Thoughts on virginity and dating

Name withheld

Recently I had a relationship with a really good guy, who’s now my ex-boyfriend. He was a close friend of mine who is also a Christian Scientist. I felt as though God had guided me to be in a relationship with him. 

Just a few days into the relationship, I could tell something was on his mind and I wanted him to tell me. He said he didn’t want me to think less of him, but I kept nudging him, saying no matter what it was, I wanted to hear it. So he told me he’d had sex multiple times with his last girlfriend. 

Suddenly I wasn’t sure what to think. But I wanted out of the relationship. I was crushed that my boyfriend had already had sex.
