Too Far Away

Alright. I’m going to try to keep this short. This account is a mule, by the way.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for over seven months. He’s a wonderful guy; he’s funny, nice, caring.. He’s everything I’ve looked for in a guy. Sounds perfect, right? Wrong.
It wasn’t too far into the relationship that I discovered that he has a couple of fetishes. One of them being a foot fetish, and the other being a tickling fetish. I was cool with it.. At first.
The foot fetish is fine.. But lately, he’s been trying to tickle me a lot more. I hate being tickled. I can usually deal with it for a little while; ten minute periods are usually what I can handle the best. Any more or too often really overdoes it.
Don’t get me wrong.. I love him to death. I regret feeling the way I do about this, but I can’t help it. I just don’t like being tickled, and I don’t enjoy it at all. It’s gotten to the point where there are times I want to scream just by hearing the word ‘tickle’ or any reference to it.. We usually hang out every weekend, but I find myself taking forever to get ready and wasting time beforehand, because I don't want to be tickled..
But it feels like I'm taking away one of his dreams when I don't let him do it.. He had to hide it for so long. I'm the first person he's ever opened up to about it.
What should I do about this? Again, I can handle the tickling to a degree, but I can't handle too much. When he does tickle me, there are times where I won't laugh at all, and I'm not sure how to make myself laugh.
Breaking up isn't an option.. I'd like to try almost anything else first..
