I am a bisexual guy and I have this "straight" married friend (he does not know I am bisexual). We've been friends for less than a year and have gotten very close. Over this time, he has made several commemts which makes me wonder if he was gay but does not know it.
Firstly, he keeps on talking to me about the issues he has with his wife who he jas been married to for only 2 months. At the end of each conversation, he always says that he'd rather be gay and be with a guy as his lofe would be easier. At one point, I randomly commented about his wife being complicated and he suddemly tells me that if me and him were in a gay relationship or married, his life would be so much easier. Overall, he always says that its easier being with me than with his wife.
Secondly, whenever we go drinking, just him and I, he frequently would end the night by saying that he has to go home now ptherwise his wife will think we were in a gay relationship.
Thirdly, at his bachelors party, we both were super drunk and got back to our AirBnB. We all had separate rooms but he asked if he could stay with me in my room (we had separate beds). Whats more is that, as we were going to bed, he started asking me about my threesome with 2 women. I simply told him the story of how I met both of them and ended up with them. However, he started prying and asking me about what they did to me, who was on top, whonwas sucking me, and who I came on and where did I cum. It was a bit awkward but I was too drunk to really care much then. I couldnt see of je was hard either as it was too dark.
The above conversation came up 2 other times we were drunk as well and he kept on prying on that sexual encounter and about wanting me to describe it in detail.
Fourth, there were several instances where we were both drunk while his wife was away, and he sked me to stay over and sleep in his bed with him though I said I was fine with the couch. Nothing happened though.
There was also one instance whike we were drunk (again) and he was sitting in hos couch and I was standing and he kept on telling me to sit and asking if I was afraid to sit because he might 'rape' me. He kept om repeating it until I actually sat down. Again, nothing happened.
Another instance, the two of us were drunknonce again and he wanted to know the type of porn I watched and wanted me to describe it.
Lastly, there are a few other things which make me think he is gay... like, he talks abput his ass being sore, he is very self conscious of his weight, he tries tonprove to me he was more in shape omce by sharing shirtless pics, he keeps on saying how amazing I am and wishes he were like me, he always is the first person to ping me during the day amd he pings me a lot (we work together) and he texts me a lot as well, and he is also a very emotional and dramatic guy. We also hang out a lot on a one on one basis.

Now... I know I talked a lot about how we were always drunk, and lately he hasnt wanted to drink with me and comes up with a lot of excuses (that he is drinking too much already with his wife, that he has tonlose weight, etc). But he still calls me while he is drinking alone sometimes or he still drinks with his wife.... he just doesnt want to drink with me anymore. I find this a jit strange now because it makes me wonder if he is starting to feel something that he never realised was there, hence he has started avoiding being drunk alone with me.


Soo... is he potentially gay or bi? There are so many signs yet at the same time, I have straight friends that would be interested in my sex life (but not to the detail he wants) or I slept next to in bed (but because we had no other choice). A part of me still believes he is straight because he definitely acts straight and is married (and maybe he is and thats fine) bit there are so many signs as well that he might be gay or at least, bi.

My take on this, in one paragraph. He’s probably bi, doesn’t know it or doesn’t want entertain the thought. He’s married a girl, but things aren’t quite as rosy as he thought they’d be. Now he’s having second thoughts.

Its just so hard to tell. I cant tell sometimes if he is also coming on to me or if he is just stating facts. Like a few days ago, we went for coffee and he repeated several times that we function so well together unlike with his wife (afer I helped him solve the issue he was having with his wife). But then, when i asked him yesterday to go for drinks, he made weird excuses about how he is cutting alcohol and his weight.... but then calls me while drinking alone because he had a long day... which makes me wonder why he does not want to drink with me in person. Why over the phone?
In a way, i do want to know because I think I am starting to get feelings for him and I've never felt this way for any of my other straight guy friends (who are actually even hotter than he is). At least I feel like there is an emotional connection. But again, maybe he is justan emotional straight guy and I M attracted to that, which is why I am finding reasons for him to be gay or bi.

Probably not gay, sounds curious but who knows..could possibly be gay in denial realising it isn’t working for him.

My “straight” best friend stripped off, begged me to fuck him (twice) THEN decided to tell me that he isn’t that way whatsoever and started inventing imaginary girls he was sleeping with to prove that he’s not afterwards.

People are weird. Tell yourself whatever you want to believe, invent whatever pretend version of your life you like..but it does seem a little bit silly thinking I’d be convinced by it enough to play along with the story after being balls deep in you surely? ‍♂️

He’s always known I’m bi, tried getting me to have a threeway a LOT with his ex etc before. Never talked much about private/sex stuff as a topic of conversation though…Why doesn’t your friend know you’re bi?

I think you should share with him that you are bi. That might hint him on your lgbtq+ stance and break this imaginary wall between you two. Maybe it will encourage him to confide in you as well (assuming you both are not ready to come out no matter where you are on the spectrum). Give it some time, and love. Do not rush it or force him into confessing anything but just be honest as it sounds like you have never talked about your m/m encounters (if any). I totally feel ya - having a good friend and the curiosity of being with him romantically...dream!

Drunk. And I was drunk. And he was drunk. And we were drunk.

How "good" of a friend is this, because it sounds to me like you are in an abusive relationship. Whether it's you abusing him or vice-versa it's not good.

He's married. End of story. Is he going to get divorced to be with you? What happens when this fantasy wears off?

If you want to be with a man who really wants you (and will tell you so) this guy isn't it. Move on. But first you have to figure out who YOU are before you can.

It is possible that anyone is bi or gay.

Some say we are living in the gayest times ever, which is true in a sense, but I think the same percentage of people have always been gay. The difference these days is people are much more out and mainstream with their sexuality.

MHO.

No question. he's gay but is having a hard time facing up to it.

Most of it seems like a guy who just wants a close guy to talk weird guy stuff with. The “asking to sleep in the same bed” is a little off.
The jokes seem like jokes. Asking about a threesome you had is nothing. I would ask my guy friend all about it if I knew he did.
Porn you like. Why not. Would you rather talk about ncaa brackets?
Seems like a guy who is searching for a close male friend to be comfortable around

Eh, I don't know. Being curious about the threesome makes sense but it sounds more like he wanted graphic details. I don't think a straight guy would be curious in that way.
The porn thing seems weird to me. NCAA brackets are an ordinary, generally acceptable topic, you can discuss them publicly. But porn is a very intimate thing to talk about, and it sounded like he wanted specifics and details. Maybe a comment like, "I'm bi but I only watch gay porn" or whatever would seem more normal, but still it would be kinda out of pocket.
I mean I totally see your point but this stuff seems like more than just buddies to me. Most definitely, "He wanted me to sleep in his bed while his wife was gone," is way beyond just friends

Yea. The bed thing for sure.

I dunno. I’m super curious about how a real life (not porn) threesome (both MMF and mfm) would play out. If I met someone who I considered a friend that told me they experienced it then I would def ask for details. But that’s also my personality. I want to know all the weird points along with the good parts.

Any guy who actually asks, "Do you think I'll rape you?" is suspicious in my book. Even if it is a joke, it's something that makes me recoil. Who says that?

Personally I'd ask him directly and save all the guessing. Either way something feels sinister here.

That said, he was probably getting off on the idea of a girl sucking someone, it just happened to be you. Alcohol is a great truth potion though.

So for me, his asking multiple times to sleep in the same bed, while his wife was away is the nail in the gay/bi coffin. There is a vast swath of straight men who would be deeply embarrassed about doing half the stuff he's done. I'm sure most straight guys would be fine sharing a decently large bed if there's no other choice, I mean that's not like an insane circumstance. But, calling you up while his wife is gone, asking you to stay the night, then REQUESTING that you share a bed. That is literally the first part of a gay hookup. Doing it more than once suggests he's just trying to get you into bed again since he couldn't the first time.

Now, alcohol seems to be involved a lot here so most of what he's done hasn't been very well reasoned. But still, this many instances form a clear pattern. Talking about porn a bit may be odd, but it's not that crazy. A threesome is something that a lot of people would probably be curious about. But to me, the way he was asking those questions kinda seems like he's fantasizing about you more than the other things.

That bachelor party story is definitely strange. I think that maybe when he requested you share a room he thought that there would only be one bed. I guess wanting to spend more time with a friend makes sense. But then launching into graphic questions about you having sex, while you were alone together, at night, doesn't seem like a common straight guy activity.

Maybe I'm overanalyzing a bit, I do that sometimes. Still, I think he's probably bi, possibly gay, at the absolute bare minimum he has some genuine curiosity about being with a man. Maybe he feels like he settled down too early before he really got to explore his sexuality. He could think of you as an outlet for his curiosity/attraction. The only thing is, if he doesn't know you're bi then he may think you're in a similar space as him, a guy who considers himself straight but has unresolved curiosity. I think you should consider coming out to him. It might make him more open to talking to you about his sexuality.

I 100% agree. Rape jokes are a red flag. At a minimum, it's some kind of weak self-control thing, and at the surface value, it's literally an indicator he doesn't care much about consent.

Directly might be a good idea. I mean it almost seems like he playing games.

Now, if he is actually straight then asking about the threesome would be explained away. It's a super common, pretty much stereotypical straight guy fantasy to have a threesome with 2 women. It's possible he didn't care at all that his friend was involved and that he was just picturing taking his place.

This is such an interesting story. I hope we get an update

Interesting story. He might be just Bi curious. A variety is often a good thing .
