My boyfriend just told me he is gay and broke up with me
When we met about two years ago, he told me he was bi. I am also bi and I was just so happy to meet someone like me.
I fell in love with him and we got together in october of that year. We said things like “this feels too good to be true” and how we wanted to get married some time in the near future.
Last July we move in together and I asked himself a million times if this is what he wanted. I wanted to be sure because I knew that’s what I wanted.
He held me through so many hard nights, took care of me during my sprained ankle. We fantasized about our wedding.
He went to visit family this weekend and when he came home we were supposed to talk about if we wanted to move closer to my family. Instead- he tells me he is gay and can only see himself with a man in the future.
My whole world, my whole life i thought i had is gone. He kissed me on Friday – and now I am single.
I don’t know what to do – I am heartbroken and just feel like my life has been a lie. The devoted, caring, kind loving man I loved – he wasn’t real.
He left the house and hasn’t taken my call or my texts. I am just broken.
Netizens’ comments
-  it’s better to find out now than later. Heart break is terrible and there is never a good time. But he did you a favor. He probably been wrestling with this and the move pushed him to finally let you know. You will grieve and find a way to move on.
- I have been where you are. We weren’t living together, but we had been together for over 5 years. When we got together, I knew he was bi and had dated men before. But I believed that he loved me and wanted to make a life together. I don’t remember exactly when he started pulling away, but I remember how it felt. And I remember when he told me that he realized he was lent just bi and that he was gay.
It hurt. Like hell. I don’t remember how long it was before we started talking again. We may have never really stopped texting. But it was several months before I could bring myself to see him again. It still hurt, and it did for a long time. But eventually, it stopped hurting. We became friends. Now he’s one of my best friends. But it took a lot to get where we are now. You may not have the same ending that I did, but I told my story to let you know that it will be ok and you will get over it.Â
