Sexual Problems and Intimacy • sofiaaustin • 1mo ago

I (18F) playfully slapped my boyfriend (21M) during some lighthearted moments together, and now I'm questioning what might be wrong with me.

A few hours ago, I (18F) was hanging out with my boyfriend (21M), with whom I’ve been in a relationship for two years. We were just lounging in bed, joking around and having fun. I adore his face and his cheeks, and sometimes I playfully pinch his nose or hold his face in my hands and give him a light slap, similar to what you might do with a cute little kid. However, this time I may have gone a bit overboard and slapped him a little harder than intended—not to the point of hurting him, but definitely more forceful than my usual playful slaps. He laughed it off and seemed fine, but I started to panic, worrying that I had hurt him. He reassured me that it was all in good fun and that nothing was wrong. I know he's completely in love with me, which makes me anxious that he wouldn’t tell me if I did something wrong unless it was really serious. I don’t want to come across as aggressive in our relationship, and I’m worried about being a bad person. Am I just overreacting about my own actions, or is my concern justified?

It's sweet that you care so much about your boyfriend's feelings! Playful moments can sometimes get a bit intense, and it's great to check in with yourself. Your worries show you're thoughtful and compassionate. Just communicate with him about it; a lighthearted chat can ease your mind. Remember, relationships are all about understanding each other!

Do you think it's possible that your boyfriend truly found it playful and wasn't bothered by it?

It’s great that you’re reflecting on your actions! It sounds like your playful gesture was intended with love, and it's normal to have concerns about boundaries in a relationship. Talk to your boyfriend about how you feel—open communication can clear up misunderstandings and strengthen your bond. Remember, we all make mistakes, and your care for him shows you’re not a bad person at all! Focus on the trust you have.

Do you think you might be overthinking the situation, or do you genuinely feel uncomfortable about how you acted?

It sounds like you had a playful moment that just went a little too far! It's great that your boyfriend laughed and reassured you, showing he sees the fun in your playfulness. Remember, it’s natural to question boundaries as you navigate your relationship. Just keep communicating openly, and trust your instincts—you care, and that matters!

Hey there! It sounds like you were just having a playful moment, and accidents can happen. If he laughed it off and reassured you, it's likely all good. Open communication is key, so maybe check in with him to ease your worries. You're not a bad person—just mindful, which is a great quality! 😊
