so the other day Angel came to get the baby. When he got here she was sleeping. So he asked me to lay down with him. So i did. I just stroked his hair and he fell asleep and then i fell asleep. it was so nice. We talked later that night. the next day we talked for a bit and i said i would call him when i got off of work. instead i called his mom cause i needed guidance. he texted me several times but i didn't answer and when i finally did he stopped. Felt like he got upset, but maybe he just went to sleep. i don't know. Today he texted me good morning. Usually it's me doing it to him and he takes hrs to answer. Today he did it first. I was shocked. I texted good morning back and i didn't hear from him the rest of the day. So i went to clean the old apartment. I cried again. Then went to the store. When i went to the store i got him some chocolate cupcakes and roses. I left them with the babies things he was going to pick uip later. I then left him a note that said maybe we can do dinner soon? this weekend? when he got them he texted me but didn't answer about the note. so i asked and he said he was playing card with his friends. i said maybe you can come by after and he said he was going to the bars with his friends. I told him i was just asking for a couple hours. It was like history repeating itself i swear. he used to do this before and then i would keep asking until he said yes. The thing was I just need him around as a friend. But he always chooses his guy friends over me. he said that he had planned this for weeks. Angel plans nothing!!! he said y not sunday. Well the thing was that i'm tired of sharing my time with him. If it was going to be sunday we would have the baby and there goes my time with him. I know that sounds selfish, but it's true. Eventually it got to the point where he said it forcefully that he would come over. At that point i said you really don't like to spend time with me. Do you realize the only time i see you is when you pick up the baby? and now that's going to be gone. "you don't make plans with anyone. But now you have plans. Either way i know you would have said no to me even if you had nothing going on. Thats just how you are with me lately. I'm sorry. i'm going through some emotional stuff and i needed a friend. I thought you might actually choose me and come through. He didnt reply. Thats the thing about angel. his guy friends mean more to him than anything else. I'm tired of being put on the back burner. i feel that i need to stop seeking him and asking for him. I need to stop texting and calling and trying to be in his life. He's not trying to be in mine or trying to include me in his. I'm very irritated and hurt right now. Angel is literally my best friend, but i am not his. I feel like i need to let go.
  • I know this is tough...and may even be tougher to hear...believe me BEEN THERE, however, it has to be said - you have got to get out of God's way of doing His work on you and Angel. You need to just focus on each day's dare and that is it. I see a lot of manipulation (I mean that in the nicest way possible) going on. You know why I am seeing it because I did those exact same things - texting/calling/questioning/pleading/etc and they got me no where, but further from where I knew God wanted me to be. You said it yourself - you need to stop seeking him and asking for him - NOT necessarily because "he's not trying to be in your life or trying to include you in his" - that should not matter right now - you need to stop seeking him and asking for him because it should be Christ you are SOLELY seeking and asking for. Remember, this is a journey between you and Him not you and Angel. Pray for a shift of focus, let the control go, and let God use YOU how He needs to. You will be AMAZED at what He can do if you just let Him. I know you can do it! You've come so far already!

  • Nat,

    I want you to think about something.... And I am sure you will recognize the selfishness in yourself. Yes angel is selfish. But you are justifying yours through his.

    Go back and read you post more than once. Try to have an open mind. But here is the kicker. Read it as Christ is posting it and put your name where angels is!

    That is what this journey is about. Your relationship with Christ

  • yes i understand what you are both saying.  I know this is a journey with me and Christ, but i'm sure you can understand where i'm coming from.  I know i am being selfish, but thats human nature.  I'm not justifying anything, i'm just venting.  I'm tired of hurting.  Tired of feeling like nothing to the person who say they love me.  That's what i'm saying.  I'm still working on me.  This is hard when you are giving it all.  but i know in time i will be where you are.  Jenn btw you have shed light on something that has been tugging on me for sometime.  Thank you...

  • You can prepare yourself by softening your heart...God will do the work.  (Read your comments).
