Not a yank of head or violent recoil, but a silky shift that only just barely broke skin contact. He knew about that. Right? Right.

There are aspects of you that he will need to accept, just as you have to accept some of his. It is compromise. But all of this? Does not mean that you do not care about one another. Why would you continue to put up with it if it makes you unhappy?
