I think my boyfriend might be gay: Thoughts?

Anonymous, please. I’m worried my boyfriend might be gay and is trying to hide it from myself and his family. We’ve been together a year, and in the beginning, the sex was great and frequent, but now it’s like it’s just a performance. Quick to the point, and his expressions and reactions are dramatic and very obviously exaggerated. Sometimes he goes completely soft right in the middle or says he’s finished when I know he didn’t. He keeps his eyes closed most of the time and I’ve even caught him watching tv during our lovemaking. He makes jokes all the time about being gay. He is often late getting home from work and showers immediately. Sometimes before even greeting me. I feel so crazy all the time and I don’t know what to do about it.

Talk to him.
There’s nothing we could provide.
Be delicate and supportive, if he is. It seems you’ve accepted it and let him know just that.

Try to talk to him.
Usually you’ll see signs. I was with a man for 9 years before I realized I was into women.

Talk to him about it. Definitely approach it cautiously. I dated a guy who was, but he was in complete denial. It didn’t work out with us bc I knew I was a cover up. And I knew it was going to end bad. But ultimately the relationships future depends on how you feel about it.

I married a bisexual man. It lasted 5 months :joy:. I look back on it and wonder what the hell I was thinking!

I point out all the time that my man is obviously into certain other men
I support him in his choice

My feelings is can look but no touch
And loyalty and staying is a choice

If he is gay, he’s gay, but being a cheater is a whole different thing. I would confront him if you really think he is out doing the deed elsewhere. Man or woman, you could catch something.

Tell him that’s nothing to joke about and ask him if he is. What man jokes about being gay???

He might be in denial about it and there is nothing wrong with that…I was with guys and then a girl in a high-school for 8 years and now been with the love of my life for almost 6 years! Just talk to him and let him know there’s no judgement and it is perfectly okay being who he is and not to feel like he has to hide it!

He might not be gay. He’s probably just into someone else. You said in the beginning the sex was great and frequent. Maybe he found another female and is having great and frequent sex with her. In any event you might want to investigate closer. Buy a butt plug/dildo and see if he lets you put it in his back door. If he does you could be right🤷🏽‍♀️

Your intuition is nothing to ignore. Ask him if he’s cheating. If yes, then ask him if it’s with a man or woman. And unless he works at a hospital or construction…no man is showering that enthusiastically!!

I kept waking up to my baby daddy watching gay shows on Netflix’s :smile: and he hardly never wanted to have sex, we was together a year. We slept together every night but only had sex once every 2 weeks idek how I got prego :smile::woman_facepalming: then he left and went to texas one day when I was 6 ms prego, without a goodbye or anything. I swear hes gay but hes with another really ugly woman so idk I think he just likes to use women to cook for him but he secretly likes men.

You aren’t crazy your intuition is telling you something. My first thought was cheating… unfortunately.

I would talk to him. Try to put feelings of betrayal aside- because at the end of the day you already feel betrayed and hearing it out loud will at least give closure.

Give him a chance for an easy out.
No straight guy is going to take being accused of being gay very well… so maybe just focus on some of the other red flags and see what comes out.
Good luck

Maybe he has some mental things going on. A struggling mindset can definitely affect the erection, can cause someone to make jokes in lieu of facing the seriousness within their head, and to withdrawal from people (showering immediately for a few minutes of peace after getting home from a long day at work). Also, if he’s stressed, he could be taking the long way home to find those extra few minutes by himself. Trust me, I’ve done exactly the same stuff and I’m happily married; just battled some mental things at the time.

This happened to me once, in highschool. I liked this guy so hard, I thought he liked me a lot to. We dated for a few months, then one day. We’re at his house, hanging in his room. He jumped on his bed and the mattress showed a bit of the box spring. Right there in a neat little pile, were three male porn magazines. We just stared at each other once I saw them. I said “so I’m a beard huh?” And after that we were pretty alright friends. Just talk to him, if he can’t be truthful, just leave.

Trust your gut but it could be anything from his mental health being not great all the way to not being interested/cheating … do you have any other suspicions being in a long term relationship it’s not alwais passion etc … he maybe just as stressed with it as you are x

Not to be rude! But I have dealt with something kinda like this! And maybe he is cheating and no longer feels attracted to you anymore! So he goes a has sex with someone else female or male and comes home an pleases or try’s to please you but doesn’t feel the connection no more so he does what he can. Also may feel guilty and doesn’t wanna or no how to break it off!

I’ve gotten to the point if I’ve got to question a relationship, even if I ever had one such as this, I take it as a sign, and I would be outta of there. Time is precious. I don’t want to waste my time on anyone. I certainly don’t want anyone making me wonder, with me always questioning, why, why, why? I’ve had 2 successful marriages, but I loss my husband’s. One in 93 and the other in 2010. There wasn’t a day they made me wonder and question anything whatsoever. You only live once. If you wanna waste time with someone, I would hope it would be with someone to make you happy, and not with someone that always makes you question why this or that. For the record, you may want to ask him or investigate it. If it continues, I’d pack my bags and be on my way or have him pack his if he lives with you.

Been here & done that to an extent! He would come home, strip down, put the clothes in the washer, start the washer, go right past me to take a shower with gum in his mouth. He cheated left and right! He passed away unfortunately while we were married, but when he did and i got his phone from the funeral home, it was full of all kinds of messages from other women including the day he passed away.

Not sure if he’s gay, but the shower thing… he’s either cheating, working construction, or washing possible covid germs off when he gets home. Whatever the reason that still leaves issues in your relationship. Have an honest talk. If you can’t have that, maybe this is not the right relationship for you.

sometimes though when there are other problems money job emotional mental health physical health issues there are other things that will make a man actually not want to have sex. I know it sounds crazy but they have feelings too and the last thing that’s on their mind is having sex when they are having a hard time with something else in their life ask him how he’s feeling how he is doing. I know what’s happening to because it happened to me and I wasn’t being cheated on my husband was stressed out about money and being able to provide for us and our family and his job wasn’t going well his mental health wasn’t going well. Have you told him before that he is acting gay because maybe he’s like oh and I was just a f****** joke. Men are really insecure about these sorts of things so maybe try coming on softly first.

You won’t know unless you have that conversation. It may be uncomfortable but put your big girl panties on and ask the questions. You may be surprised by the answers you get. If your gut is telling you something, ask. Knowledge is power. Use it.

If you think something is wrong, usually a girl knows her intuition, then snoop on his phone. I am not one to snoop and I have never done so in my 6 year long relationship, but in my past relationships I have and I was dead on correct. If you talk to him with guessing, he probably won’t come clean. I mean you can still try first. And if you do not get anywhere then scoop on his phone. Or better yet, ask for his phone. If you don’t think he will give the phone to you then just get on it when he ain’t paying attention.

The fact he keeps making jokes u have to be worried that’s it is possible. You don’t need to be unhappy or stressed sexually because of this man, follow ur mind n not ur heart this time cz he’s either cheating or lost feelings for u sexually which man watched tv while making love to his woman! Grab the bull by the horn hun and ask him what’s happening do not hide ur feelings let him know ur no comfortable lately with what is happening in the bedroom…Who me, I so refuse to be stressed like that ever again! If it’s a medical issued yes give n take but he’s straight up selfish and not showing you enough love n affection in the bedroom telling u he’s finished when he’s not​:eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes:kmt he’s playing some really heartless games here .

Nothing makes a a relationship better than communication… ask and explain your concerns and acknowledge support - of that’s something your willing to offer. He may be better off as a friend is he is

Girl, run…if its not another guy, it may be another chick…that gut feeling you may have is always right :frowning: you deserve better…

I would talk to him, let him know you feel his being distant and less affectionate. Ask him whether anything is wrong.

Probably cheating, and is secretly gay. :woman_shrugging: just talk to him and ask him what is going on. If he brushes it off or changes the subject, bring it back up and ask him if he’s cheating. If he denies it ask him if he’s recently been experimenting with other men. :woman_shrugging: some guys don’t think its being gay if they do it with another man every once in a while… yah I don’t get it either.
But yeah ask him if he is or why he keeps faking it in bed.

Your instincts are correct you are without a doubt…not crazy

Doesn’t sound like he is gay sounds like he is cheating all the tell tell signs are there for cheating and him joking about being gay is a coop so he doesn’t get caught cheating

Pack up and leave sweetie! If he’s not cheating with a man its someone.

Break up with him.
Have a discussion, not an argument and let him sort himself out.

I don’t think his behavior says he might be gay but buy some toys and use them in him see how he reacts or just ask him

Exactly besides the other stuff taking a shower immediately when coming home. I would have already definitely asked him something

I honestly dated a guy who was bi sexual and kept it from me and his family! He did almost the same things with me during intercourse,would go for awhile and never finish or go soft or semi soft and be done. And watched tons of porn and gay porn or chicks w/d&ckz
