These are never easy situations because people can be complex. If you love this man, then you owe it to each other to be honest with each other. He might be more open to being submissive顺从 — willing to obey than you know. Perhaps that is why he enjoys bathing you and why he is so respectful to women. His challenge will be to overcome his upbringing and his culture. He may have to decide if he can reconcile your needs with his upbringing. Many relationships have been ended due to incompatible cultures and belief systems. In order for such a relationship to work, it takes one person to compromise their beliefs. Are you willing? Is he willing to do that for you? If not, is he worthy of you?

This is a tough question, I know. This is why it is always easier to marry someone who shares your belief system. The best you can do is to be open and honest with each other. I am a believer that the worse thing you can do is to deny yourself in order to conform to what someone else wants you to be. That might make you happy in the short-term, but what about the long-term? I pray that God will give you wisdom. You are a lovely woman and I wish you nothing but the best.
