My friends and I went out one day when we got to the point of spilling our secrets and of them confessed that he's more attracted to men than women. We were all surprised since we knew him for long and that he's into a Mu3year relationship with his girlfriend. Much to our surprise when we heard his story and he's planning to tell his girlfriend soon. I'm a woman and I woudn't know what to do if my boyfriend reveals to me that he's gay. What would you do if you were in her shoe?

well I'm definitely a man, but me my girlfriend already discuss about this matter, she told me that if I confess to her about such a thing she will surely beaten me and she said she will do anything to turn me into a real man. well he doesn't need to do that since I'm a really and straight guy.

Whoah! I don't think I'd ever recover from that. Not that I would be hurt all the time, but I would actually lose my confidence in myself and my taste in men! How could I have overlooked that?! But, I think the girl already knows. But we'll see. What really confuses me though is what happens if you've already married a guy? I know of a friend who was obviously gay when were were in high school. He's every inch a gay person then just now, I've seen his photo in Facebook and he's married and got a baby! I know people could change, but would you take the risk of being with someone who was gay in the past? What if the preference returns???

Then that would be another problem. I'm glad tho that they haven't gotten into the "marriage" part. I have a friend like yours too, and he married to our batch mate who knew who he was before. ;-)

Whoah, Good luck for her! Any idea or have you gotten yourself involved with the scoop on what's going on between them? How did they 'fall' for each other knowing the past?

I know... I don't even know what to do if I were on her shoe. Our male friend met his gf through a common friend. He got attracted with the girl, she's in no doubt very pretty and nice. He courted her for 2months, both of them were actually good looking. The guy is doing part time modeling that's why he's with gays more often, the girl trusted him so that he won't be like them.. but that's where its going to right now.

Well at first I probably would be upset depending on how long the relationship was going on. I then would realize I can't do anything to change him and just remain his best friend. Be there for him thru thick and thin. I can't compete with a man if that is what he prefers. I think I could deal with this better then if he told me he was leaving me for another girl. That would hurt more then finding out he is gay.

My boy friend is gay. Ops no it's not possible. If he is gay then what he will do with me. Gay fall in love with a man and i am a girl. So it's not possible. But if reveal that he was gay then may be i will forgive him and make him real man. Well still i am a single so i hope i will not get a boy who is gay.:)

Probably I would lost interest on him, so it wouldn't be too hard.It's like you have a girlfriend instead a boyfriend, right ?

I know someone who went though this and it was most hurtful for her! My ex brother in law revealed that he was gay one day and he had been seeing his girlfriend for almost a year. I recall bumping into her in the city and, as we sat down and had a coffee she explained to me how it felt to be dumped for another man because my ex brother in law was not only gay but had been cheating on his girlfriend with a guy and his poor girlfriend was left heart broken. We talked for an hour and there wasn’t very much I could say to her to ease her pain except that I would be there for her when she needed me. I guess that is all you can do for your friend’s girlfriend. It is best she knows before she wastes any more time with someone who will never be happy with her.

Well... considering gay men have the highest rate of incurable sexually transmitted diseases... I think the first thing I'd do is dump him immediately, then get checked for STDs. Then, I'd likely reconsider my standards for boy friends. Aim a bit higher from now on.

Hello dheckerz, I remember this story from Instructor in the Call center i used to train with. he had a girl friend although he didn't realize he was more attractive to men when he actually tried with them. then, he got attracted with this guy, when he told her gf that he was gay she couldn't believe. in his office she went there to propose to him before she leave for singapore but he rejected it. now, he has a boyfriend, i really couldn't tell that he was gay because he's so guy look
