depotguy's blog post - Somethings in the air (NO...not my legs .....sheesh)

Three of my straight friend couples have broken up in the last three days. The cause.........


Itchy ring finger absentitis.



Oh boy....don't doubt for one second that it's real. We (as a society) send signals to women telling them they are not "finnished" until they get the ring. Little girls are taught to dream of "their" big day. It's just too much. It's not the girls fault.

And the boys....they don't fare much better. Most come from divorced families. They haven't had a good role model. Too many dads want to be friends instead of parents. They see their friends who got married right out of high school already divorced and stuck with child support that puts them in the poor house.

I see the pain. I'm right in the middle. Sometimes the best part of being gay is recognizing the balance of feminine and masculine in myself. When my friend "scott" just stopped by to drop something off (something i didn't even know I'd forgotten) I could see his eyes were full of hurt. I waited to see if he would start a conversation,but no, just too butch. So i just said "spill it....I know somethings up" And the whole story gushes out.

Maybe the goverment knows something I don't protecting me from this marriage stuff.
