about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

hi! :]

my boyfriend & i had been together for almost 2 months. i really had strong feelings towards him. he always treated me right, i knew he was the one.

he broke up with me today and his reason was because he's looking for a girl whose a "woman of god" & that isn't me. he called me back about 3 hours after he broke up with me, and said that he had talked to his best friend & he heard a song that reminded him of me. & he wouldn't know how to go on without me. also that my religion doesnt really matter right now we just have to live each day by itself.

now he wants me back. but ive talked to my mom & sister about this already and they both said i shouldnt get back with him.

i really like him, i might even love him. do you think that me taking him back would be completely bad?

please help.
thanks a lot.

In reference to another answer, sometimes religion does matter. Although some people can overlook the differences, others cannot. He is obviously struggling with those differences. It is best to come to terms with this before a long term committment to each other.

I'd say if you can work out an agreement regarding your religious belief systems then it would be okay to take him back.

If you sense that he is not completely comfortable with your religion and neither of you are willing to convert, then this might be an indication of future problems and your Mom and Sister may just be right

(Rating: 5) thanks soo much.

your response really really helped me. i think im just going to wait a while anyways just to see how things go on with us being friends & see how he deals with the whole religion thing then. i personally dont think religion matters. but he's completely different & our views about things are soooo different its not even funny. :]

but thanks again!!
