uncle_baj agony auntok,a bit of psychology for ya,u say u love each other which i dont dispute but this guy wants to have this typical lifestyle and hes makin u do it too,but he does this cos he thinks if someones doing it with him then it will justify it in his mind,and who better than his adoring girlfriend who wont say no cos u 'love' each other,this is an early form of control and even bullying,id walk away while u can cos it will only get worse x

A Cappella agony auntNo one who loves and respects you would ever try to get you to do something you don't want to do. If he can't respect your boundaries, he won't respect you. Dump him and move on. Seriously.

Holding to your ethic is the best thing you can ever do for your self confidence. And self confidence is SEXY, believe me. You'll find someone worth being with, don't worry. (Preferably someone who doesn't smoke, yuck, or lie about smoking, warming!, or push you into something you're not ready to do!) You'll only have your "first time" once. Don't waste it on someone who clearly doesn't respect you.

Good luck hon.

You dont love him. He doesnt love you. It already sounds like you have low-selfesteem, which is why you're clinging on to him.

You need to break up with him. You need to develop self-confidence (read some books on developing self-esteem, they worked for me). Then you can find a boyfriend who wont force you to smoke or have sex with him.

Sweetie, you might love him but he doesn't love you. If he did he wouldn't make you do things you didn't want to do. Especially have sex! He'd be respectful to you and your feelings.

I don't think talking to him would do much since he says he won't do these things and then does the same thing over.

It's up to you what you do but if that were me, I certainly wouldn't stand for that.

Good luck. x

He doesn't love you if he makes you do things you really don't want to do. That's not love. He's using you.
