I may not be the entitled one to give advice, especially because I have no direct experience regarding that, but literally a few days ago a friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend. Instead, I tell a little story.
After, as a group of four, we did a lot together, the two got closer to each other and soon after they were a couple. Like every couple, they got even closer and spend a lot of time together. However, after more or less a year, while hanging out they were pretty much just sitting somewhere and were bored.
Both had different interests and also quite different personalities. One is very active, a doer, who is adventurous and the other someone (I still have no words how to really describe it) who is also a doer, but not very open for new things and manages to overcome the day by doing nothing. And I really mean nothing. It's a mystery. After months, there were no longer the energy to pretend or play a part; better said the motivation to do things you don't wanna do to spend time with the other person. So after a pretty long discussion, they came to the conclusion that breaking up is the better option than staying together.
I would say, that you have to weigh up the options you have and choose what is the most important for you regarding the situation. Are you okay with giving something up which you would like to do, to experience or to live like, to stay with the person or not?
I can't come to an answer because I don't have any details about your relationship. Maybe your relationship is awesome, except when it comes to preferences. Maybe do the same as my friend and discuss it with him in some way. Maybe you can change his mindset somehow. Although I don't think that would work because you used ''hate'' in context to his view on your fetish.
Either way, you are the one who has to decide. I just wanna give you the tip to be egoistic in such a situation, because it's a decision which directly affects your life.
