Guy Sparks Drama By Going Ballistic That His GF Kissed A Woman As A Teen, She Can’t Believe It

There’s Pride month, Pride parades, and so much awareness about it. Yet, amidst us lurk the people who are anti-LGBTQ+. Some are unabashedly vocal about it (like a famous, rich author) while some hide behind a facade until their truth finally comes out.

Netizens believe that the original poster’s (OP) partner is definitely homophobic after his reaction to a silly thing she did as a teenager. The poor woman was utterly confused about the way that he behaved and vented online. Read on to find out what really triggered his anger!

    The poster thinks he is overreacting, but also wondered whether she shouldn’t have shared it with him

    Today’s story is about a dramatic conflict between a couple who have been together for 2 years now. They were chilling and chatting when the 28-year-old poster told her 34-year-old partner that 11 years ago, she had kissed a female friend. She was probably laughing about how she was just a 17-year-old at a party, having fun, but he took her expression as something else.

    Here’s where the drama starts because the guy went radio silent, and the next day, when they spoke about it, he called her bi. He ranted on about how he doesn’t want to be with a bi person as there’s already “competition from men”. Wow, way to jump to conclusions, right? Anyway, our lady is shocked by his extreme anger and keeps telling him she’s straight.

    However, it’s all falling on deaf ears as he can’t even look at her now. The man also thinks that the smile on her face when she narrated the incident proves that she thinks fondly of that memory. But, hey, it was a fun and wild moment for her, so, of course, she’s going to remember it fondly; it doesn’t mean she’s bi. Alas, looks like her partner is not smart enough to know this!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Now she is feeling completely lost about it, and even thinks that she should never have mentioned it in the first place. When she vented online, folks instantly jumped to the conclusion that he’s homophobic. While she has doubts about this, she can’t really picture him reacting the same way if she kissed a man.

    If you ask me, it’s not a big shocker what netizens are saying, considering that 25% of Americans were reported to be homophobic in 2022. In fact, research has also revealed that homophobes might be people still in the closet for a whole host of reasons.

    And look, while we can’t really pin that on the husband in this story, perhaps there’s something deeper or some hidden trauma, especially seeing as his own parents would call him “gay” for being into poetry.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The poster believes that it’s jealousy, while netizens felt that he has some deep-seated insecurity issues. It has been observed that jealousy and insecurity may stem from different traumatic life experiences, but these emotions are definitely not healthy in any relationship. 

    Many folks also advised that he really needed therapy if he is pondering something that happened before he entered her life, and it’s totally insignificant. After all, OP was just a teenager back then, and all teenagers do silly things and experiment while growing up. People also found it immature of him to completely stop talking to her over it.

    The poster also narrated how that is always the case, and how she has to go every time and convince him to communicate with her. Yikes, that sounds quite dreary! I have to say, people online are quite right. This doesn’t look like a relationship that will survive in the long run if he doesn’t get help for his issues and resolve them.

    Anyway, that’s my opinion. Now, we want to hear your thoughts and opinions about the story. Just type them away in the comments section!

    This happened to my sister. When she and her now husband started dating she was honest about being bisexual and he really struggled with it. I actually chuckled a little when I read the line about how he thought it was hard enough to compete with men and now had to worry about women because that's almost verbatim what her husband said. It's absolutely about insecurity and not understanding what being bisexual means. The insecurity they worked on together, and now he understands that bisexual people are no more likely to cheat than straight ones. He just didn't feel secure in their relationship at the time. The problem here is the partner won't talk about his feelings and isn't being honest about his insecurities. Unfortunately if they can't find a way to communicate about this the relationship is over.

    I wonder if part of it is, "So she likes women, like I like women, and given the choice, why is she with me, a man? Women are awesome!" Yeah, all of that needs to be explored honestly. And honestly, sometimes I wish I liked women. lol (I'm a woman.)

    The funny thing is that an awful lot of "explorations" that happened at boy scout camp, in locker rooms, on camping trips etc... are being actively suppressed by the very men who find it unconscionable that their girlfriends/wives could possibly have similar experiences.

    Why can’t he be both? People who are upset over non-issues in someone else’s past do, in fact, have a screw loose. These are the types of people you start keeping secrets from because you’re afraid of how they’ll react. They sυck infected donkey dіck.

    That’s actually a tactic used by abusers, where something casually mentioned is turned into a “I will never be able to look at you the same way “ abusers control victims through guilt and shame, often seeking to create shame over ridiculous things making the victim question themselves constantly and doubt their own perception. No way to tell from this post if that’s the case, he could just be insecure and homophobic , but it’s not like those are good things in a relationship. She should get the heck away from him.

    Boyfriend needs to grow up. OP also needs to realize he has big relationship killing trust issues as he worries about her being attracted to other men and -based on a single teenage antic - women. Seems like he's worried she'll cheat.

    Eeew! A rampant homophobe! And you must have TOUCHED it and everything! You know; before you knew! Get it out of your house before it builds a nasty homophobe nest and start attracting other homophobes, use a broom or whatever but keep it at a distance (they're fairly toxic). Do not let it establish itself; it starts with one homophobe living in the attic somewhere, and before you know it you've got crawling hordes of incels and wannabe "alpha males" all OVER the place! The time to act is now! Broom first - then a call Anticimex; homophobes and incels can be almost impossible to exterminate on your own. Leave it to the pros.

    I think OP should walk away. That little episode when she was 17 has proven a litmus test for homophobia. Would she want to spend her life with someone who can so easily turn his back on someone they love? It's far easier to act inhumanely with people he doesn't know.

    Run, girl, run. This is just a tip of the iceberg. He was upset because of jealousy, and you haven't really done anything. Imagine he will see something he will tractate as cheating while it's not (he's clearly crazy enough for that)? He might literally k**l you.
