  • Using the imaginary setting I’ve created in my mind based on the information presented in your comment, I’d say the invitation has two main support beams holding it up, eventual marriage and becoming a doctor.

    This would be an investment into your future as a couple and their possible grandchildren. So my advice would be to not take it for granted.

    The pressure to perform well in both professional pursuits and familial has broken many. And the closer you’ll get to a deadline, the higher the tension you’ll suffer. As such, the support has to be mutual.

    If you go in, go in as a family member. Participate, help out. Do not detach from them. This will help redistribute the mounting pressure.

    If you stay out, do not isolate yourself. You’ll end up dumping your frustrations on your partner and spiral downward towards self-defeat.

    The years ahead will be quite complicated. But if you stay true to your passion, something will come out of it even if it won’t be what you expect.

    Good luck, regardless of your choice.

    It feels like you just wanna argue for arguing’s sake.

    The condom isn’t perfect and shouldn’t be treated as such. As good as it may be, it’s not a panacea.

    And when it comes to sexual experimentation, depending on a thin piece of plastic to protect you from everything you might want to try is quite unrealistic.
