Can I ask you a few questions?
1) do tou feel that without her you dont have why to live for?
2) do you ask her before making a decision on everything?
3) is it very important for you that you agree on almost everything?
4) do you need her in order to be happy? 
5) do you think about her, what she would think, do, approve of, when you do stuff that has nothing to do with her?
6) do you feel you havto share EVERYTHING with her?
7) do you need her approval on everything you do in order to feel good?
8) do you have mixed feelings while answering those questions, trying to figure out out what the right answer should be in order to say that this is indeed a great match, or trying to make excuses why it really is good???
Be honest with yourself...

sometimes I find I want to share stuff with her but I don’t feel I Hvto tell HER EVERYTHING!! Sometimes I think about what she would think about something... and sometimes I’m feeling down and talking to her makes me feel better at times bh (being honest) everything else is a no. 

[p]Ok so I’ll be very honest and it’s your choice if you want to believe me or not... so number 4,5,6 a little bit of yes not fully tho

I can’t even start to imagine how hard this is for you. 

You're probably thinking to yourself:
"Why do I really need to break up with her? If we go so good together, why can't I just continue? You might argue that it's bad for my yiddishkeit, but I truly feel that I've really grown since I've met her."

Let me tell you, I once went to visit my family, who had a girl about my age. We started talking. I fell in love with her. More precisely, I was totally infatuated by her. I already saw myself together with her. 

Even though my situation wasn't so involved as yours, my point is that I wasn't seeing clearly. Even after not having spoken to her and seeing her for a few weeks and months, I still felt a 'connection'.

I find the problem with these situations is that as long as we're involved, and perhaps as long as we see it as a possibility we aren't able to think clearly.

Therefore, I would highly recommend what has been recommended by the choshuve oilem over here: either seek daas toireh on this issue by someone who knows you and find clarity, and if he tells you to marry her, then fine. Or break it off. 

The situation as is can't continue.

I know it's an extremely hard situation on your part. And the fact that you were able to reach out over here, makes you a true hero. But the fact that you reached out over here shows that you yourself realize that this situation is not optimal. It's probably tearing you up on the inside. That's normal. 

You're at a crossroads where every option is painful. 
1.) Reaching out is extremely hard, especially with the nature of this issue being very sensitive.
2.) Breaking up doesn't even seem possible. How can you get yourself to break up with your best friend, especially if she might be your bashert?
3.) Continuing the way it's gone so far might be the easiest option and that's why it has continued up till now. But you yourself realize that it's not right and it's eating you up on the inside.

At the end of the day, Hashem created each one of us with a moral compass. You know what the right thing is to do, and as long as you won’t follow that inner guide, you’ll feel that bitter aftertaste.

May Hashem give you the inner strength to do what is right in his eyes.

AM


I want to thank YOU! It seems like you understand it very well!I feel like right now I know it’s not right for me I just need help with the break and the outlook of the break etc etc...

Re: Boyfriend-girlfriend relationship 06 Dec 2020 15:58 #358274

Hey;) what a fighter you are!

I'd just add to the above mentioned. Just a simple explanation why you shouldn't have a girlfriend. Having a girlfriend without being able to touch her etc is pure torture for a guy so it'll be better without having one. 

This is obviously pary of the many other reasons meantioned above by others. 

Another thing to have in mind, when you break up, do it with a professional guiding you thru.

Re: Boyfriend-girlfriend relationship 07 Dec 2020 21:12 #358367

I just want to echo what everyone else is saying over here.

WOW!!!!

Amazing!! You’re pulling through.
What strength!!
It’s hard.
No.
Scrap that.
It’s excruciating.
The emotional ties that are there are so hard to break through.
But that’s why I’m so really proud of you.

I’ll also second what our dear Grant is saying.
There will be times when you might come to second-guess this decision. You’ll think about her and miss her.
Expect it. It’s part of the package.
But don’t let that hold you back from sticking to your decision. Stay strong.
IY”H it will get easier with time. But, it will take time.

The message, though, is that at those times when you’re feeling all alone, remember, you’re not.
Reach out over here. Let us know how you’re doing, how you’re feeling.

I’m also confident that if you stick to your decision, your level of Avoidas Hashem will go up. You’ll be able to focus better and be more involved in your learning. And even though it’s difficult, deep down you’ll feel good with yourself.

You are unbelievably strong!

I don't know if I were in your shoes I would be able to do what you are doing.

You know what you are doing is the right thing.

Yes, as you realize yourself it is not easy, not easy at all.


Yet you know your time and place.

Your heart is telling you one thing, your head is telling you another.
Life is about choices, it can get extremely confusing but you pulled through and chose to dedicate your next couple of years learn Hashems Torah. To become a better yid.

This is admirable.


May Hashem bench you with all the brachos begashmiyus and beruchniyus
And at the right time, you will find that "special" person.


I really admire your courage!
Hatzlacha rabbah

P.s please update us when you can

One who sees hope in each day is already free
