Celibacy

Whew, what a year. I got engaged, got pregnant, thought my whole life was coming together…

And then I miscarried at 9 weeks, and my partner ended our relationship shortly after.

In the wake of it all, I’ve decided to practice celibacy for a while, at least until I’m in a committed relationship that I feel truly safe & supported in. .Not rushing at all… I feel like my body needs break ❤️‍🩹

I’m back in the dating game a little bit now and I notice that when I tell men I’m not going to have sex with them straight away, most of them withdraw to a certain extent. Sometimes, they straight up run away 😂

I’m curious if anyone else has practiced celibacy or at least waiting to have sex until commitment/marriage, and how it went for you? How do you hold your boundary and keep potentials interested?
