My intuition had been telling me for years that he was on the DL. He had a gay best friend he spent a lot of time with. It is possible for a heterosexual man to be friends with gay men, but in my experience, it is not very common. There was nothing in his language or mannerisms that made me question his sexuality. It was really the amount of time he spent with this man that made me uncomfortable and raised a lot of questions.
He always came back with stories about people from his neighborhood secretly sleeping with his gay best friend. “You’d be surprised,” he would exclaim. He seemed to have a story for every negative thing happening in other people’s lives, all while keeping so many secrets of his own. One of those secrets, I believe, was the true nature of his relationship with his “gay best friend.” He even introduced me to him. Ironically, his gay best friend and I connected quickly, and I ended up doing administrative work for his privately owned entertainment company.
I do not trust a man who spends a lot of time with the guys, and I especially do not trust a straight man who spends most of his time with a homosexual man. Those are red flags for me in relationships. I do not judge anyone for whatever lifestyle they choose, but lying to me, not only about being attracted to the same sex but also about actively being involved with men, is not something I signed up for. I felt deceived. He could have put my health at risk by his sexual behavior with both women and men. In my experience, he was the type of opportunist who would sleep with anyone if there was something in it for him.
His gay best friend even sent me a friend request on Facebook. At the time, I thought people in his life had a genuine interest in getting to know me. Now, I realize that many of his secret relationships including with the mother of his children felt threatened by my presence. They saw me as an obstacle between them and him. That led to years of feeling watched, targeted, and dealing with people I did not even know existed. Every time I say I walked away with my life, I mean it.
Even if I had financially benefited from his relationship with this man, whom I believed was his sugar daddy, I would never have knowingly accepted support that came from his side relationships. I learned a lot from my relationship with him, and the biggest lesson was this: never blindly trust anyone, but always trust my intuition.
