You're correct, and I'm not taking it lightly. That's why I've pressed this point with him. This is why I'm no longer wearing the engagement ring. This is why I'm going to a therapist who lives 3 hours away. It's also why I wouldn't marry him 6 months ago like he wanted. I thought it was too big of an issue to just "get married now and try to work it out later".
I'm also not giving up yet, although I feel like I'm very close to it. We'll just have to see what the next few weeks bring.
