Boyfriend Has Proposed, But...
Posted: 09-20-06 07:51am

Dear all:

i have been seeing this guy for over a year. We got along quite well and I really think that he is the right one. He is 32 and I am 28. We have reached the point where we are financially and mentally prepare for the next stage of life. Recently he has proposed to me, but I am really not sure what to do because..

My guy has premature ejaculation. This issue has been bothering us since early stage of relationship. We do not stay together, and I am his first sexual partner. Occasionally we tried to get intimate at my place or where we were away for holiday. He always ejaculated early before "entering". Needless to say it was very frustrating.

However i've always give him a smiling face, telling him never mind, and calm him down. I knew it is not something he wanted and thus I really take care of his feelings. I gentled suggested that we went to see doc but he said he would see what he can do before goin to the doc. He tried some self-help methods( like taking nutritional supplements and start-stop method) but it didn't help. The problem is still there.

Now he has proposed, I really do not know wat to do. Yeah I love him and really think that he is the one for me. However I do not believe in marriage without sex. If this problem persists I do not see that our marriage will work out. I knew this because at times I am really depressed as my needs are not fulfilled. He is not too keen in seeking a solution either. As mentioned, I love him, the last thing I want to do is to upset him and force him to do something he does not want to.

Please help!! :(

Well if he wants to get married to you he has to do something.You cannot go on feeling the way you do because it will only get worss and you will start resenting him for it.Tell him what you just said here.You love him and think everyhting is perfect outside of teh fact that ejaculates too soon. Tell him he needs to go to the doctor or find some way to work it out.

Well, if he's not wanting to seek help with this and unable to come to some agreement with you as to what to do, what else will he be unwilling to do in the marriage? I COULD SEE THINGS GETTING FRUSTRATING..YOU KNOW? If he truly loves you and wants to marry you then whatever is important to you should be important to him. Sex is a part of a normal healthy marriage and if that is important to you then it should be for him as well. IMHO.

very nicely sit him down. Tell him he excites you very much. Build him up, and then tell him we need to work on this so we both are content. He loves you so he will want to make you happy. Not only do you need a good sex life in marriage you need communication too. Looks like this is a good time to start!

He Proposed... !!!

as you can tell from my first answer, i'm a no-nonsense man. i don't believe in putting things off. you need to share with him everyone's opinions that you've read here. THEN if he STILL doesn't care enough about EITHER ONE of you to go to a urologist and seek answers, walk away and FIND SOMEONE who WILL CARE about the both of you. i'm talking from experience so i do know what i'm saying.
