Appearantly, he agrees with the religious teachings of his youth, but chooses not to abide by them. When I think about how I would feel if I was living in opposition to my values and beliefs, I know that I would feel little self-worth. As a result, I think I need to let him continue to cause himself harm. But I'll be damned if I'm going to be part of his destructive behaviors. lol

I like you.

Cara, you certainly seem to have your head on straight. My views are like a mirror image of mine. I sure hope you two can sort this out. And I also agree that taking a break from sex is a good idea. I just meant that maybe you didn't want to trash the entire relationship over this. Keep us posted, eh?
