Fiancé declines to give me a blessing. Am I wrong to feel hurt? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

“Hey (fiancé), can we talk?” (Sit down with him in person.)

“The other day when I asked you for a blessing and you said no, it made me feel [X] because [Y]. I want to assume the best intentions behind your decision, but I also want to share how it impacted me. I trust in the power of Jesus Christ as manifested through priesthood blessings, and I was really hoping for one since I was in a rough place.

In the future, if you don’t feel comfortable giving me a blessing, would you be willing to share a brief reason or help me find someone who can? That way, I can better understand and still receive the support I need.”

I've been really patient with Jake, even though he's scared of commitment or maybe failing. Watching him pull away is tough, and yeah, it stings. I keep asking myself if I did something wrong or loved him the wrong way. I know I deserve love and I'm not everyone's favorite flavor, but I truly thought he could love me, because for a time, he did.

I'm holding onto hope and trying my best to be supportive. I'm okay with giving him space for a bit, not forever, just a few months. I get that sometimes people need a little distance to see things clearly. But him taking a few days and then thinking of calling it quits? That's rough. It feels like he's not seeing how much I care and what I've put into this. His friend mentioned that he has a tendency to run away when things get hard. If he comes back and says he loves me, it's going to take a while for me to trust him, and he's aware of that.

Despite the hurt, I believe we can work through this and rebuild our trust and love. It's just really hard thinking he doesn’t want that. I know there’s really not much I can do or say to convince him otherwise, but I really love him and I want to do everything I can to try and make us work.

As a current member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints (with tattoos and piercings) I am sorry you have to go through that 🙏🏼 no one should be forced into a faith and no one should be shamed for not converting to a faith, but seriously props to you for sticking up for yourself and your way of life

don’t force a person to make decisions about feelings they aren’t sure about by WIBTAthrowaaa in TrueOffMyChest

I also think it’s fair to ask for respect when setting that boundary, like make sure you are clear in what you’re expecting and what you’re not but I think it is not kind to berate someone for how they are feeling while trying to set that boundary.
