    Ok not sure how to put this but here I go . Everyttime I see a couple of straight people together it makes me feel a bit sick, if he touches her it makes me feel repulsed, weather its on the streets or on tv. It seems so wrong to me but at the same time I'm thinking shouldn't I want that. What's going on with me ? Am I normal ? Am I phobic or something ? I dont know any thoughts would be helpful !!

    I used to feel that way as well. I don't anymore though because I realized that I was jealous. It wasn't repulsion, rather it was jealousy that straight people could fawn over the opposite sex, or be so affectionate with who they were with and I knew I would never be seen that way if I had a partner of the same sex.

    Hmmm... well maybe you're a bit heterophobic then? Straight couples have every right to show affection to each other.~<3

    EDIT: Maybe you were sexually abused and touch from a guy brings you back to that place?

    How forceful?

    And it is normal to feel like a straight couple is a bit odd when you like the same sex. Similar to how straight folk view homosexuality. They don't understand why we're this way, and vice versa.

    Wow! This is one of the reasons women are better LoL :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: It's unfortunate that happened to you! I think maybe in time you will get alittle more used to seeing affectionate straight couples and realize that being neither straight or gay is odd. :slight_smile:

    Yh I agree with u there. My ex I suppose has made me think that all men are the same. But I guess I'm just gonna have to take it as it comes. But what ever does happen I'm gay for life , I can't be with them it feels right being with a women, natural

    I understand what you mean. My ex boyfriend was abusive to me and I haven't really looked at men the same since, but women are just so beautiful and caring! :slight_smile:

    No problem dear. I'm glad I could help in any way. :kiss:

    Maybe once the pain from your past relationship has dulled, you will find men less detestable, but maybe not. Maybe the cut was too deep. I think you will be healthier and happier once you heal fully, and maybe it will change your views on other relationships someday. ~<3

    I think u summed it up perfectly. I do need to heal and maybe I won't be so repulsed by straight relationships but I think I'm always gonna have a bit of a problem with men

    I've trusted women far more than men for as long as I can remember, but even more so after the abuse. I'm so glad I was able to help. Only time will tell, but if women make you happy, pursue that happiness, because happiness is rare so when you find it hold onto it and don't let go. I hope you heal from past relationships as much as possible so your future partner will be able to have all of you as they will deserve and for your own happiness as well. ~<3

    You're jealous. I feel like that a lot. It's happening less and less because I'm just over the point of worrying about it. I won't be dating anytime soon, so I just don't want to worry about it as much.

    You'll be ok. Just realize that your time with come!!!!
