    Re: I’m a target, apparently

    My wife of 9 years just told me she’s gay. Girlfriend before her dumped me because she realized she was gay… it’s been a hard blow to my esteem.  Like… am I so awful that I convince women they just don’t want to have anything to do with men? F’ing hell….
    I think I’m kind and fun and reasonably attractive… I like your interpretation about people who are questioning their sexuality feeling safe with us.  

    Seeing some of the comments on here about putting “straights only!” on their dating profiles made me laugh… I might put something like “lgbtq ally, but please not in my romantic relationships”

    finally, lol Lily 😂
    The kind hetero women you are hoping for do exist, mainly we are married to gay men.

    Hi Stone,

    That hard blow to your self esteem started being delivered from the moment she secured your romantic interest in her.    and it kept going and going, hidden underneath the surface narrative.

    Now you are off the hook.  Now you see the bruising.

    Her parents can take some responsibility because they conceived her but you have no responsibility whatsoever for her sexual orientation.

    Fact is, I'll lay dollars to donuts a straight woman would consider you an ideal romantic partner.
