Undercover Brothas

I had pretty interesting post-sex conversation with a middle-aged  father of four about the benefits and disadvantages of being a closeted gay man.

 

Too Many Rules

Why do we have all have so many scruples with regards to relationships? Everyday I hear of another odd law that apparently I have to abide by. Here are some of my favourites:

 

Single Again

Major issue that I’m facing: to marry a woman or not to marry.

Fact.

Very few guys consider the possibility of being in a stable relationship with another man. I always used to think that with me, it would be different. However after another failed relationship (this one crashed even before it  took off) I’m coming to the realization that men truly cannot compromise or allow another man to have their way. Even the most effeminate guy won’t tolerate crap from another man. On the other hand, women always try hard to make it work. Faced with the prospect of being alone,  I guess most men would choose to marry a women who will stick with them. Sometimes gay relationships are just too heart-breaking.

I just became single again even though I’m not even sure if what I had would be considered a ‘relationship’ at all. I really should have heeded the alarm bells that went off in my head when he suggested we leave it ‘undefined’ when we started hanging out but I didn’t.  Next time I will try to keep my mind in the driver’s seat.
