Here's the deal. Before George and I got together, I had heard that George had had a fling with a guy a long time ago. It was common-ish knowledge among our friends - a one time thing that George was reluctant to discuss. I didn't want him to feel weird about it even though it made me wonder about some stuff in the very back of my mind. Like, could he really love me if he was in to guys? Or was it like a Mick Jagger/David Bowie scenario - an Iggy Pop/Lou Reed sort of thing, except everyone was wearing a button down shirt?
So I went on a hike this morning with a friend. The friend said there was a friend of a friend who got busy with George a long time ago. Like way before George and I started dating. That friend of a friend was a guy. That friend of a friend was a different guy than the other guy George had a fling with that I already knew about. Follow me?
Later that night:
Me: George, I have a question.
George: Ok
Me: How many homosexual dalliances have you had? Because I heard it was two. Not one.
George: yeah... that sounds about right
Me: Before you told me it was only once and it was because you were confused -
George: I was just trying stuff out - I was young and-
Me: So do you think you might be gay? Because maybe that’s why you have this baseline of anger – because you’re in the closet and it’s causing a lot of anxiety.
George: No, if I were gay, I would just be gay. I don’t have any problems with being gay. Why would you say that?
Me: Well, I get it if you did it once and decided it wasn’t your bag, but at some point, you went back for more, didn’t you and-
George: IT WAS THE 90’s!!
Me: And you’re very in touch with your feminine side – more so than I am- you've got all your products, you stole that scarf you gave me for Christmas -
George: This is ridic-
Me: And a lot of people think that I look like a lesbian and you like it when I dress mannish.
George: That wouldn’t even make any sense – if I were gay, I wouldn’t want to go out with a lesbian!
Me: So maybe that’s why you have this anger and resentment towards me because I have lesbian style!
George: I don't even know what we're talking about anymore!
George threw on the gayest scarf ever and marched out the door to a party.
