I think, some of the hostility was probably related to the way he worded things.dragonlife said:Because one is random, and the other is for you pushing his buttons. I don't know, you guys are being unhelpful to someone that came into the thread for advice. He may have come off unlike how you wanted, but I don't think he meant to actually insult anyone. Now anyone that's confused may not wanna come in.
THREAD LOCK INCOMING.
Is it common with gay men? Nope, it's common with men (and women) in general.
Is Chuck a lying, cheating asshole? Yep; but not the only one to blame.
That's were part of the problem lies. Exclamation knew about the relationship, and he wasn't worried about Chuck's partner knowing; he probably didnt' cared; because "he was drunk". He cares now, because Chuck is just parading about it, and his partner not only might know, but he might tell the friends Exclamation and he have in common, and therefore expose Exclamation to them "as gay".
Don't know if I'm included in the "hostile group", based on my reply earlier, but as I said back then Exclamation's also at fault in here. He doesn't want his friends to know, then don't go around sleeping with friends much less those that are in relationships. Try to hook up with guys relatively far from you're location; or at least ones that are single.
