My(25F)bf(24m) and I have been together for a year and some change. Due to personal reasons, a few weeks ago I told him I wanted to stop having sex and wait until marriage. I told him that whatever he decided wether it be to stay with me or not I understood. He told me he wasn’t okay with it but he said he going to stick with it for me because he said I’m the only person he wants to do it with.
Since then we’ve barley talked but we’ve been around each other all day everyday for about a month. The most we’ve talked was when we were around his family because of the holiday. Even then it’s limited conversation. As soon as we got back on the road to head home it was silence again. I understand that he could be having a hard time with it. I’m not sure what to do. He’s not talking to me about how he feels. He’s pretty reserved anyway but we’ve agreed for this to be a time where we build more non sexual intimacy. I don’t want to be pushy.
It’s in the back of my mind that he doesn’t want to be alone so he’s just here.
TLRD: I wanted to stop having sex with bf now he’s not talking but is still around.
