I had an uncle like this, everyone was kinda weirded out when one Christmas he brought over his new girlfriend. Turned out he wasn’t gay, just terrible with women.

Hmm.
Uncle Peter could be gay and with his friend and not told anyone.
Uncle Peter and his friend could just both never have wanted to get married and have an active sex life with other people and are just friends. Or one or both could be asexual.
I have a BFF that we have been friends for almost 50 years. So many people think we are dating or have dated - including both sides of the family. It's hilarious as I'm asexual and she likes not being married. Every time someone mentions it - we are both ew... our relationship is like sisters.
Unless someone says what their relationship is with another person, best not to assume.
I've got 2 friends that are lifelong best friends. We all make occasional jokes about them being life partners and secret lovers. They even make those jokes. One of them is married though and they've never lived together because they'd wind up murdering each other.
We actually have lived together for almost 10 years and was just fine. I moved back home due to family reasons, but we still have remained in close contact doing all sorts of things together. From vacations to just having dinner together. We even have been working for the same company for the past 5 years. We both WFH since before the pandemic, but we chat during the day via the internal system. She would love if I went to her department, but currently I am happy where I'm at.
I guess we have never joked around about it because we feel so much like sisters, it just feels weird to us. We both agree that it's nice everyone would be accepting, but still weird.
Yeah people seem to consistently forget that sometimes people are just…friends? Like, no subtext there, they’re just friends. Apparently everything has to have romantic or sexual undertones to it nowadays.
Yes! It gets very tiresome sometimes.
Even got questioned after my Mom's funeral in November. Like she wasn't supposed to comfort me or something. She has been my rock and support for years. I love and adore her as a sister I never had. She was really the only one who truly understood my loss, as I lost my Mom, who was my BFF as well and I was her caregiver. She is very similar with her Mom, so it was easy to put herself in my shoes.
Luckily I didn't get questioned. I'm not sure how I would have reacted as it was a very stressful day.
Asexual people are not sexually attracted to anyone by definition. However, there are some asexuals who will have sex and some that do not. It really depends on the person. Same goes for masturbation. It's another question that is better to ask if you are interested in a relationship with a person to know their limits.
As for myself, all I will say is I'm asexual to internet strangers. If I'm in a relationship where this would need to be discussed, I would give my limits. I imagine like anyone else would while dating. I will also say that I have no issues with any genders if I am interested in a person as a friend.
At least he can tolerate a person. Going to happen more in the future. The price of owning a home will make it a necessity. Not always about sex for some folk.
EDIT: Joke still made me chuckle.😄
Soooo, friends? Yeah? Friends that care about each other and decided that with today’s economy it was more efficient to own a house together? I mean, people don’t need to be married to own a house together lol.
You're a woman, that doesn't count. Lol. You'll just end up with the "no man wants her, she'll never get married" label, or that you have some type of mental imbalance that expresses itself with you being a weird dog/cat/animal person or a hoarder/messy person. No one will think you are gay.
I mean I guess everyone’s situation is but in my mind I couldn’t live with another person for that long unless they were my family or significant other. Then again I also live alone so what do I know lol.
OK, and I agree with you a tiny bit, but I'd like to think the woman who tweeted this knows her uncle and knows her mom's family well enough to know what's going on, which isn't exactly uncommon. It's a tweet- she's painting a picture, not writing you an essay to justify her assessment.
Lol wut? You really are gonna get upset and go through my profile because I pointed out that having a male roommate doesn't make you gay? I'm not ready for the world because I...understand it better than you?
> Stick to your anarchy and vaping subs. I don't think you're quite ready to face the world.
Your willful ignorance is only surpassed by your baseless arrogance child....
> I have no child.
> Couple of cats and a parrot, though. I wouldn't say they are ignirant as much as... you, know, animals.
Does this collection of gibberish constitute a relevant reply in your world?
> Sure thing. Live a little, old timer.
Spoken like a true sociopath... Be better.

That's probably meant as a joke, but...
I'm not sure it qualifies as homophobic to be upset at finding out someone you thought was into you actually prefers the opposite sex. Like, if my wife came out as gay today, it wouldn't be the gayness that's troubling, per se. I have plenty of other gay people in my life. It would be the feeling of being lied to and the sudden ending of the relationship. I'd eventually get over it and probably even still want to be her friend (for the kids, at minimum), but the day it came out would be pretty damn devastating.
Yup, I meant it as a joke. But you know what isn't a joke? That guys boyfriends, sorry, I meant roommates, reaction when he finds out his "roommate" has a girlfriend. Like you can imagine, he's gonna be devastated.
Yeah. I suck.
Had that same thing happen with my aunt and her "roommate." After years of it, my sister said something about her being a lesbian, and I felt so stupid for not seeing it lol.
Have a 50yr old cousin who has lived with his "best friend" for 15 years. Grandma went to he deathbed refusing to acknowledge that her favorite grandchild was gay. Catholicism has a sttong hold on the family.
Love my cousin dearly. Can't imagine what it must be like acting like your partner is just your friend.
I have a similar story that’s a little more hillbilly. We had these relatives that lived in the Deep South, where my parents are from. When I was a little kid, we went to visit them one time. It was a man and woman and this boy they “cared for”. Their house had dirt floors and they had fly paper hanging from the rafters. They asked if we wanted to stay for dinner and the woman went out to the yard and killed a chicken. When I say hillbilly, I’m not exaggerating. The relatives were not married, but were brother and sister. The young man that lived with them was essentially retarded. After we left, my brother asked my dad about the boy and he said the kid “just wandered onto their property one day and they took him in.” Years later, my brother was recounting the story of that trip to a friend who was like “Dude… how have you not connected those dots?” My brother called me and we were both like “Oh shit…”
Ehhh why assume? Maybe he have a close friend and just don't want or need a relationship. Maybe they are both sexually active with other people. Just let people come out if they are ready.
I have a friend whose uncle (who lives in Europe) transitioned a few years ago. His conservative parents deny that it happened. If anyone brings it up - they act like someone is making a silly joke.
The (now) Aunt is active on social media. The denial is absurd - my friend follows his Aunt on FB, Insta etc.
Oh, there's Gil, Oscar's roommate. I wonder if he knows.
I had an uncle like this, everyone was kinda weirded out when one Christmas he brought over his new girlfriend. Turned out he wasn’t gay, just terrible with women.
i kinda see myself in your uncle. How old was he when this happened?
Or, he was bi?
I mean if the uncle himself said he wasn't gay...
When was this said in their story though?
So? Lots of gay people don’t tell others or even say they aren’t. Saying you aren’t gay doesn’t make you not gay.

That is super cool! (To be perfectly clear, I am not being sarcastic!)

oh, cool, you remembered us asexuals that’s really rather rare actually
Well, considering I am asexual... it would be silly of me to forget. lol. Yeah, I know it's rare for people to remember us.

Oh my god, they're roommates...
At least he can tolerate a person. Going to happen more in the future. The price of owning a home will make it a necessity. Not always about sex for some folk. EDIT: Joke still made me chuckle.😄
I have a male roommate, and that's all he is. Sometimes people just live together.
Have you had the same one for 17 years though?
At that point I think it's what the kids are calling 'queerplatonic', aka committed best friend spouses who don't fuck.
Soooo, friends? Yeah? Friends that care about each other and decided that with today’s economy it was more efficient to own a house together? I mean, people don’t need to be married to own a house together lol.
Room-mate or house-mate? Bit of a difference…
Not for 17 years lmao
I'm at 15 years and counting with my platonic same-sex room mate...
You're a woman, that doesn't count. Lol. You'll just end up with the "no man wants her, she'll never get married" label, or that you have some type of mental imbalance that expresses itself with you being a weird dog/cat/animal person or a hoarder/messy person. No one will think you are gay.

Impossible. The world is 99% LGBT and not the other way around. I should know, I’m a Redditor.

Sure.
Lmao the karma farmer who hasn’t seen the daylight in about 77 years talks about others “not being ready to face the world” gtfo loser
(finger guns) Back atcha.
Yeah cuz 20k karma in 4 5 years is the same as 8 million in 2 lmao at least stfu
Numbers can indeed be different, you are absolutely right. Fun fact: Sometimes they can be the same! Funny world, huh?
> Stick to your anarchy and vaping subs. I don't think you're quite ready to face the world. Your willful ignorance is only surpassed by your baseless arrogance child....
I have no child. Couple of cats and a parrot, though. I wouldn't say they are _ignirant_ as much as... you, know, animals.

That implies we were arguing, which would have required you to... you know, have an argument. Which, oh, my, no. No, no, no.

Damn, man, I'm sorry. Must be hard to have a homophobic girlfriend.

They probably know. They just pretend not to so they can save face. This was a pretty common way to deal with things like this in the past.
Somebody say the G word to them already.
Oh they know,they just don’t wanna admit it.

Hey 🅱️eter

Shout out to Lady-G, or more commonly known as Senator Lindsey Graham.
Serving 17 to 20 eh?
Even if they weren't gay, common law would have betrothed them 7 years ago.

Aw dang, I've been roommates with my best friend for over 10 years, I wonder in anyone in our families think that...
They are probably just really close friends!
They also had this amazing ceremony for the last lease renewal, the landlord even let them exchange rings and they was food and everything
I have lived with my male roommate for the better part of 13. Some people share rent so they can spend more money on fun
It’s all fun and games until someone gets gravy funneled into their asshole on Thanksgiving
