He's not going to view it as selfish if it's a morality issue.

he is seemingly refusing to view it in any other way than his own. but then its how he was raised so that cant really be held against him either..

So he cant support your intrests?
Why dont you just try reasoning with him. Ask him why he cant support your intrests. Tell him it would mean the world to you. If he doesent give in and acknowlage that your taking that class no matter what, just give him time to think things through, and no, I dont think its cheating. |

Absolutely not!
You're merely observing the human body which happens to be nude. What's the problem in that? You're doing it for the sake of art. As long as you're not sleeping or doing something similar with the model, then your boyfriend is just overreacting. No offense, but he's being really stupid about it. I'd bitch-slap him silly. Go talk to him and tell him that he's blowing the whole thing way out of proportion. |

relationships are all about sacrifice..
 you're either gonna have to sacrifice your class or he's gonna have to sacrifice his "traditionalist" views

Is it really a morality issue? Or does it really have to deal with his insecurities? That's the first thing I thought of when I read your posts.
Of course taking a life drawing class is not cheating. Like Steven said, no emotional attachment, no physical attachment, etc. Though, I guess I can see why your boyfriend may be uncomfortable with it. Keep reassuring him that you are in that class because of your interest in art, and nothing else. Honestly, I think he's just being extremely stubborn. :T Perhaps you have to show him proof that it's only in your interests? Like, showing him an art piece that you did, showing it's importance. I dunno. Just some way to prove that this is not something you "did" to him, but just a form of art that you happen to take a course on. |

Tell him to stop being a pussy and let you follow your dreams.If he cant handle it you need to find someone who is capable and mature enough to see it as art and not as a way to get turned on.
