This might be silly to ask for a prayer about but I think I'm falling out of love with my long distance boyfriend of almost 3 years, he is the most perfect, and the first boyfriend I ever had, he makes sure my feelings are the first priority, compliments me, reassures me, listens to me and helps me, everything I would of ever asked for in a man, he's loyal, and has a close relationship with his family and friends. He's open and honest with me, sometimes lies to keep me happy but I see through him and eventually he tells the truth. He loves me with everything and is willing to do anything for me to keep me happy, he once said if it would make me happy he would let me go. He also mentioned before when I asked him what he would be like if we broke up and he said he would be heartbroken and devastated. but even after all his efforts I'm starting to not feel the love as I used to, I'm not sure why. He has some flaws but don't we all? He makes racist or homophobic jokes sometimes but I showed my discomfort to them and he didn't change, as well as intimacy - I want to only have intimacy after marriage when I'm ready to have a child but he wants it casually after marriage and he sometimes makes sex comments about doing things with me but I feel uncomfortable. I want to have a conversation with him about it because I don't know if he really is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with if I cannot feel love from him no matter what he does. He recently spent hours, with the help of his sister picking out perfect birthday gifts for me and it's currently on the way. He spent a lot of effort and he's more excited for me to see this gift than him so I'm not sure when is the right time to bring it up. On top of that, I was on a month time of vacation and I didn't miss him at all during it, I felt as peace more even but he said he missed me so much it felt like a year. I see him in the future as one of my best friends, not my lover. I was about to talk to him yesterday about it and end things with a good term but while I was with friends I saw that they were all in new happy loving relationships and that made me change my mind. However I said to him over text let's watch a movie tonight after I play games with my friends, minutes turns into hours and I didn't really look forwards to hanging out with him, instead I was happy hanging out with my friends, but in the end I invited him because I broke my promise to hangout with him but we had a great time, he was quiet on the call most of the time which was odd but he is autistic and open with me. I have prayed to God to give me a sign but I'm not sure what type of sign God will give me. I really don't know what to do Please pray for me
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
