"Maybe He's Scared of Commitment"

A Reader Responds:

I disagree simply because I am like your boyfriend. I am currently dating someone who is not of my religion. I do wonder if we are taking about the same religion! Anyway being in your boyfriends shoes I don't think it has at all anything to do with him not wanting a solid relationship with you. It sounds like he was solid in his faith to be celibate, then met you and starting having strong feelings for you. Strong enough feelings to make him stray from his faithful path to take a path of love and intimacy with you.

I would know because that is what I did. Let me tell you your boyfriend is very scared because he probably has followed his faith for almost all his life. It scared him that he has done such a thing that is considered "not right". He's probably afraid all the people around him will disown him or put him down. So that's why he's playing tug of war right now, with having sex and with and his religion. I know exactly what he is going through right now and the best advice I could give you is stick it out with him.

If he decides to put an end to the sex, he needs to know you'll understand and that you'll be there for him. A relationship can last w/o sex although it will be a very tuff adjustment considering you have already dun it. If you want to make it work you will! Just really try and understand that your boyfriend has gone against the grain of what he has been taught and he is very scared.

Very scared!
