What does it mean when a man says future love is “God’s business”?

[dertiyuh]

What is a man thinking when he answers 'It's God's business, it's unknown, I don't know' to the question 'If we happen to break up one day, would you love someone else again?' Is he being honest, or is he someone to stay away from?
​If he said, 'If we break up, it must be for a major reason. We wouldn't break up over small things,' and then added, 'If something like that happens and we break up, I don't know, it's God's business'?

I honestly wouldn't take that answer as a red flag by itself. To me, he’s basically saying, “I can't predict the future, and I don't want to pretend I can.”

The fact that he said you'd only break up over something serious also makes it sound like he takes the relationship seriously. He isn't saying he wants someone else; he's saying he doesn't know what life would look like if the relationship ever ended.

Sometimes “I don't know” is actually the more honest answer. I’d judge him more by how he treats you now than by what he might feel in a hypothetical future.

When it comes to me, I can't imagine being with anyone else. He is the one I could fall in love with -no one else. But for him, it seems so easy to move on; if the right person comes along, he could love her as if I never existed. Yet I just can't see anyone else as perfect as him to fall in love with.

He might also feel the same way but express it in a different way

[WhitneySnow]

Not necessarily. He’s just being realistic. How long have you guys been dating?

[dertiyuh]

About 2 years

Maybe not a red flag, but you should talk to him about it.

[DonaldDarko]

Just means he believes that God will choose what happens and not him. He's actually being very respectful of his religious beliefs. He must be very thoughtful and devout.

He seems pretty stoical willing to drift on the wind.

I'd just take it as the spiritual or religious equivalent of the saying: "Whatever happens, happens"

My aim on GAG is to decode confusing love signals so your heart doesn’t get played with 😏

He’s actually being pretty honest. He’s saying: “I can’t predict the future, but I take this seriously.” That “it’s God’s business” line means he isn’t lovebombing you with fake forever promises.

Not a red flag by itself. It’s mature, just not fairy-tale romantic.

A typical cop-out that Christians are so good at.

I think what he meant was that it would be God's will lol

Don't worry about doosday scenarios like this. Focus on trying to make it work. If it doesn't, who cares what he does after?

[In_Trance]

It means you should have asked him for clarification

[dertiyuh]

What clarification? He is saying it clearly

[In_Trance]

No, no, he's not saying it clearly otherwise you wouldn't be here asking what does it mean

I have no idea! I've never heard oof that before and there's no such thing as god! Gods are for superstitious people of low intellect,

[fishbone77]

lol what? You're making up things to be upset about.

He intends to move on quickly and claim God wanted him to so he doesn't feel bad
