If he is basing it on pragmatic reasons, like avoiding STDs, or simply not wanting to commit or financial reasons, those are real reasons. But male or female, gay or straight, monogamy or partnership does not need a reason based on an old book.
Well I don't think it's a problematic reason. It's a matter of opinion. He's Catholic, not atheist, so of course you'll both have different ideas on what a "good reason" is. The point is, it's his decision to make, and he claims to be happy with it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
