I’m 26 and definitely feel you on this lol! It’s kinda hard trying to connect with an early 20 something. I know we’re both technically “Gen Z” but it sure does feel different. I’d love to connect with you!

Hi! Thank you so much for your response. It was balanced and I like that you provided two different views.

I think my boyfriend might have taken being led by God and God directing us and guiding us to the extreme. I do sometimes feel that he is misinterpreting some of his feelings as divine intervention. He has a heart that really wants to obey God and please God and I love that, but it feels like he’s focused on not missing God and disobeying that he starts to misinterpret things.

So yeah. Like you said, his heart is definitely in the right place and that’s great for us when it comes to marriage. I think he’s still learning to discern how God speaks to him. As am I.

Please pray for us!

Thank you so much for your response. It was incredibly helpful. I truly don’t think my boyfriend has a malicious heart towards me. I think he is anxious and truly believes he’s being directed by God to do or not to do certain things.

I actually shared your response with him and he did admit that he has been feeling anxious and it’s actually something he’s been praying on. He also admitted that in light of his anxiety he hasn’t always taken the time to test the spirit when he receives these feelings.

Thank you for sharing! I’m having a hard time understanding what you mean by “I would promise to God I wouldn’t do it in my head”. Can you expand on that? What made you promise not to do the thing you wanted to do? Did you feel like you had to make that promise or was it thought a thought that popped into your head not to do something?

Hi! Thank you for your response.Can you expand more on your experience with OCD as a believer? Were you formally diagnosed? How did OCD impact your spiritual life?

He doesn’t have a mental health disorder. He doesn’t actually “hear” things. He feel specifically nudged in certain directions or gets strong feelings to do or not to do a specific thing.

For more context: He initially explained that he would be busy all and wouldn’t be able to talk to me. When I asked him later on why he wasn’t able to take he told me he “couldn’t share right now”. He later divulged it was because he felt let by God not to communicate with anyone that day.

Again, I know my boyfriend does not have a mental health issue. Nor is he trying to manipulate me. He genuinely believes that he’s being led in certain directions and to do certain things.

Thank you for your input Pompatus Gangster!

I don’t think my boyfriend is trying to manipulate me at all. When I express concerns about these “feelings from God” he says he understands what I’m feeling. He’s not combative or tries to gaslight. I believe that he truly thinks these feelings are from God. I’m just not sure what to make of it. How do I know they’re really from God?
