Struggling with Zina
Hello I’m a young student that needs some help with Zina I met a girl this year that I love very much but we have been intermingling. She goes to the same school as me so I see her everyday and we both love each other very much and I have tried to stay from it from the moment we met. I established boundaries and I told her what I wanted was to get married. But then we started going out a lot, talking on the phone at night, and we spend a lot of our time with each other and it eventually lead to Zina I felt so terrible and I regret it but I keep going back to it and her I. I was born a Muslim but I have never been very religious I grew up under a lot of western influences but recently I’ve been trying to be a better Muslim and a man. I’m so frustrated at myself and I’ve tried to limit myself as much as possible and I’m starting to get depressed. I don’t know what to do and I’m drowning in guilt. I would really appreciate any advice please.
