Accepted Answer

What do YOU want?: The real question is do you want to do something (with potential side effects- since everything has side effects!) in order to please him? Are you happy with how you look and who you are? Does he love you just the way you are, or does he try to change you? I would recommend spending some time thinking about this before deciding to change yourself.

The effects and potential side effects are temporary and eventually wear off.
