hi guys!

my boyfriend told me that he was molested as a child... sometimes when i try touching him he doesn’t let me touch him. i know it might be normal due to the situation but does anyone have any experience with this? if so, how are you dealing with it? what can i do to help him? and what can i do to not feel bad about myself when i try to be intimite and he doesn’t? i feel like our relationship might fail... like i try to understand him but i’ve never been molested so idk what goes through his head... idk how not to feel bad about it because i’m clingy sometimes and i just feel really bad for him... any advice? thank you.
