Waiting until marriage to consummate the relationship (or have s^x at all!) sounds like a really special, romantic way to start a relationship. It’s the kind of thing you used to see in movies back in the day. Awwww…

However, what happens when this thing called “reality” sets in and you realize that you’ll be having s^x with somebody you’ve either never had s^x with before OR having s^x with somebody who has literally never done it.

Yeah, apparently that reality sucks, as the following 17 people will attest.

17. It can be make or break a relationship. Definitely.

So yeah, if you’re thinking about waiting… make sure you talk with your SO beforehand and make sure everybody is on the same page.

Otherwise, life could end up sucking, and not in the good way. ?
