Tell Me Pastor

Cross border 'bruck out'

DEAR PASTOR,

Please help me, because I really need your help. I am 18 years old and I live in New York. My boyfriend also lives with me. The problem is in December of last year I went to Canada to visit my cousin. I was supposed to return to New York in January. While I was in Canada, I met another guy at a party that my cousin and I attended. He is a really great guy. He treats me well. Within those few days, we became very close and we had sex. He told me that he is falling in love with me. I was shocked, because I don't love this guy. I love my boyfriend.

I feel so ashamed of what I did. When I am on the telephone talking to my boyfriend I want to tell him what I did, but I can't because I don't want him to leave me. I really love my boyfriend more than anything in this world, but I am scared to tell him about what happened in Canada. I have made the biggest mistake in my life. Everyday that I get up I am hoping that I can tell my boyfriend what I have done and move on with our lives, but I can't because I am scared.

Pastor, please tell me what to do because I am going crazy and I feel depressed. Please, I need your advice. It will mean a lot.

S. P.,

Dear S.P,

You made a mistake. Your passion got the better of you. You regret what you have done. Talk to God about it. End the relationship with this new guy and keep your mouth shut.

Pastor
