- You seem to be hitting a case of someone being some mix of scared out
- of their mind at intimacy that's physical/sexual/carnal, and very
- concerned to behave in a way that allows them to continue to believe
- that they are being a good catholic. (diagnosis modulo being filtered
- through your brain, my brain, and the net.)
-
- The first part probably relates to the second - if he can't marry you,
- he can't have sexual thoughts about you, it wouldn't be 'right'.
- So what I would sugguest is to find your local theoretical theologian
- (there's at least one in any diocese office/cathedral) and explain
- your situation to them. (I'm assuming that you want to marry this
- guy?) Anyway, this person might well be able to produce a mechanism
- to continue being a good catholic and still get married.
-
- The other thing to hope for is that this fellow's world view will
- undergo change as he matures. Five years later, I am embarrassed
- to remember how stupid I was when I was 21. The question is if
- the world view will change in your favour, really - it's going to
- change somehow.
-
- Have you tried kissing him with passion? Might ratchet up the
- honesty level on the subject in question.
