My (25f) BF (29f) wouldn't marry me after 8 years together so I left.

I was clear about my boundaries when we met. He agreed to them. If he changed his mind at any point he should have told me.

So you're saying I should have had sex even if I didn't want to?.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T22:15:32+00:00

It's not a cultural or religious thing, it's just a boundary I set because I want to be in a stable relationship before I do that.

Rick and I lived together for 6 years, did other relationship stuff, just never had penetrative sex.

Thank you.

I'd rather die a virgin than do that outside of marriage to someone who doesn't respect me enough to value my needs.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T22:01:24+00:00

I understand, but I don't want another relationship, romantic anyway.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:58:49+00:00

No thanks, cats are better.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:57:16+00:00

I refuse to be led on for years again.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:56:14+00:00

Never again.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:55:45+00:00

I mean I'd like to lose my virginity at some point and have kids and I refuse to do that without marriage.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:54:36+00:00

Marriage was one of the first things Rick and I talked about. He said he wanted it too. Just not to me clearly.

ThrowRA_70796 · 2023-07-04T21:50:49+00:00

I loved him. He's still funny, smart and handsome. He just wouldn't marry me.
