I wanna stop sleeping with boyfriend? HELP?

My question: How then will he take it?
Okay, so you have been sleeping with him, but now suddenly you want to play virgin and wait until marriage and this has to do with religion how exactly? You already lost your virginity (I'm guessing before this guy which will make this much much worse (why him, why not with the other guys, why go 8 months of no issue to suddenly changing your mind, do you not love him, are you not sexually attracted to him, is he not good enough for you or not pleasing you during sex etc. etc. etc.), that's not coming back. Now if you wanted to start fresh BEFORE the relationship, it wouldn't have been an issue, but nearly a year in and suddenly you want to radically alter the dynamic and how you interact and take away something that had always been available before? Yeah, that's going to be an issue. Thats kind of like him saying he doesn't want to take you out, buy you flowers, or cuddle with you until marriage, why the hell would that be a thing now if he had been doing it before? I mean its your right to do it, but its going to cause some problems as it is clearly arbitrary and is happening long after the fact.
If your relationship is 'based heavily on sex' and then you stop the play... My questions would be, will it start up again? What if you change your mind and decide we are having too much? Or decide that what we did before is bad and now we need to tone it down.
In other words, I would worry that you are changing too much.
And, if you are feeding him good sex and you stop... and expect him to stop too... I don't see that as being a good thing for you two.
So, probably not too well.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!If you want to marry him, do it but I doubt he'll stick around if you're right and the relationship has its basis in sex. I suggest you keep having sex with him and find peace with that.
You gotta talk to him about this. If it’s really bothering you and he loves you, he should respect your feelings. You should really talk with him if you plan to get married to get his opinion on it. Better than being with him for years and then finding out then that he doesn’t ever want to get married.
He will be disappointed for sure! Think about it, going from a lot of the best sex of your life over almost a year to 0 sex, out from it out of nowhere. However, I don't think you could handle it yourself, because you will probably feel the urge and get back to having a lot of sex, especially that you know he would jump on you the moment he knows you're struggling to keep resisting your body needs.
I imagine it will set you on a path to breaking up, even if the relationship isn't based only on sex.
I want sex in my relationship. I don't care how much, but I do want it. Mayne try to scale back the sex a bit. Far too many people are only together because of the sex. It's good to find out if that's all you have holding you together
I'm sorry but you can't stop now once you've opened that door you can't close it plus it seems like you have a great relationship why mess it up? Have you heard of the saying if it ain't broke dont fix it
Is this really about religion? Coz it doesn't seem like your God had a problem with it these last 8 months...
Well if I were him, I would respect your decision. But, he might just want that? I dunno
He is likely to exit the relationship. He would see it as creating separation. I would.
So he is codependent. You could theoretically control and manipulate him as you please.
But because "our relationship is heavily based around sex." and you are substantially weakening the central pillar of your relationship, you might just wean him, which cold be the best thing for him before a binding marital commitment lessens his options.
He probably won't be happy about it. Why not just ask to slow it down and not do it so much instead of stopping entirely?
So he's using you for sex and you wanna be valued for something more, it's not uncommon
No it’s not as bad as I make it sound. We both enjoy sex but I recently had an epiphany that I want to become celibate
A sexless relationship, is not a relationship
That's a friendship, with a relationship label. GET OVER IT
That ship has already sailed.
That horse is already out of the barn.
That bridge has already burned down.
That steak has already been eaten.
If you reject him now it will not end well. I guarantee it.
If you feel guilty or embarassed for sex out of wedlock, then just get married. Buy a license, appear before a judge.
Marriage isn't about the ceremony, or the reception, it's about the moral covenant under god.
And the more you spend on the wedding the higher the chance it will fail.
Do you have to stop completely? Why not make a gradual change?
If you want to stop then stop. It's your choice, you do whatever you want
As u are talking about it looks like more friends with benefits then commitment for more
I wouldn't wait till marriage sorry.
TOO LATE sinner
I would leave her if she cut me off.
Why?
