He has been my best friend since I was about 13, so we're very close, but I always refused to date him until I was 16 and realized I had been living a selfish life and I wasn't making myself happy in the right ways.
I love him so much, and he loves me very much too. A lot of times I think he loves me more than I love him, he knows me very well and knows that I will pull away from him a lot (I have commitment issues) and abandon him. But he always keeps trying. He just knows me so well, that I don't even understand it. He's just too good, you know? My problem is that I'm personally not physically attracted to him, but I try not to think about that, since he's definitly attracted to me!

and best of all, he respects all my decisions about my life, even though he knew me and how I used to act, he respects how much has changed since I found God, and never tries to change it.

That is wonderful. Does your bf share your religious views? I know that my dad made my hubby and I go on a Christian retreat (separately) before we could get married. We also went through pre-marital counseling with our preacher before we got married. Having God in our relationship is really what holds us together. I love being able to share my religion with my hubby. It's a good feeling.
