Need help navigating my boyfriends negative reaction to me saying no to sex
For about a year now I have struggled alot with the intimate aspect of my relationship.
My partner and I have been through numerous very bad fights starting early on in the relationship and it has caused alot of resentment. They really started out of jealousy issues because I have a naturally sort of flirtatious personality and a lot of close male friends. I am also in a male dominated sport and career path.
I’ve never had an issue with jealousy towards my male friends or sport in past relationships. I’m also very understanding and open to my partner have friendships and close friendships with females. If any questions of loyalty were raised we would just discuss it.
In this current relationship the jealousy and mistrust started very early as he would get very very angry at me and I didn’t understand why. Eventually it came out as he would start to ask me “what’s going on between you and this person.” He would proceed to act very angry towards those people and make a lot of tension within the group. He began messaging people from my sport gym through a fake Instagram and telling me to not talk to me. He would ask to go through my phone so much. I would just give it to him because on my end there is nothing to hide these people are just friends and teammates that are important to me. He continues to make these problems to this day if I reach out to male friends randomly to check in, he considers this cheating. I completely disagree.. and I’ve tried to alter the way i navigate these friendships in an attempt to respect his beliefs.
Over time this has caused me to have a lot of resentment. And I no longer feel attracted to him. I also have some SA in my past from teenage years. So me saying no is something I really stand strong on. He has started to have really really negative reactions to me saying no. We had sex last week and today he tried to start it and I said no I don’t want to and he just got up and and left with k o goodbye nothing and won’t answer my texts.
Is this is the end of this relationship? Can this be solved? His anger and tension towards me saying no is pushing me so much further away.
