Dear MizzB
I have been dating my boyfriend for seven years and we have not been sexually active. He respects my decision to abstain from sex.
He has since moved out of his home but whenever he visits me he puts pressure on me to have sex. He says he wants to have sex so that our relationship can become stronger. But I am not ready to have sex.
Am I wasting my time with him?

Dear Concerned
Having such values is a great sign and shows strength of character.
It is very important at this stage of the relationship that the two of you sit down to evaluate where the relationship is going. It’s also important to note that relationships change as we grow. What do you want for yourself, and does this relationship still meet your needs? You must always remember that you are responsible for the choices you make in life.
