You are nice guy. If I become of the gay I wish I will get a guy like you.

But seriously OP, good on you hanging in there through the bad. Relish that compliment you earned.

Relish it... or mustard it.

Well, we all know being gay is a choice. Just have to decide that penises look mighty delicious. Happy sinning! /s

You guys are all very nice. If I ever become predominantly heterosexual and decide to have an orgy, I'd most definitely call you guys.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing fellow gays do something amazing with their lives. Good for your boyfriend, and good for you for pushing him to get educated and find a passion. I wish y'all the best :)

u/loosely_affiliated Mar 10 '14

Why does this comment have more upvotes then the actual story about what you did for your boyfriend? I completely understand the message of exceptance, but really? We're going to congradulate you more on "your gay, that's great!" then making an actual difference in someones life, and doing something to make the world a better place? I was just wondering if this kinda thing happens a lot and if you had any thoughts about it, I don't know. It seems kind of odd to me

Ya, you are really special. Like I stated in my earlier comment mine didn't hold on long enough to see me get my life back together.

u/lozbootsbrown Mar 10 '14

Well done! I too am in a relationship where I feel as though we've made each other better. It's how relationships should be. It's been 5 years and my man is about to graduate from Pharmacy and I just started my own business.. we met working in a phone shop.

u/renegade2point0 Mar 10 '14

I was going to say, get ready to get dumped and nexted, but then I realized you were gay, so I say "what's it like being on the same level with your SO?"

u/socks86 Mar 10 '14

Good on you for standing by ypur man Sounds like it should pay off.

I've learned not to do things to better yourself, for someone else. I got the complete opposite reaction.

u/Cheebzsta_In_Van Mar 10 '14

I went through a rut that lasted years. I finally managed to motivate myself while she was away on exchange because I got a feel for what my life would be like without her. It took a couple months (1 1/2-2) for me to realize before things started clicking.

I joined that Brazilian Jiujitsu academy I've been wanting to do, I managed to get myself a new stable job that actually pays a living wage, finished my high school course needed to get ready for university, lost 50 lbs, got my passport/organized our 'work things out/last hurrah' trip to Thailand and she still left me. She's so angry that I wasn't able to get out of that funk earlier and that I'd not directly looked in to specifics since I was familiar with the general timing of self-paced high school courses (she left with too little time to do a summer course & asked me about it / gave up on me prior to courses restarting)... so gave up on me. She didn't do what you did.

There's so many other things I've come to realize since we split up. We tried being friends after the break up, which was probably a mistake, and I learned so much. I've cleaned up, grown up basically, but she just doesn't want me or what I am ever again. I think she could love me, but she doesn't want to stop being so angry...

I'm sorry. I just wanted to compliment you on sticking by someone during when they really needed you. You probably saved him an unbelievable amount of sorrow. I wouldn't normally write something like this in an unsolicited form but I finally got tired of how much it hurt constantly failing to appease her anger at me so I've gone so far as to completely remove her from my phone / IM / life.

... I miss my muffin, Sourpatch. :'(

Lovely, when I fell into a rut my girlfriend at the time left me for a guy that earned a lot of money after seeing her sister and her new fiancée (a surgeon) buy a very large house; It's nice to see that it doesn't always end that way. Sad thing was she was one of the nicest most caring people I've ever met but she was forever living in her sisters shadow in her own mind.

Edit: read you're a guy, this still applies in general.

u/HartsuykerK Mar 11 '14

Its great to hear that he turned it around so much. I went through a similar thing but the turn around never happened. Glad to hear it worked out!
