I’m not ready for our relationship to be physical
My boyfriend and I are studying overseas and we stay in the same house. We have separate rooms, but sharing a house still means being near each other a lot. I feel quite uneasy with his touchiness sometimes. I’m not thoroughly ready for our relationship to be physical because of my past experiences with guys, bad experiences. How do I make it clear to him that I’m uncomfortable and yet not hurt his feelings at the same time?
answer:
By telling him what you told me, dear. You have the right to decide when the relationship becomes physical. But spare a thought for him — after all, he’s a mere man and you’re sleeping under the same roof. It’s probably driving him mad! At the same time it’s your body and your mind. He has to accept that only you can decide when you’re ready to take the next step. If he doesn’t understand that, well, that’s a whole other issue.
