A Happy Gay Relationship

Matt was 19 years old. He had a year off from studying and had fun here and there but he was gonna start college soon. Matt was gay, but not many of his friends nor family members knew. Well, as he ain't feminine at the first place, not many regular folks would be able to tell that he was gay.

While Matt had his fun partying with his friends (straight) and doing adventurous stuffs such as mountain climbing, jungle trekking and etc, the only thing he didn't bother doing was to explore the gay scene. Well, let's just say that Matt didn't exactly had a very good experience the last time he explored. He was rejected and heart broken.

As Matt realized that it was almost time that he'd need to continue with his next phase of life, he realized that he should do something about to satisfy his curiosity to explore the gay scene further. Since Matt was in a laid back town, there was only a limited pool of gay guys around (not to mention old and ugly). His best choice to get acquainted to new people was the Internet. So he did the regular, signed up for a few gay networks, hooked up to mIRC and etc.

After a few weeks, he has got plenty of people interested to know him better. However, Matt wasn't exactly very interested in them till Joel came along. Joel contacted Matt via the gay portal and soon they started chatting on MSN and even on phone. Matt found out that Joel just broke up with his boyfriend not long ago. As time passed by, Joel invited Matt to visit his hometown which was located about 2 hours train ride south of where Matt stayed. Matt, adventurous as he was accepted the offer and that was the start of the journey he'd never forget in his life.

To cut to the chase, that meet-up joined both Joel and Matt together as a couple. Of course, that being said, they did the regular discussion of Big Bang theory and how to eat a banana properly debate and perhaps a few lessons in baking cream pies as well.

Matt and Joel grew together in their relationship as their phases of life passed as well. From students to working adults, things have always been a challenge to the regular folks and what more, to 2 young gays. As Matt and Joel moved out from their respective hometown and settled in a bigger city, their sexuality wasn't that much of a problem as people from the big city were more forgiving towards 'abnormalities'. However, there were always problems especially for 2 individuals to stay together. Obviously there would be conflicting point of views in doing things and preferences which happens to every couple be it straight or homosexual. Of course, those are minor ones.

The ones that were more prominent would definitely be the issue of loyalty, lust, cheating and etc which do happen in heterosexual relationships as well. But do bear in mind that in a gay relationship, these things happen twice as fast and frequent. All those issues however were in the past. Matt and Joel has now survived 4 years of steady strong loving relationship.

Today, Matt and Joel stays together with a few friends in their rented unit along with a dog. The king size bed Matt and Joel sleep on every night is a sign of the future commitments they are both gonna make which include purchase of car and their own place.

What's more to come? That's hard to tell as I've not seen my own future yet.

Of course, the happiness in this relationship ain't that much if you're to compare with a fairytale from Disney, but rest assured that many would see that this is indeed a bliss as 4 years of relationship for a gay couple since their early twenties till mid twenties (fuck, I'm reaching unclehood) is definitely rare.


This is 'Matt'
The reason why I wrote this post is to address that not all gays end up lonely in the end. There are always exceptions and that being said, what I've written previously aren't a 100% scenario but those are written from my observation of the local gay community at large.


This is 'Joel'
I believe my own relationship is a symbol of hope for young gay couples to be together as long as both parties are willing to tolerate and discuss all issues openly without the need to conceal and lie to each other. I shall share more in the near future on a few things we did in our relationship to make it last.
