What can I say , they ' re idiots sometimes . He jokes <| sep |> Well . It ' s hard to step backwards in your own personal journey . I was in the closet once too but couldn ' t be on the other side with someone . I ' ve already worked through all that for myself , you know ? That said it really sucks that he told you he was fine with these things when he really wasn ' t . Either he didn ' t realize it would bother him so much a failure of his introspection or he wasn ' t really honest with you about his feelings and just wanted you to make things easy for him at your own expense . I ' m sure that didn ' t feel good , and he wasn ' t willing to compromise with you to go to a neighboring town either which must have been frustrating . Sorry that you went through that better luck in your next dating adventure .
