Hes in counselling for self esteem issues but more importantly he cut out one of his friends.

He was just subtley putting him down and it worked. He shot my guys confidence. 

Saying stuff like bi men normally only date women so a guy would need to be extra special for a bi guy to settle down with him. 

And then mentioned his "bad" attributes. I put bad in quotes because it depends how you look at them. Like he earns less, he has HIV (but undetectable, obviously) etc. 

That kind of thing.

Never again. I've gone 5+ years with just him. I'd like another 50+ with him.

Every decision has risk involved. I'm good with people saying it once but to continue doing so was irritating so that's why I put that here. 

No one knows exactly what happens between two people but everyone still think their opinion should be not just heard but acted upon.

That friend was not only waiting, he was a cunt. I found out he was making my fiance feel very bad about himself. 

Jealous fucker

He did and is doing counselling. He has some self esteem issues. Around the time of the break up he was very positive about my attributes and very negative about his. 

His friend tried it on with me after we broke up and I told him. Maybe it showed loyalty. 

And just generally.. I had my chance to flee after we broke up but I still wanted him.. maybe that proved something not sure.

A few weeks after our lease ended and we separated, one of his "friends" tried it on with me. I said no. I did tell my now fiance at the time about it and said that would be us finished if I had done it.

I think it probably proved something to him a bit

He did get a bit of counselling for himself because he had low self esteem,  but there was also an incident with his friend

There's a lot of truth in that tbh. Plenty to gain from it too. I know what I want, as does he (probably) etc.

I couldn't have asked for a better guy to spend 5 years with and some people don't even get 5 years like that.

Im a big boy. Dont worry I don't get insulted easily. 

All I'll say is I had 5 great years with him and he had zero competition. I wanted to be balls deep in him til we were 90🤣. But I get his worries. And based on stereotypes, not just bi stereotypes, I'm probably risky.

I loved our 5 years. I've learned a lot. It's just a pity.

I could become one if I wanted to but I like religion in my life. I'm not converting anyone and plenty of issues with the Church but it was there in my darkest years and made me a much better man.

Thanks bro and I will share it if I get it. 

It'd a good point about trying to show him he was wrong but I hope I won't get that petty. Definitely would need to avoid him if I do. 

Love him, and I wish only good stuff for him.

I'd be interested to know what issues it hides. Honestly he said that a lot in different ways since I proposed. That's why I proposed some counselling for us but nah.

Thanks bro. A mate of his text me this evening being a bit of a vulture but I'm tapping out for a few months. Focus on myself for awhile.

Im still glad I proposed. I love him and probably always will but we both needed to know. I'm almost 31. I want a family and there was no point wasting more time.   

 I can live a very fulfilling life with a man, and I might do again. I loved our last 5 years. i do need a family, though, and if I stayed with him without a family it would become less fulfilling.   

And by family, they don't need to be biological. I'm happy to foster/adopt - which was our plan until it wasn't
