It is devastangingly sad that this individual could not reconcile this but if you look back over the last thousand of years or so, there are literally thousand sof people (religious or not) who lead celibate lives either by choice or not and while it is a struggle and a sacrifice it can be done. It is unfortunate that he could not look at his suffering as a sacrifice to God and as a result be more resolute and at peace with it. Hopefully he has now found that peace.
