So I have a problem, I've been with my boyfriend for nearly a year now and though we love eachother very much we can never agree on a thing and we have such different morals.

I am studying Photography and as a part of my course I have to undertake a life drawing class. Now surprise surprise, my boyfriend's not too happy.. infact it's worse then that.. he's not happy at all. He considers the fact that I've seen someone else naked is cheating. However I don't agree in the circumstances.. it is an appreciation for the human body of course and it's in a class of like 40 people and there's no feeling's involved whatsoever.. so I'm having a hard time trying to make him see things the way I do.

So what do you think.. Is participating in a life drawing class cheating?

Good thing is he hasn't made you choose yet. You just need to calm him down a bit. What have you said to try and reason with him? And what has he said in response?

I don't think he would ever choose really. But it's just frustrating because our morals don't exactly fit..they're getting there but not fully there yet.

I've tried to tell him how I feel and that.. like how it's just a class and I tried not to look and the drawings are just simple, not detailed pieces and that but he still is hurt by it. He hasn't really said much.. but that's just it.. he hasn't really said much. I mean he did say that I had a choice and I didn't have to do it (which I did) but then he meantioned that I didn't ask to get out of it (true, but I'm an artsy person and I do enjoy this sort of thing really.. I don't know if I want to be excluded), he basically just meantions that he wouldn't have done the same thing to me.
