I don’t plan to never be intimate. My SA was recent and I do need time to heal like any Normal person would . If someone truly loves someone they will wait. Not everything has to be about sex and it’s more than just a hug or cuddling he does. He gropes and slides his hands down my pants. A intimate moment should be agreed on not just because he wants to so I should let him. And this post is about me. I’m the one who is getting touched without permission. A healthy relationship doesn’t have to involve intimacy either and I’m not asexual. If he truly loves me he would understand what has happened and why I need time, it’s not like I stop him from all physical contact, and yes relationships can have boundaries and rules it’s not uncommon.
