13 yrs ago, I met this guy who was 23, & I was 26. He was a church minister, & I was surprised when he msg'd me, wanting to be friends. At that time, I'd just gone thru a rough breakup w/ my GF. We started hanging out, attending public svcs w/ his church, & I saw a diff side of him.
After 1 mo of friendship, he confessed his feelings & asked if he cd court me. I was taken aback, unsure of how to react. Part of me was flattered, but another part was hesitant.
Despite my reservations, I was won over by his concern & care. Every wknd, he'd pick me up, & we'd go on joyrides, grab coffee, & watch movies. Those moments were special, & I found myself looking forward to them. B4 bed, we'd talk on the phone, sharing our thoughts & dreams.
After 4 mos of courting, I decided to give our relationship a chance. For 1 yr, everything seemed perfect. He was loving, supportive, & kind. But then, w/o warning, he left me. No explanation, no closure. I was devastated.
I tried reaching out, but he was unreachable. His # was blocked, & I was cut off from his soc med. It was like he vanished into thin air. Mos later, I learned from a mutual friend that he'd been dismissed from the church due to his relationship w/ another guy.
The news hit me hard. I was heartbroken, feeling betrayed & confused. But my love for him remained strong. I quit my job, sold my biz, & followed him to Manila, hoping to rekindle what we had. But when I got there, reality slapped me in the face. He had a new partner, & it hurt seeing him happy w/ someone else.
The person I knew was gone. The humble, kind minister I fell for was now a diff person. He had tats, identified as bisexual, & had taken up drinking & trying prohibited drugs. It was a shock, & I struggled to come to terms w/ the change.
Healing took time - 10 long yrs. But w/ each passing day, I slowly began to let go of the pain & anger. I still have love for him, but now it's tinged w/ acceptance. He's moved on, & so have I. Today, he's a successful businessman, happy w/ his partner.
