Which is it?

Quote From: gracielulu

I'm in love with my boyfriend & he's pushing the same thing on me. Really pushing. I love everything else about him. But, I would think if he truly cares about me & loves me then he wouldn't push it. He also pushes unprotected sex. He could say the same thing about me. Now he wants to take porn photos of me. I'm compromising my integrity by agreeing to these things I don't agree with. I'm losing self-respect. I want to be flexible and not a prude. But, I guess this could be the obstacle that allows us to move ahead. I haven't found anyone else that I've felt so comfortable with in my life. And now this...

You say you are so comfortable with him; you also said he's asking you to do things that compromise your integrity, so he is making you uncomfortable. Right? 

  

 Never ever take a picture you wouldn't want your grandma to see. If he decides to be your ex-boyfriend, you might find yourself on the Internet in an unflattering way. 

  

 You are not being a prude by protecting yourself from potential harm be it physical or psychological. Losing your self-respect is one way an abuser gets a hold on a person. It's a slippery slope. Don't start sliding. 

  

Be true to yourself and your values. If he really loves you he'll stay with you. If he doesn't love you he is likely to leave no matter what you do.
