My boyfriend recently broke up with me and it has been one of the most devastating periods of my life. We loved each other dearly but there were a lot of problems, mostly caused by my insecurity and his inability to reassure me of his commitment to me (he says he's not a very expressive person, I'm not sure). The thing is that I was so sure that he was the love of my life. I know it sounds cheesy but we were perfect in every way, except that he is Catholic and I'm Christian. I know Catholics can also be Christians, and I know that he loves God. He's not so sure about the Catholic teaching on the body and blood of Christ. I'm not quite sure what this teaching really is. He says that he probably doesn't believe in it. But he seems to love God, to the extent that he could since they don't have this conception of a personal relationship with God.
Anyway, now that it is over, I feel like I should have tried harder to bridge the gap between us rather than fighting with him all the time. I did pray to God about the relationship, I must confess sometimes I asked him to make it work, rather than seek His will. Do you think God is punishing me for loving my boyfriend too much? Do you think that He is punishing me for being unequally yoked? Does He really have a plan for all of us, including finding a partner for us? I am tired of being alone.
