Question to Father

Question: Father, I am 20 years old and being in love with 16 years older man. Now we have been split without any serious reason… He just did not call me one day. Neither did I… and, that turned into the end of the story. But, I still love him… He is a churchgoer, moreover, he wears surplice. But, I cannot understand why he acts so.. Is that a sin?
Answer: Love that you mean is divine feeling and should be domed with marriage. Please, consider and realize everything before making next step. It’d be better . . .
