My boyfriend 31 yrs old I'm 36 yrs old..of a year an a half does some very strange things.
1. Best friend whom he works with told me out of blue he's bisexual and likes to have anal sex with men.
2. He wants me to peg him "Dominate" him at least 3xs a week.
3. Won't touch my lady part but does like to give oral and doesn't have a problem getting hard.
4. Would never sleep at my house until i made a huge fuss about it and has started to spend the night after 7 months.
5. Let his best friend in #1 move in with him.
6. Went on a trip to NC to see his "best friend"invited me but didn't tell me when he was going until i couldn't request off work. Stayed in a hotel with guy from NC when they went to myrtle Beach for day n did couple outings such as went to beach, out to eat etc..
7. When he got home admitted to me he was molested and would never do that with a man. After i accused him of being romantically involved with #6
8. Is very secretive. My gut tells me something is very off but he's so manipulative and lies about most things.
9. Turned snap chat locator on his phone and was at multiple random houses when i was at work.
10. Catch him looking at and checking out men all the time.. but then it was women to mostly men.
11. Always avoids going to gym with me.
12. Grindr app said there was someone 8 feet away from me when i made an account and we were both home.
13. Another friend he would spend at least 3 to 5 hours with every thurs until i found out he texted him.."hey sexy. "
14. I've asked him if he's bi.. he denies it.. I've asked him if he's gay. Denies and always says "I'm not betraying you. It's not what you think.
15. Asked me one time if i would be into cuckolding.
16. Wanted me to send him videos of me and my ex having sex.
17. Doesn't believe in God. Agnostic
I have never cheated on you." But snap chat shows different and so does his actions.. should i leave him? Please help so confused

Do you want to leave? That’s the real question.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I was shocked and upset when I found out that my boyfriend was gay. He would not admit it. I finally got up the courage to leave. I am holding a good thought for you while you are going through this trauma

Some of those things are definitely red flags. Can't say if he is bi or gay...
But seriously, if he's manipulative and lying, leave him regardless of his orientation. That's one of the biggest red flags in any relationship.

If he hasn't been honest with you up til now he's not the kind of man
who will ever tell you.
You have enough proof to fill a house. If you don't have to live in the house.....move out. If you
can't move out....yet....start making plans to do so

Shh0406, this is not a trial, you don't have to present evidence. It's your relationship. You have right to say what behavior is unacceptable for you.

As for why he can't just admit it... well, manipulators never admit they could be wrong. He needs the relationship, he needs you as a cover, so that he can say: look, I have a girlfriend, I'm not gay!

Trust your own eyes and trust your instincts. Don't get trapped in lies.

Thanks everyone..i know i just wanted to present some things that question his sexuality.. not normal compared to my past relationship..
I forgot to mention i don't think he cares about a cover..ill say why.. be 4 me he supposingly wasnt in a relationship for 3 yrs be 4 me.. but stated "i messed around with a couple girls"..i worked with him so i know he's not lying about that.

I understand... maybe he does not want to admit it even to himself.
Many of the things you listed show quite clearly he's into men. You can read this thread about "red flags" if you want. https://straightspouse.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=1803

Gut feelings are important indicators that should not be easily dismissed. Actions and behaviours are more important than words. You get to decide what is acceptable to you, and what is not. Wishing you strength and clarity.
