Boyfriend acts ''gayish'' but says he's straight?

So, I always wanted a guy that was strong and that could protect me and all that... And now, I'm with someone that doesn't quite fit my expectations. He is really attentive and protective and even get jealous of my male friends but I feel really insecure about some of his behavior . He says he is really sure about his sexuality and says he loves me but also tells me to not expect him to change a thing about himself. Sometimes things get really tough between us and I think about breaking up but then I feel really guilty because he is not like other guys. With all the ''gayish'' moves he has, also comes his sensitivity. And, as I said, I've thought about breaking up with him because one of the things I couldn't deal with would be my family joking about him/us on his/our back (that I know they will - because they are somewhat homophobic). is it possible for him to eventually lose those moves and way of talking (like a girl)?

  • From what you've said, I have no idea what he's like. What is a "gayish" move?

    Sorry if this sounds harsh but here it goes...

    This is more a reflection on you. You can't expect to have the perfect man. He doesn't exist. When you tell someone you love them, it means you love them for all of them. All their flaws, shortcomings, quirks, low points...all of them.

    From what you have said, it doesn't sound like you love him. If you did, you wouldn't want to change him. Since you do, I recommend breaking up, honestly.

    Good luck to you.

  • I don't understand how one can "act" gay except for sucking a d*** or something. Our ideas of what a gay person looks like and acts like is socially constructed. Be happy that you have a guy who doesn't let restrictive codes of masculinity define him.

    • My thoughts exactly!

  • First of all, that video is hilarious - I love it, thanks.

    Secondly I act 100x gayer than how your boyfriend probably does, I just wore a kilt made out of a jacket to school. No, there was nothing underneath it, I do whatever I like because I'm comfortable with my sexuality, I'm not scared of being gay or turning gay and there's nothing anybody could do to change that - I assume your boyfriend's the same way. If you'd dump him to accommodate for your family's homophobia, please do - he deserves better.

  • So you think he's straight. I knew a guy that married, later he divorced because he was GAY!

  • Wow, time for a new guy.

  • Maybe he's just being silly about it. Feminine behavior and actions don't necessarily have to appear "gay".

  • you sound like a douche tbh. Break up with him, for his sake

  • He might be bisexual?

    • not sure, because he says he's straight

  • If his 'gayish' behavior really bothers you and you care what your family thinks about him that much then leave him

    you can't expect people to change even when he said so

    • Let them make fun of him, why should we get mad at him for nothing but not mad at them for hate.
