I feel bad that I have led a man of God astray

Photo; Courtesy

I am 34 years, based in Nairobi and in love with a priest who has taken the oath of celibacy. This relationship has been on for a year and only seems to get worse each day. I love this man so much but sometimes I feel as if I am making a big mistake against God and the church. The problem is that he will not let me go because he loves me too much and says he is considering leaving the church to be with me. I don’t think this is the right thing for him because if he chooses to marry me, he will be ex-communicated from the church and I cannot support him financially. Every time I ask him to let me go, he seduces me and convinces me that it will work out somehow. I really don’t know what to do. I want to be happy in this life and one that is free of guilt and resentment. Please advise me. {Rhoda}
