Q: Male, 25
My girlfriend keeps trying to push me into sexual things I'm not comfortable with. When I say no, she asks what kind of guy I am and such.
How do I get her to respect my decisions and not end up fighting as a result about it?

I agree with the other columnists. It is very disrespectful of her to ask you what kind of guy you are. Some girls are controlling and resort to wining and fighting to get their way- it seems she is being the same. I see her comments as insulting, and I can see why you feel offended.
Does she fight over other things as well, or just about this? If you see a pattern in her behavior, then you will need to ask yourself if a relationship with her is worthwhile. You have to be firm with her, and let her know exactly how you feel. What you want is for her to respect your decisions- that is exactly how you have to explain it to her. You shouldn't delve into anything, just say something like, you need her to respect your personal decisions. She might start to yell and get angry- which is a sign of her insecurity and disrespect. What you do is up to you, but first you have to set things straight with her. If she cannot accept you for who you are, then a relationship with her (should be) unacceptable.

Sadly, this is not the only thing we've ever bickered about that she's felt meant she could insult me. Although in those cases, it's insults on my character, not my manhood.
I've often thought in the lines you've mentioned, and I thank you for that.

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.
I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
