If you love him, you're going to have to work with him.

Relationships are about compromise. You need to decide what's more important to you, without shutting out the other completely.

If he's with you, it means he tolerates what you believe to a point. That point to me seems to be participation. My ex loved 3-Oh-3, and I was fine with it, but god help her if she ever tried to get me to go to one of their concerts.

I can't really tell you what to do exactly. Sit down with him, and talk things over.

Also, the abstaining from sex thing is not something you want to force on him. If you do, it might cause him to leave. I know it sounds harsh, but it's not really his fault in that situation.

Often I lie wide awake, thinking of things I could make.
But I don’t seem to have the parts to build them.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end, for I am not prepared.
I hope I will get the chance to be someone, to be human.
