Yes, I agree that he seems to be saying - I'll have bits a, b and c of the marriage - suits me to be part of those. I don't want x, y or z though. Partial marriage.
As others have said, do what works for you and try not to worry too much about how he is going to amuse himself over the festive season..
Take care my friend xx
