Am I overreacting?

I know I’m probably overreacting like crazy but lately I’ve been so depressed and..my boyfriend and I got really s*xual with each other these past two days and it fixed me , I’ve been focusing better in uni and feeling a lot better about myself. I’ve always felt so bad about how I get needy for him and he always encourages my mood and makes me feel so loved in bed and I love it. So I asked could we do it tonight and he says he doesn’t want me to get an obsession. That just rubbed me the wrong way..I thought he would be happy knowing I’m more confident about asking for affection and s*x but I’m not so sure anymore am I being selfish..?

It actually seems he cares about you.
Speak to him, tell him exactly what you told here. There are more ways showing affection rather than sex.

I completely agree it’s been so hard for us to finally do that and it’s once a month really I guess maybe I was too “in his face”. Thank you so much-

Sounds to me that he's using sex to control your relationship.
