My boyfriend is a born-again Christian?

My boyfriend is a born again Christian and says that he shouldn't have sex before marriage. We often get intimate, then he feels guilty and tells me that he thinks we should just be friends. A day or so later he calls me up again and the whole thing starts again. I feel like I am addicted and it is worrying me. He has an addictive personality and I wonder if I am starting to behave like him even though I have no history of addiction to anything (except cakes :)

  • I am one as well.

    Scripture admonishes "fornication", literally, fvcking outside marriage. It is totally mute on bases 1-3 except Song Of Solomon, which describes young love in fair detail.

    Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

    A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

    Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green

    I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste

    Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

    Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

    Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

    I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

    His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

    How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

    Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

    Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

    How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

    This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

    And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing

    the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

    I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

    His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

    I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

  • As the anonymous said, Christian scripture just says you can't have sex before marriage( as in penetration), but everything else is game. You can still mess around... and hey maybe you'll find that loving someone because you love them is enough for a little bit without having to !@#$ them.

  • Don't let him get to you. I dated a born again christian one time in my life, well he was atheist when I met him. Then he decided he was going to go back to god and I thought to myself "what could possibly go wrong? I mean a lot of people believe in god." I was so totally wrong, he tried to enforce his believes on me and insult other forms of Christianity such as Catholicism. We would get in explosive fights and it would hurt me. Look born again Christians are usually extremists when it comes to their beliefs and don't understand or care when they hurt others. They just want everyone to believe the same thing as them unlike the average Christian person who is more accepting. So I suggest you get out of there fast before he hurts you anymore.

    • Thanks for your comments. Yes, I think this is more like what I am going through. I feel confused and that he is a total asshole sometimes but I had no idea what I really wanted I realized that I want to be with someone who has more integrity and that I need to be that also. He is just an a-hole with no guts. I asked him if he thought it was okay for us to see other people. He said, if you want to, that's OK. I felt awful. A warning to women out there. Try not to fall for repressed men!

  • Tell him he can ask for forgiveness later, as long as he doesn't die while you're doing it, he is A-okay!

  • Born again Christians are such a joke. After they've already done things against the christian faith, suddenly they want to not do it? "oh ya, I've totally experienced it already, but now that I've enjoyed myself, I SHALL BE A WOMAN/MAN OF FAITH!" right...

    As for your situation, I'm not sure what your problem is. If he's not wanting to go further, well, oh well. Don't. If he can't control himself, that's his problem, not yours.

    • True.

  • If you like this roller coaster life, stay with him. You might be better off letting him go.

  • The first sentence tells me he's a weirdo! Fag!

    • That's not very nice. C'mon now!
