So if you're dating someone that you know for sure isn't cheating on you but you go from doing everything but sex to nothing at all and not even sleeping in the same room, because "god said not to". how does that make sense and how can one address it?

I'd say talk to your partner about it honestly. If you've been together for awhile and you're more comfortable together, maybe you can be a little more blunt than if it were a new relationship. Either way, it's gotta be asked - such a sudden reversal is curious indeed.

I brought it up and the reply was just that "if we had done what was right by HIM in the first place than it wouldn't be this way, and if I was closer to god this wouldn't matter" it just seems to be creating uneeded tension between us when originally we could talk about everything. maybe it's just me?

This is why religion stinks. It further limits your needs/wants than it needs to. I know people who'd rather die, than have someone's else organ transplanted or take a medicine that will cure them of a serious health risk... it's sad..
Off of my Anti-Religion..
It almost sounds like an excuse.. or some unforeseen fear or something along those lines.

that's what i thought but i asked about possible commitment issues and it just led to "if we work it's because HE wants it to, not my decision" which makes no sense when you have to commit to the relationship and Making it work.. confused

Neil Dark Overlord that's what i thought but i asked about possible commitment issues and it just led to "if we work it's because HE wants it to, not my decision" which makes no sense when you have to commit to the relationship and Making it work.. confused My personal opinion is that all of these are huge warning signs. I would think about leaving if I were you, but again, it's just my opinion. I have very mixed feelings on religion. I don't think it is an overall bad thing but I think some people go overboard with it and that is what it sounds like this person is doing. I think there is a difference in having faith in God, and relying totally on God to run your life. I think the latter is very unhealthy. If someone wants to make a relationship work, they have to put forth the effort themselves. They have to care enough to make it work, and not rely on anyone else, whether that someone else is a spiritual being or not. It sounds to me like this person does not care and that they are too preoccupied with their religion to care about their relationship. If that is what they want in life then I suppose it is their business, but it's unfair to you if you stay in this relationship and try to make it work and they put forth no effort to do so.

I find it worrisome that it was so sudden. Are you sure there were no indications of something like this happening?

no, warnings. just a random text to my phone while i was working about how "what we're doing is wrong and should never happen again". no offence to anyone but isn't it only a sin if you actaully SLEEP together or mess with someone else while you're with them?? I mean, if we've lived together and slept in the same bed for 5 months then all of the sudden "it's wrong". if something was going to happen it would of...i would leave but i have no where to go and i'd rather not reside in the same reisidence if we broke up..
i'm sooooo stressed because of this situation but i'm commited to working trough things.. cry

Maybe you should start asking him if everything is alright? Because honestly it sounds like he is just using religion as an excuse to cover something. And no it isn't a sin to sleep next to anybody. confused
So yeah, just try to see if there's something bothering him or anything strange. Best of luck to you! heart
