Me and my boyfriend are the perfect couple. We communicate well and talk out our disagreements. We had been sexting, suggestive pics and texts. But nothing, you know, big. He knows I want to wait till marriage for sex. I have mentioned it a lot. He has no opinions on when we do or don’t.

Though tonight something changed. He started asking if we could before marriage, right after we got engaged. I was open with my feelings about it, which is very hard for me. I suppress my feelings all the time, He’s the first person I have ever opened up to at all. He knows that my feelings are sensitive.

I told him that made me feel like he just wanted my body when he asked for that, and I felt like he was gonna leave if I gave him what he wanted.

And he told me that I should know that he loves me, from how much he’s talked about his future with me.

I know he loves and cares for me. It’s obvious in the way he talks to me daily.

Maybe I overreacted, but I feel like crap and need some reassurance.

I just feel like he doesn’t respect my decision and I said that.
