So I feel very ashamed of saying this but me and my boyfriend had sex and well I got super attached to him and I honestly don’t know if that’s normal … it’s been so hard for us to stop … he is someone I eventually want to marry …

It’s normal to get attached to the person you’re sleeping with. That’s one reason it should only happen in marriage.

How old are the two of you?
 
Got it. So you’re old enough that discerning marriage is a real possibility.

I guess I’d say this: if this guy is worth marrying, he’s going to respect your faith. Tell him that you don’t want to have sex anymore outside of marriage. If he’s a good guy, he’ll respect that. If he doesn’t, then he was just interested in the sex.

Just my thoughts. Talk to your priest too.
 
Have you had a friend where you and all of your friends in common KNOW the romantic interest of your friend is bad for them, yet, the friend cannot see the problems, completely denies them? That is science.

God created the marital act to develop an actual hormonal bond to their spouse. The same hormones are released to bond parent to child, and to a lesser degree to our pets. Sexual arousal and orgam are the jackpot of Oxytocin release.

So, yep, it is actually physically difficult for you to stop once you begin a sexual relationship.

If you have been with him for 2 months, I’d give it a month of zero contact (no calls, texts, in person talks) for a month to let the hormone bond to be removed.

Have the two of you seriously discussed this to the point this is a mutual desire? If so, why not act on it and marry? If not, then you really need to bring this up as a serious topic.
 
Yes we have ! We’re actually both Catholic … the reason why we don’t start the marriage process is because he goes to school and he still has 3 years left and nursing school is pretty expensive … and well he’s not really financially stabled
 
Well, that’s a decision you must make together. I will say my wife and I were both in post-grad studies when we married, and, although difficult, made it word.

If, as you originally stated, it is causing you shame and you both know it is immoral, you know you need to put the brakes on it. Physical intimacy does physically and emotionally create bonds. My only suggestion is to find the necessary steps to avoid the temptation. Whether it be not being alone together or avoiding the type of contact that encourages intimacy, etc… difficult at first, sure, but the more you do, the easier and more natural it will become.
 
Married people attend and graduate from nursing school every day.
he still has 3 years left and nursing school is pretty expensive
Does this mean you will delay marriage until student loans are paid off?
 
You should go to confession as soon as possible and confess this sin, making a firm purpose of amendment. If your friend is Catholic, encourage him to do the same. You get grace from the sacrament to avoid sin. That’s the best remedy.
