AITAH For reducing intimacy after GF suddenly wants to wait until we're married to have sex.
My GF and I have been dating for about a year and a half. We've been having sex for about a year.
A few weeks ago she stated that, while this will be difficult for her due to her high sex drive, that she will no longer have sex until we're married. Her reasoning is that she feels horrible for having sex as she's a Christian. I completely understand this.
She loves making out, cuddling, and dancing (grinding). I am no longer comfortable with doing the above 3 with her. It's difficult enough not to have sex, but doing the above 3 makes it more difficult.
I recently told her that I am no longer okay with doing those there and that I'm fine with holding each other's hands and hugging. I am more than happy to do the above 3 once married. This made her extremely upset, but she eventually accepted it.
I feel like an AH as it's essentially "if we can't have sex before marriage, you can't get what you want before marriage." I'm trying to reduce my desires through reducing physical touch that i deem sexual. But the lack of intimacy also makes it feel like we're friends, not BF & GF.
Ps, yes-I know that I can just leave and move on. But, we do have a ton in common and enjoy each other's company. I'd hate to throw away a relationship over once issue.
