I was having a hard 15 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: time keeping my hands to myself when I was around him, 16 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: so I decided we would have sex. He is very spiritual, 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: so we prayed before we had sex the first time. 18 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 4: Then we started getting freaky. 19 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: There is no way that this man can be quote 20 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: saved and make love the way he does and use 21 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: all of the. 22 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 4: Filthy language he uses. 23 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I thought he was happy to be getting so at first, 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: because he immediately started yelling profanity as loud as he could. 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: I've been told I am excellent in bed, but he 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: showed out too. Afterwards. I told him I like the 27 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: dirty talk, but not that dirty. I've never heard him 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: utter a curse word until we're having sex. It's his thing, 29 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: and I have tried to get used to it, but 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: I can't. We've been in a relationship for eight months, 31 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: and each time we have sex he acts like it 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: was better than the last time, and he uses new 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: curse words and strings them together to get his point across. 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: When I try to talk to him about his dirty mouth, 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: he suggests that we go back to being celibate. I 36 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: want to keep having sex, but I want him to 37 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: replace the cursing with soft. 38 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 4: Moans and groans. 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: He's talking about marriage, but I need him to stop 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: cursing during sex first. How do I fix this? Well, 41 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: there's no way you're going to be able to fix this. 42 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: This is not going to happen. He's not going to 43 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: stop cursing during sex. You said it in the letter. 44 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: That's his thing, and he proves it. Every time you 45 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: guys get together. He's yelling and cursing while you're having sex. 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: That's where he lets it all out in bed. That's 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: his release. Okay, he spends the rest of the time. 48 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: I guess being a good Christian and not cursing, but 49 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: thinking up new cursing combinations, like you said. But here 50 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: you go trying to change him. It's been eight months. 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: This is who he is, ma'am. He's not trying to 52 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: change for you. You've told him how you feel, and 53 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: you keep having sex with him. Okay, he said, you 54 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: guys could go back to being celibate. 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 4: But you no, you don't want that. 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: So it's either keep going with his over the top 57 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: dirty talk or no sex.
