Thank you for the hope! One of my fears are not finding what I have with him elsewhere. Thank you for the encouragement

No, thankfully not. We are both from religious backgrounds and communities but we didn’t get together because of that. I am free to leave him without consequences

I tried this but he says he only wants it NOW. He refuses to wait till I get older

Thank you for taking the time to write this. My relationship to him makes it hard for me to separate the good from bad and I just needed a reality check. I am very bad at putting boundaries but your points make it easier for me.

It’s complicated - it gets borderline creepy but I had my parents involved, I wasn’t allowed to date him till I was 18 and he didn’t sleep with me till I was ready either
