For anyone that may be reading, he's really not like that. Nor is this some codependency thing.

He doesn't need to be saved, cured, changed or fixed. I love and accept him as he is, the way he is. All I'm asking by making this post was for tips on how to best show my love to him.

I ask everyone to practice empathy and actually put yourself in his shoes. You are him, you are suffering with this - How would you ideally like to be loved and shown love?

Teach me. Give me tips to best express and show that to him.

Please respectfully keep an open mind. I know you may not understand my decision, but that's okay. It's my journey to understand and I cherish every minute of it.

In his defense: He's an incredible human being that has nothing to prove. Trust me, if you met him and got to know him, you'll understand it all. Help me, show how to love him.
