my first/ex- boyfriend now is taking his course of becoming a priest, but he is still communicating with me. he still calls me and send me messages. he always say i love you even though he is now in the seminary.. every time he called, i always remind him that he is already steps closer to priesthood and should no longer call me and say i love you or what so ever, but he always reasoned out that things can still possible happen. that he can still go out and look for me and win me back again if i will let him to. now im torn between him and God. i can never and won't ever compete with God. if God is calling him for priesthood, i would be very much willing to let him go, but then he always insisted..what should i do?

Wow what a dilema. I don't think he should really put you in the middle to chose him or the priesthood. He's basically saying its up to you to decide whether or not he continues and he shouldn't ask you to do that. If he has doubts and thinks he would be happier with you then he should make that decision.

Well, if he was so attracted to you, why did he join the seminary? It sounds confusing to me. And even after joining the seminary, why did he continue his relationship with you? God is not limited to the seminary. He is in the homes of married couples too. So, if your boyfriend wants a relationship with you, I think he should be honest and come out of the seminary. Cheers and happy mylotting

Wow, that is like a story I would read in some odd romance novel. Obviously he probably is not made to be a priest, if he has temptation now then how will he go the rest of his life without companionship. It's definitely not your fault if he still loves you, and don't feel like you are competing with God. He probably should not be a priest anyway, so just let him do what he wants, if he wants to leave the priesthood then let him, but if you don't want him back do not lead him on, you must be honest about everything with him. If you guys don't work out then you could change his life forever because you changed his path, so be as honest about things as you can be! Good luck, and happy mylotting!
