Hey everyone,
Let me provide you some background info.
My best friend of many years is currently going through a divorce because two months ago, her husband came out of the closet and is now openly gay with a coworker. The three of us (my friend, her husband, and I) have been close friends for about 7 years. They dated for 3 years and would have been married 3 years next month. We all felt very comfortable with each other and, having gone through elevated school and college together, felt like we knew each other inside and out. Needless to say, both my friend and I were completely blindsided by her husband's coming out, my friend especially. She has been having a rough time processing her divorce and the truth that someone who was gay all along married her in the first place.
Now onto my boyfriend: we have been together about 3 months now, and he is a really great guy. He recently started a new jo

Girls, theres a little secret that some of your boyfriends/husbands are hiding. Theyre gay. No matter what nation you live in, most societies still ostracize anyone who is not strictly heterosexual. This leads to some men making the unfortunate decision to try to do what society wants by getting married to women and having a normal family life. As we all know, marriage cannot change what nature has created and many of these men end up feeling conflicted and emotionally tortured.
How do I know all of this? Because many of my gay friends have sexual trysts with married men on a regular basis! While there is a petty number of men who are completely straight acting and could fool anyone with the most advanced gaydar system, there is an even larger number of men whos hips have more swing than a Six Flags amusement park. Girls, I dont care what anyone says, there is no such thing as an effeminate straight man.

Re: I think my boyfriend is bisexual
Can I question how you know he's adj towards telling you he's bi? For instance, has he talked about questioning his orientation or seemed to ask a lot of questions about your views on things like bisexuality?
When you say you undergo like a "second," it sounds like part of what's going on is that you're assuming he really wants to be with a boy, but feels like being with a lady is safer and so he's dating you. That's actually usual feeling people have around bisexuality; the assumption that there's one gender a bi person would prefer to be with, and that if they're not with a person of that gender they're just biding their day until they can jump ship. But that's not how bisexuality works. If your partner is with you, it makes sense to trust that you're who he wants to be with, not that he's secretly wishing he was with someone else (and if you feel appreciate that isn't something you can trust, then that's a signal there may be a deeper issue in the relationship).
With that discomfort imagining h
