In what way is your boyfriend prudish? Your discription of his reaction to the movie scene sounds very familar to me. In your "come to Jesus" talk, was it in anger or just plain speaking. In my case, my H's perception of our conversations is that I am harsh. In other words, I hurt his male pride. While I have once or twice lost my temper and said things in a tone that I regret, usually, in my opinion, I'm trying to be gentle.
Is your bf considerate and kind in other areas of your life? Do you consider him just LD or just not very good?
I think our guys and the situation are similar? I would welcome your input into what conversations have worked and which have backfired. The difference between our situations is that I'm not dealing with any addiction issues but my guy sure knows how to find other excuses.
I'm not ready to give up yet, but the future really scares me sometimes.
