I think only a certain type of incarnation can handle the extreme mental requirements of the celibate and ascetic life. You shouldn't be forcing this upon yourself if you know that you're only going to be failing at it again and again. You will feel miserable and life will become empty and cruel by extension.

What you should try for is a really healthy and productive monogamous relationship and simply being a good man to those around you; be patient and mediating toward the different dramas that others throw at you, and give them guidance if you can. If you keep forcing the ascetic life onto yourself when you know it isn't happening then you'll be of no good to anyone.
