This is a bit of a rant, I suppose, about my recent choice for my spiritual health.<br><br>
I have always felt that being intimate before marriage wasn't quite right, but have always gone along with it for fear of being rejected, but it's not like I've "been around the block"; only with the guy I intend to marry. Well, due to some recent soul-searching, I've decided that the best thing for my self esteem and spirituality is to become celibate until that great day arrives. This was all fine and dandy, at least until the time came to prove to my SO that I meant to stick to my moral code. He tried everything he could think of, and it didn't work. Now I am being bombarded with things like "I was taught not to buy things till I tried em out," "You never had a problem before, what's wrong now?," and "We didn't even *have* to get married before you lost interest in me." I think that I made a wonderful and safe choice for myself and for our relationship, but he obviously thinks otherwise.<br><br>
Anyone with similar experiences? Please share.
