You don't have to accept or know what he wants. It is not about him, it is about you. Admitting to yourself that you would let someone abuse you isn't hard. We all do the best we can with what we have and what we know. Now that you know, what will you do about it? Letting someone continue to abuse you after you know--now that's entirely different.
