To think a relationship wouldn’t be easier just because you’re the same sex?

Honestly in my case being with a woman is a hell of a lot easier! Also a clean break from penises, literally, and figuratively, if you have come to associate them with all the worst attributes and experiences of the men you've dated. I've been married to a woman for a decade, never patronised, never humiliated, never taken for granted, never presumed to do the 'womens work'...everything is discussed and figured out as part of a team. Sure there are men like that (like gold dust) and there are controlling women out there too and quite a lot of same sex relationships can fall into completely heteronormative patterns anyway. But I can see her perspective as reasonable.. I basically chose no more men for a host of very good reasons from my own experiences. Back then it was bad form to say you chose because it was important to say it was not a choice in order to prove it was legitimate and natural. I was bi as a teen and gradually became gayer. Whether that was a growing up thing or a result of the shitness of (particular) men I don't know. In the end though, it felt like a choice based on where pain came from and where happiness came from so I actively looked for a female life partner cause it seemed sensible that would be a higher chance of decent human. ThenI met my wife, who is absolutely wonderful. Hope your friend find happiness one way or another too.

This is insane. I've dated both men and women and in my experience, the 'pink pound' gay women won't even look at you unless you own your own home. One of my best friends is gay, a successful solicitor and renting with another solicitor, saving for a home of her own. She is stunning and a lovely person, but gets rejected due to not owning a home.

Then a relationship she had a couple of years ago, the woman was in fact married.

People are people, neither men or women are angels! It's down to the person

They were probably scared they might get their teeth punched right down their throats if they didn't agree with you 😉

Oh, and this little gem: How do you cook if neither of you have a wife?

I have had several straight male friends of mine who made such comments like: I must feel lucky to be gay and have a boyfriend to play computer games with me all day and have sex with each other all night. Not sure where they got that idea from, not from me😂

Can't understand it either.

Lol! It’s easy to see why people think that, but having been in relationships wirh both genders I can say for certain she is definitely wrong!
