Is it normal for me to not want my boyfriend to touch me in public?

Him writing off your concerns as "not a big deal" is a sign that he doesn't respect your opinion. If he doesn't straighten up and fly right soon, I don't think it would be a good idea to continue this relationship any further, as it will likely only get worse.

that is disrespectful maybe hes to young and dumb

I want you to be very aware that he is just showing you off. I'm guessing he's very young and immature. Guys who do this are making it known to everyone else that he's got a set of titts he can squeeze. Real men don't do this. I wouldn't say at this point that it's dumping grounds, but he is disrespecting you, slap this boy straight before he sets off on the wrong path in life.

Your thoughts are justified, he should respect your opinion and not write it off as if it means nothing. If he is continuing to do this after you have repeatedly told him that you don't want him to do it, you need to leave him. He isn't respecting you and things could get ugly, so find someone that repsects you. Also, a big red flag, is that he treats you much differntly when you two are alone then when you two are around people. It is never a good sign. I hope that you get out of that relationship before it gets really bad.

Agree with above posters ^^^

Agree with Charmo. He doesn't respect your opinion and that isn't good.

It is disrespectful that he refuses to put your feelings and privacy in consideration.

I think this relationship could become very toxic if he refuses to change.

This is perfectly normal. He should not be grabbing your tits or crotch in public. this is the same as tossing you on a coffee table at Starbucks and fucking you. This is not right and this is harassment. You should tell him to quit and if he continues I would end it with him. If he does stuff like this now it is probobly going to escalate. Since he obviously has no manners and does not respect personal space. He sounds like a pig and you deserve better. Tell him to learn some fucking manners.

He definitely doesn't respect you.

If I saw someone doing that kind of grabbing in public, my first thought is sexual harrassment, not affection. :/

Maybe he wants to bang you ?

Sounds disrespectful and immature :/

He needs to respect your rights to your body... You need to make it clear to him that touching you is a privilege, not a right.

If my bf touched my crotch or breasts in front of other people I would be extremely embarrassed as well. That's a private act and other people don't want to see us feeling each other up... It's really odd that he doesn't see this...

He is 23 and I am 19, if that matters at all.
