my boyfriend and i were together for a year and we both lost our virginities to another. after a while it was getting hard to talk because if i felt like he wasnt doing something then i wouldnt tell him because i thought he would hate me. but then a month ago we broke up and i almost fell into the sex trap with one of my friends. i dated him for 2 weeks then ended it. only 2 days later did i go back out with my boyfriend and we seem to both want to keep abstinence.
