ORIGINAL: Daddysmira I think he was somewhat stunned that I would stay with him either way. Sorry for being long here, but it's something I relate to: Smira, I speak from experience that sexual orientation is a VERY serious thing! It's hard to admit to oneself, deal with it internally and there's definitely the denial elimant. He clearly stated in his post "the risk of losing her". He clearly states "Gay" orientation vs. "Bi". His thoughts are clearly on the "Gay" side, not "Bi". From personal experience that post was from his heart he's just not ready to admit or surrender to it. People don't post such a serious topic for "Fun" and to "Mess w/ people". My suggestion, really read the words without feeling the fear or potential loss in relation to yourself. He is definitely going through something. I know, I went through it and it was the hardest thing for me to deal with. He knows that if he admits it and surrenders to his orientation that ultimately he may loose you. You know why? Because he knows he won't be able to fulfill a part of you or you him. Denial is a very scary and powerful thing. Your continuing to accept him is beautiful b/c people need love from others and especially acceptance. I applaude you on that but you may have to love him or care for him as a friend only if he is Gay, b/c he does not mention "bi" but that he fears losing you. What he fears is losing your company. He clearly respects you and cares for you but sexually that's a much different story. What YOU never say is how YOU really feel about it? Don't just get hung up on accepting and caring for him. Your feelings do matter. Your emotional and physical satisfaction is important too. Being a sub does not mean you have to stay in the relationship or that your are just to "deal" with it. It really is ok, to just be his good friend, someone he can feel safe to be himself. Whether he is gay or str8. Try in time, to honestly ponder what you want long term with him, be honest with yourself within yourself. It's not terrible to admit to him that you may care for him or even love him, but you need someone who can fulfill a different part of you. You don't explain the dynamic in your relationship. If it is all just training vs. a sexual aspect involved also? If there's a sexual side, do you really feel you will in the long run be able to submit to him mentally and completely? Will he be able to be a dom to fulfill a part of you that's important to? When you two get together again (which I think is good for both of you) your heart or instincts will know, but only if your not looking at him in denial yourself. Also be leary of a sexual "I'll prove it" from him. It's what's really going on in his heart or self identification vs. the "act of sex". I wish you all the best, this is tough b/c your are not just his friend at this point. Keep an open mind and heart and the answers will come naturally.
