Feeling Guilty
I don't want to be Intimate with my boyfriend because I want him to take me seriously but I let my guard down because I'm attracted to him but I also care/ love him. It was one of my boundaries that I don't want him to step but I keep opening the door. And everytime we do, i feel guilty (religious reasons)

You have set a boundary for yourself regarding intimacy due to religious reasons, and you want him to take that boundary seriously. It's completely valid to have personal boundaries and to want your partner to respect them.
If you find yourself repeatedly opening the door to intimacy despite your boundary, it might be helpful to reflect on why this is happening. Is it because you feel pressured by your attraction and emotions? Are you hoping that he will take you more seriously if you engage in intimacy? Understanding your own motivations can help you address the underlying issues and work towards aligning your actions with your boundaries
I get impulsive and I know it is not good and it upsets someone who is very close and wants me to grow as I am a mental health worker and he feels he cannot trust me
