My (M27) gf (F26) and I are sexually attracted to each other, but her faith is the most important thing to her so she doesn't want to have sex before marriage. I am not religious (though she's trying her hardest to change that and I have been open to exploring...) and do not have any hesitancies about sex aside from avoiding a pregnancy. The trouble lies that we have had sex a number of times and each time it is mostly enjoyable but then when I orgasm, even though I wear a condom and pull out before actually ejaculating, she has a panic/shame/guilt attack in the moment and a mild on edge vibe until she gets her next period. This has happened now maybe 4 times over the last year. I know this is going to happen and try to avoid sex and the meltdown, but she often is initiating the sex on the pretense of just getting a little handsy. I inevitably give in because I actually very much want sex but then have to deal with being the enabler. If I do resist successfully then she is also unhappy because she feels like I am not interested in her. It's a mess.

Bottom line is I am a patient person who is trying hard to make things work, but I am also a very sexual person that wants sex at least once a week and I am getting intimacy maybe once every few months. I am at the point where I am tempted to seek out sex elsewhere because I am not getting satisfied and I don't really want to have sex and immediately have to console and apologize for what I just did. I know cheating will be exciting but it is bad and will only result in pain for us both.

There are other issues that divide us as well. Faith has a hand in it for sure. Our personalities and hobbies have a lot that lines up but also a hell of a lot that is at odds. I love her at the end of the day and want her to be happy but I don't know how much of my desires or even happiness I should put aside just to make things work with her.

Thoughts?
