    Wow, I think I'm actually first, but instead of shouting first, I just want to say I hope you all stay strong, and have a lovely day and love yourself wether you are in the LGBT+ community or not

    I'm glad she was still willing to understand. I'm glad she made lines and recognized that she was going to need suport. Sounds like a truly lovely woman. And such a well spoken man.

    "And I said to her why are you crying?" - Ofcourse she was was crying because you cheated on her!

    T
    He and his wife had a true marriage and friendship. I believe that because he was able to be open with her on his bisexuality, he was able to truly be himself and did not have to sexually act out his attraction because he was living authentically with his wife. Bravo.

    Todays gay bars are all about dysfunction as told to me by a former gay bar manager.

      I know....dumbest shit I ever heard. Get a clue...most women aren’t open to the idea of their husbands “exploring”. If that’s what you want, then stay single.🤦🏻‍♀️

    Not sure what the point of this whole thing was. A guy explored. OK.

      I think it was the idea that things were quite different back then. You could be put in jail, life ruined, family shame, etc., all things that are taken for granted today.

    I hate how he ended it saying that “she gradually came to know he’s going to explore this” aka she knows I’m going to cheat on her with every guy I can. Just sad. Poor wife and kids.

    No good ideas to married that kind of men who is Gay or bi man they can’t give women 100% love how women can stay home and not hurt to see her husband going out and sleeping w another man maybe desperate women.

    I feel the wife was pushing her boundaries out of love for him. If I'm right, that's so sad.

    • @boojiemonster
      @boojiemonster 5 лет назад +3

      Why do you think pushing your boundaries is a sad thing? That is how you grow. Almost all, if not all, intimate relationships challenge the participants boundaries in one way or another. It's up to each person to negotiate those boundaries in a healthy manner or not.

      She probably was, but i don't find it sad. Kind of sweet how trusting she was. She clearly had hopes for their marriage even if he was going to dabble on the side.

  • @whitestone4805
    @whitestone4805 3 года назад +5

    The man, to satisfy his lust and justifying his selfish motivations by dressing them up as progressive liberality shatters the vows and trust inherent in the husband/wife union and then shows no remorse or shame, only a weak intellectualising of his awful act of betrayal.
    The seared conscience in action.

    • @PUAlum

      we don't know what vows they exchanged. She may have known all about his inclinations. I find the evident honesty of both him and his wife refreshing. I don't know how you race to him being "selfish" based on this little snippet.

    • @whitestone4805

      Hi.
      An assumption about me on your part.
      There was no “race” to anything.
      A blind man on a galloping horse could see what going on here.
      Equally, for my part I don’t see anything “refreshing” in it; sadly just the unmistakeable whiff of man’s stale fallen nature.
      Self-justification is an unregenerate state and an impotent substitute for conviction of sin, Godly sorrow in the face of it’s presence in our lives and genuine heart-felt repentance at it’s manifestation.

    This is the second video I see with this man talking. I believe you are really simply a gay man, not a bisexual man. I know you are married to a woman who accepts your gay meetings. However, you are not chasing women, you are chasing men. Your marriage is just a contract for stability, especially for your wife, but what you really desire is a relationship with another man.

      Vladi Enrique I suspect you are right, but it doesn’t mean he’d be happier in a same sex relationship. People are a consequence of their time and place etc, not everyone can move out of that space happily

    Sandy was a fool or he's just lying about her being okay with him being a poc.
