News Gay Marriage And My Idiot Boyfriend

[Blue Survivor]

Wow - I am so glad that I decided to call off the engagement months ago and move out of 'our' place and into my own place. We are still 'dating' but I would never marry him because he was unable to support me emotionally, plus he's selfish. He always thought PTSD was made up, or something people use for attention. He still believes that it isn't real.

Anyhow, every now and then he says something completely stupid and it makes me think I made the right decision to move out. So gay marriage is now legal - yay - and do you know what his response was? "Gay people are only gay because of their upbringing, it is their parents' fault or they just do it for attention." I was floored. I can't believe the ignorance of some people, and don't even get me started on how he feels the wage gap is also a crock.

I was so shocked & embarrassed about his feelings towards gays and towards feminism that I couldn't even bring myself to tell anyone that I know in the real workd. But I had to vent someplace. Wow, just wow. What a moron.

Of course non-het people are that b/c of our upbgringing, these straights parents fail to convey how awesome people of alike genders are, to date and live with and live for ;D

(Thanks for posting. I'm just mostly amused at a lot of hateful thinkers' lack of logic.)

Aah, to be free of the burden of knowledge - what a devine gift. Unencumbered by empathy and unbound by decency shall the morons fly through the teeny, tiny world in their heads, casting judgement on all they percieve below. May they never hit the ground.

Ignorance is truly bliss. Maybe this is the wake up call you need to kick his ignorant, misogynistic a$$ to the curb. Life is too short to waste on jerks like that.

I think it might be a really good idea to look for a new boyfriend, one who is supportive and loving toward you and who believes in you too!

My ex felt that I was making it all up too. I am no longer seeing him and that was a good deal of the reason way.

You dodged a bullet!

I think its great that you see these traits and are veering clear. WAAAY too many people dismiss these "little things" because they're SO in love, and he's SUCH a good person! Funny thing is, they don't realize that its these little things that often become big things that tear the relationship apart.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I just had to vent about his stupidity. And yes - it's just about curb time for him. The more time I'm away from him the more fun I'm having doing my own thing. And it feels great!

"Gay people are only gay because of their upbringing, it is their parents' fault or they just do it for attention."

Reading his though gave me little chuckle here. This man doesn't know nor have proper understanding.

I recall your threads on this forums, you were having hard time and needed some help. I am glad you have moved on from him and now firm about it.
