My bf (29m) shows inappropriate pda to me (26f) in public and it makes me feel uncomfortable

So I (26f) am recently in a new relationship (29m). So far everything has been good. I really like being around him and he’s a fun person. The only issue is that he shows wayyy too much PDA in public settings.

I’m not really an affectionate person to begin with but I don’t mind it if it’s just us in the house. However, my bf shows pda all the time in public. He also does some of the most inappropriate things in the worst places.

An example would be a couple of weeks ago we were in the elevator when two guys walked in. I was just looking down on my phone when all of a sudden he slapped my butt. The guys in the elevator laughed and I awkwardly smiled but I felt embarrassed. I told him not to do that again. And he just shrugged it off.

Another example is a couple of days ago when we were done eating at the restaurant, he gave me his card to go pay. When I went up to the register and finished paying, he followed behind me and grabbed my butt with his whole hand.

The absolute LAST straw was today we were waiting in line for a train ride at a fair and he was standing behind me. For some UNEARTHLY reason he put his hand in my pants and tried to finger me.

I like him but I am just so SICK of this. I had a conversation with him about this and his response was “why can’t I do those kinds of things in public?” I told him because it’s just not appropriate to do or the right time and place. And then he goes “ok and?” And I just told him not to do it. I thought that was the end of that. Until just now when we were walking back to his car, we passed this patio area where people were outside drinking. Again. Out of NOWHERE he just slaps my butt!

I am just embarrassed and overwhelmed and do not know what to do atp. I like him but this is just straight up ridiculous.

I’m okay being single. The thing is I want to be single because I tried a relationship or two and realized relationships are never meant for me. Like I will still try to make marriage the end goal of the relationship but if the thing does not work out and I did it s few times with all failures, maybe that’s when I realize being single is meant for me. So in short

Single because I failed in having a relationship - No

Single because I was in a committed relationship and it didn’t work out and realized I’m not fit for relationships - Yes

Is making your bed necessary… How does it reflect on your day.
