Look, you chose to comment on your father being gay, and you expect us to be shocked when you tell us that your initial beau was gay.

That is YOUR assumption, the guy in question wasn’t close to my first ‘beau’ and wasn’t even my first fiancee (the other engagment broke off for different reasons).

And yes, I blame Mormon culture, because if it hadn’t bee so sexually repressive, perhaps he would have not had so much invested in keeping up a lie or hiding what he felt. Perhaps he would have realized it before he got engaged.

I am a victim here, not a co-conspirator.

And my experiences are my experiences and our contrary to yours. And it would appear, I have a lot more experience than you do in this matter, since you have only been a third party observer.

Let me know when your wife comes out of the closet if you saw the signs.

You requested that I do not respond to you.

“I am a victim here.”

And that about wraps it up.

“I have a lot more experience than you do in this matter”

Yes ma’am, whatever you say.

“Let me know when your wife comes out of the closet if you saw the signs.”

Kind words. Ma’am, if I may be so bold, you aren’t helping yourself.

“I blame Mormon culture, because if it hadn’t bee so sexually repressive, perhaps he would have not had so much invested in keeping up a lie or hiding what he felt.”

So all would have been well, if he had been ‘out’?

Interesting argument. I disagree strenously that ‘sexual repression’ is part of the problem. No, the problem is that people are unwilling to discuss sins with their potential spouses, and walk into it blind. The spouse must know what they are getting themselves into.
