I urgently need prayers. My relationship with my older boyfriend, Jerome, is extremely unhealthy. He carries deep emotional pain from his childhood, struggles with expressing his feelings, and is often emotionally unavailable and unempathetic. I find it very difficult to let go and move on. I constantly reach out to him—calling, texting, and overwhelming him with messages—because I'm deeply hurt and emotionally attached, which makes it painful for me to think about moving on. A therapist has told me that I am emotionally and mentally unstable, which makes me feel bad, knowing that this vulnerability led me into an unhealthy relationship with Jerome. When we first met, he pressured me into things in exchange for financial support and a place to stay, as my living situation with my mom and sister was quite challenging. I haven't navigated workplace relationships well either. There's a part of me that wants to be with Jerome, but another part longs for the strength to cut ties, address my own issues, and pursue a godly, fulfilling, and healthy life. He seeks my guidance to become a better man, yet he has been toxic, abusive, and cruel towards me. In response, I've become angry and have reacted physically at times. I find myself asking him for gestures like flowers, balloons, teddy bears, and outings. I need him to acknowledge the wrongs he’s done throughout our time together, to discuss them, and to apologize. I’m even reminding him to greet me with a simple “good morning” or to check in with a quick text and emojis while he’s at work.

The man I refer to as my boyfriend has been striving to connect with me on a deeper level, but I find myself feeling emotionally exhausted. He seems to desire clear guidance on how to express affection—such as buying me flowers, giving me compliments, offering romantic gifts, greeting me warmly, and checking on my well-being—to become a better partner. It’s disheartening that he’s emotionally unavailable and struggling to show care for me; it feels like he’s grown weary of trying and believes he can’t do anything right. In response, I’ve sought his attention in various ways and shared online articles about healthy communication. I’ve tried to explain what a real man should do, emphasizing the disparity in our ages—him being an older man and me a younger woman. While he is making an effort to improve himself, I have reacted with hurt and anger to his robotic and sometimes toxic behavior. Despite our mutual desire to express love, our relationship remains unhealthy. Letting go has been incredibly challenging, particularly due to my financial reliance on him and the comfort of his home. I’m actively looking for other income sources as I’ve become emotionally attached over the years. He struggles to show affection because he hasn’t healed yet, and he requires my support to open up. He’s indicated he wants my guidance on how to be a good partner. While he currently supports me as I navigate my disability, we both need more peace, especially considering his chest pain. I’m also seeking healing for my own bladder issues and other painful experiences in life. I’m trying to be mindful not to bring up significant topics when he’s tired. I truly need advice on how to communicate my feelings effectively and to understand what is reasonable to expect from him.

First I want to thank each and every person on this site for praying for me. Next, I want to thank the Lord for some prayers that have been prayed that’s been answered. I do have some things that I’m still waiting on direction, clarity and peace on from the lord, so please pray for this for me. I have faith that God can do the IMPOSSIBLE even when it seems there’s no hope. Please continue to pray about my daughters situation with her EX we don’t know if this is the one God has placed in her life for a reason or what, but I feel in my heart they love each other very much. Sometimes being young and easily convinced by friends and scared of what they say or think young men make the wrong decisions based on that. Help me pray that if this is the one for my daughter help these two reconnect again, and not let friends, family or anyone tear them apart. Even, if they are not meant pray they can forgive each other talk things out . Also, pray for my daughters friend she’s going through something similar to my daughter situation and taking break up really hard.. She hasn’t been able to focus at work or school and can’t eat! Lord knows this generation is so hard when dealing with relationships

But Gods bigger he can do anything ! Please help me pray.

Thanks so much
