is my boyfriend gay? But he's divorced and has kids!

Gay Issues and Problems

About a month ago, my boyfriend broke plans to hang out with a buddy, instead he came and picked me up. We have been dating for a year. His friend called (male) and he was hestitant about picking it up. After telling him to just pick it up he did. I thought at first this conversation was going to be short, i was wrong. I sat there listening to his responses which consisted of my boyfriend talking to his male friend in such a sweet voice as he kept aplogizing endlessly for changing plans with him. It was that moment where my female intution kicked in. I felt my stomach turn and thought something wasn't right; As if he was keeping something from me. Usually when guys change or break plans with other guys it's a quick, no big deal converasation which was what i was expecting but did not at all hear. The conversation took on a few minutes and all he kept saying was "i'm sorry, I know, ok, you're right."

I brought up how uncomfortable that conversation was and why his friend needed such consoling. He responded by saying he doesn't really have any friends except for a girlfriend, his parents passed away when he was really young and he was his only male friend so he felt obligated to him. All they apparently do together is smoke pot. I would have normally overlooked the entire situation but something just hit me by that conversation and because of that i've been finding out for myself what really is going on. So i would check his phone calls and the he would be on there several times a week. The night's i'm not over apparently his "friend" is. Should i be this concerned or is it nothing to worry about it. I love him and the thought of this devisates me. We're planning on marriage and kids soon, so if anyone has any advice please please help. I can't talk to anyone about this especially my friends- it's embaressing. Thank you for time.

is my boyfriend gay?

I had a very similar experience as yours. Phone call that my botfriend answered when my female intuition kicked in. My boyfriend's in construction and spends alot of time out of town with this other guy. They spend more time together than we do. I talked to him about it and his reaction wasn't what I had expected. I think he's in denial. Gut feelings mean a lot. We've been together a very long time but something just doesn't feel quite right. I'm not sure what to do about it. This other guy has a girlfriend too. The last time they were away they were gone two months up in northern Canada. He's the kind of guy that would never come out. Just don't know what to do??

I can really relate to you. But, now he's my ex because I couldn't stay with somebody who was more into his "friend" than me. I told him I wasn't gonna play 2nd fiddle to his boyfriend. He too was in denial. No woman deserves to go thru life like that. After spending time at his "friends" house he would say strange things like he misses him and he just saw him 20 minutes ago. He would take more time trying to look good for him then me. He was always wearing an old beat up sweatshirt that his boyfriend use to wear like they were going steady or something. It really made me ill. They loved spending the night together.
