[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I didn’t sleep together until marriage. We were both super into each other and got married in less than a year. That part of our marriage is really great now. We are religious, so waiting seemed valuable to us,  and our church has premarital classes to go through, so it felt like the relationship was progressing.

I’m wondering if going to a couples counselor would give you that same sense of making progress. You’d be able to get a good sense of whether this is him having good boundaries around one issue, or whether he needs control more generally. For example, if he was an alcoholic, and he didn’t want to be around alcohol, everyone would accept that. Why was sex that important to him? What will happen once you get married? Is he a once a week guy, a three times a day guy, or somewhere in the middle?

I think it’s sweet that he wants to wait, but if you’re not fully on board, that’s really hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this. If you can see marrying him, I’d get counseling. Even if you end up breaking up, you’ll have learned from the process. [/quote]
