What NOT to Do During a Breakup

In a previous video Fr. Mike discussed four questions to ask yourself when discerning God’s will for your life. When presented with a new door (or big decision), ask yourself:
Is it good?
Is it open?
Is it wise?
Is it something I want?
See the video here: • 4 Helpful Rules for Di...
Now when applying this discernment process to a relationship, you have to remember that the other person is likely asking him or herself the same questions. The hardest heartbreak, though, comes when the first three questions check out but the fourth question-Is this something I want?-does not.
In these situations, the one thing Fr. Mike says not to do is blame God. If you’re the one choosing to break up with your significant other, it’s easy to deflect the blame onto God and say he told you to do it. It’s more likely, however, that God gave you the freedom to choose what to do for yourself. So take responsibility.
If you are the one who was dumped, God still has a plan for you. You are more than a footnote to the life of your former boyfriend or girlfriend, so don’t let anything he or she said make you feel that way. Go and find where God is leading you next.
Lastly, if you’re discerning the religious life and were turned down by an order or seminary, all these pieces of advice apply just as well.

LIterally what I'm going through right now. Recently came back to the Church, I'm in a sinful relationship. In order for me to be in full communion and to be worthy to receive the sacraments, I have to end this relationship. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. The hardest cross to take up but I have to, I've tried going other paths or other "churches" but it's not the same. So thank you, Father Mike, for this, seriously.

Going through a really heavy breakup from a 4 and a half year relationship. He's a really good man, but I left him after I was too stressed and pressured in life and thought someone else could take care of me better. I came back to him and thought he would still want me. We tried again but only for a few days because he couldn't trust me anymore. And now he's trying things with a new person, and it is so heavy to accept. I pray I can attain peace soon. It's so hard to throw away everything we have shared. Everything reminds me of him. Please if anyone can read this, pray for me and my healing. Thank you

So, I have been an atheist since puberty and for the last two years I have cohabitated with my boyfriend, also an atheist. A few months ago we were even talking about trying to have a child together. Something weird happened though. I started to have and to ask questions. About the origin of the universe, about free will, about morality... The conversation with him on these subjects just left me more confused and full with new questions. I started reading The Gulag Archipelago and all the books of C.S. Lewis. I started believing in God again and attending mass, going back to my Orthodox Church. My boyfriend was enraged. I do understand he feels betrayed. I broke up with him last week and went to live with my grandmother for a while. It hurts soo much, it's like ripping my body in two. But it is the best thing I can do for him and for me.

Wish I could have seen this 2 years ago. My ex told me that things "didn't feel right anymore" and that she felt that us dating wasn't what God wanted. She even told ME that she felt that I was "called to be a priest." Literally left me with so much pain and confusion because I wasn't feeling the same thing. Turns out she was hanging out with a different guy when I wasn't around and wanted to start dating him instead. She just told me those things instead of taking responsibility and telling me the truth. It's been very hard and Ive struggled with relationships ever since but God has gotten me through A LOT. I've become a much stronger person because of my experiences and I wouldn't change anything. I know God has a plan for me and I trust in his will. I hope you all do too!

[@melissaklein163]

Thank you so much for this video! My boyfriend broke up with me a few days after I had watched this video because he is discerning his vocation. It really did feel like God just used me to help his discernment, then my job was done, and I was left behind. I came back to this video and was struck by the line about how if this is what God wants for him, then this is what God wants for me, too. I think that God put this video in my path before it happened so that even in that hurt, even if I didn't believe it in the moment, I was reminded that this is part of his plan for me, too. Thank you again for the time you take to pray about and record these videos!

[@garriteinig3445]

Some really outstanding wisdom to be found here. Almost a year ago the girl I had been dating for about four years broke up with me, and according to her it was primarily because I'm Catholic and she said she couldn't be Catholic or have Catholic kids. It was a very long road to peace and recovery for me, and this video helps with understanding and coping with that kind of loss. I've also struggled a lot since then in understanding how our free will and God's divine will interact in our lives. Just like searching for "the one," I find myself constantly asking if I'm on the single path that is God's will. Fr. Mike's explanation saying God's primary will is us to be saints, and leaving a lot of decisions up to our own prayerful discernment helps a lot for me to lose some of the stress of wondering if I'm following God's will.

[@phdstudio102]

Fr., God bless you for your last statement. It took me time to learn this. Even in our mistakes, failures, regrets and wrong choices, God is still there. Even in our confusions and poor discernments, God never leaves. 💖

Thank you so much for this video! I was questioning myself about this last times. I had come at some point of my life at a moment where I didn't even know anymore what I liked or wanted as I thought everything "as God wanted". And in fact I became kind of dependent on external factors or on others' comments. Things were getting bad and prayer didn't help. Till I reconnected to myself, to who I am and what my desires were. It is not possible to live in an eternal frustration because that is what comes afterwards : I didn't realize it, but I know I would not be joyful and that is a good indicator that sth is wrong, even though I fought to do all my duties and change myself according to critics (we are sometimes told that God speaks to us through family, but it is true only to a certain extent)... God even wants us to pursue what we desire (if open and wise as you said). It is so beautiful and also sometimes fearful to see how much liberty God gave us : but this allows us to wear a chosen daily smile. I will serve him and my brothers with a chosen joy! And not do something if it means doing it in a depressed way

Fr. Mike, this video helped me so much. I entered a religious order 10 years ago first as a lay missionary and then as an aspirant. I spent two years with them only to be ultimately turned down, even though my heart desperately wanted to enter this particular convent. Although I have moved on with my life and even did an aspirancy with another order, I have never gotten over my initial heartbreak. I desired with all my heart to enter the first order and they and their charism met everything my heart was looking for. I’ve spent the last 10 years doubting my own discernment and wondering how I could trust my judgement if I had discerned something so fully only to be “rejected by God” so to speak and in turn, how could I discern anything if I can’t trust my judgement? I have experienced incredible and ongoing pain because of this. Your video helped me see things in a different light. And although I am still in need of a lot of healing, this video helped me with that next step. Thank you!

[@imalive4u169]

It's about testing the water. You have to have a common ground with the other person to be in a good relationship most importantly I recommend sharing the same faith which thinking long term is something you would want to pass down to your children. When you are dating and in a relationship you want to learn more about the person and sometimes they are incapable and sometimes not wanting to commit themselves to you in which case end the relationship. Once you marry that person you have to look at it as until death there is no going back. Which is why I advise people to be selective whom that they decide to marry.

[@adamhovey407]

I wish every parish had a Fr. Mike. I would really appreciate having a conversation with him right now to help me figure out some things....I think many of us who listen regularly to Fr. Mike feel that way. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with our current parish priest, just that Fr. Mike has proven himself & built that rapport with us.

[@leamarie6039]

Reminds me of the story about the actress turned Nun who played the role of St. Claire. It was an old movie from circa 50s i think. The actress who played later on starred with Elvis and was engaged to be married to her bf. However, after playing St. Claire, she discerned to enter the congregation and broke up with her fiance. The best thing was that, the fiance never marry and every Christmas, he visits her for the next 50 years until his death. So i guess whenever Fr. Mike speaks about being the pond or footnote for vocational discernment is real.

That's tough to hear brother. Relationships are hard, man. Just remember about agape, wanting what is best for her and respecting her will over your own.

Somebody I like very much got me close to him, to close even, I thought we'll be together. Then he said he has a girlfriend, but he wants me still to be close to him. For a while we're still spending our time together, thought that he is discerning, but he became less and less care about me, and he said to people he has a girlfriend when they asked him about me. That was a rejection. I feel he was just using me for a thrill. Then i realized that i did not do the right thing either, and i felt guilty when i was thinking about his girl in another country. So I decided to end this, with the grace of God. This video comes in the right time when I feel like I'm just some garbage. Thank you Fr. Mike. Thank you Lord.

A…men… This just HAD to come almost exactly a year after the breakup that's absolutely torn me apart inside and out and hasn't stopped…guess that's God's timing at work…
