Bf wants to take 10 steps back because I wanted to take 1 back
UPDATE: Later that afternoon and evening after he left my house that morning he apologized and for the way he treated me that morning and said he missed me and loved me. He said that he will propose in about a month and that we will get married on the day we originally planned to. He couldn't sleep at all that day because he wasn't with me and he felt bad about how we left off (in person). He came over after work the next day (yesterday) and brought me flowers (the perfect pick me up after three days of him being grumpy around me and after I starting my period)! 💗 He held me and hugged and kissed me and we took a nap together because I wasn't feeling well and he was exhausted from work. He explained that he was in a bad mood because showering together is what he looks forward to after a long night at work and he was sick, so he was extra disappointed that I had showered without him the other day and didn't want to anymore. He said holding me and cuddling me and all that jazz is a major temptation for him, but he just won't act on his temptations. Both of our primary love languages are physical touch, so it would be draining on our relationship to not hug and kiss and cuddle. Everything worked out, and we're on track for marriage and back to our happy selves! 😊

ORIGINAL POST: The other night I confessed to my bf that I wanted to stop showering together and being sexually intimate until marriage. We're both Christians and I confided in him that I'd been feeling guilty for what we've been doing. He agreed to not shower together and have sex again until our wedding night, but told me he wouldn't be spending the night here anymore or even take naps here (even in a separate bed). I thought this was a bit extreme since we basically just moved in together, but he thinks it's not right to be with me alone anymore. I was kind of shocked. I'm more of the "straight-laced" one in the relationship. Now he even refuses to hold me and cuddle with me, because "it's a temptation" for him. He even is moving all of his stuff back out of my place. He thinks we can only see each other a few times a week now and he doesn't want to be at my place because we'd be alone together. I feel like he's totally shutting me out just because I wanted to stop having sex and wait until marriage (which was supposed to be next spring but now he says it probably won't happen next year at all because we're not ready yet). Am I being unreasonable to disagree with him and his conditions or am I not crazy in thinking this is extreme?
