Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old male and I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for the past four years. After a month of dating, she told me that she is a virgin and not open to intercourse. Later, in the relationship, she mentioned that we can involve in intercourse only after the wedding. She was 21 years old when I met her and is now 25. Even after four years, she is still not ready to involve in intercourse or a wedding with me as she wants to focus on her career, which means I would have to wait five more years without any sexual activity, which makes a total of nine years. I was fully sexually active before I met her and have stood by her all these years faithfully. We do involve in close intimacy which ends up with me being rejected for 80 percent.

I am completely frustrated trying to convince her, which is negatively affecting me. She is overall a great person, and I would like to marry her right now, but she would like us to marry after 30. It is a long wait with frustration. I understand that a marriage is not intended only for intercourse, but it is vital for me currently even before marriage. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I can understand that it would have been difficult for you to deal with it. It is your age wanting to involve in intercourse, and every relationship needs it.

I suggest you ask your partner directly about it and solve the issue. If she is ready to get married, then she would not have any issues.

You both can get married in a court (a legal marriage) without informing others and then go for a traditional marriage after four to five years so that your partner will have time for her career. Remember that you can not force her to involve in intercourse.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
