hi, im new here and im hoping there are some others out there in my situation. i am in a relationship with a gay man. i have known he was gay pretty much right from the start. you wouldnt think he was. anyway we entered a 'relationship' that was one of convenience for us both. he hasnt come out yet but has fully admitted to himself and me and 2 other friends that he is. i have had crappy relationship one after the other. i am now the happiest i have been in years. we get on extremely well, love each other, communicate like nothing else ive known. he has said he is the happiest hes been in a long time and this is the best relationship he has had. there is no confusion. i dont wish him to be straight, yes im in love with him but i know exactly where i stand and im fine with that. hes not actively out there with guys. he has been with one since we have been together. he is comepletely up front with me and vice versa. no im not seeing other people. any way there is way more to this long story but in short, has anyone else been in this position. would be good to have people to talk to.

I'm glad you are both happy.

This kind of relationship is not easy for outsiders to understand, but that applies to a lot of other kinds of relationship, too.

This was my thinking too. I have lots of friends that are bisexual, and when they first come to that conclusion they automatically think they are gay, because of the tendency towards same sex.

I'm glad that you have an amazing friend and that you are both happy regardless though
