Every now and then I get a letter, or two and sometimes 50. A few months ago I answered some on this blog, mostly dealing with relationships, both peachy ones and cheating skeezy ones.
A couple of times I seemed to get letters about finding an email account, or some porn, or something that indicated cheating by a partner in a "committed" relationship.
Imagine the fun of seeing something of the same letter in this weeks Savage Love column. Imagine.
"I'm a 27-year-old gay man in a three-year relationship. My boyfriend has always been the mature one, I the immature one. Yesterday, I discovered he has a special e-mail account to look for sex with strangers. I saw chats and other evidence of cheating. We are not having safe sex since quite a long time. We are planning to start living together soon. He has always told me that he is incapable of cheating and many times said that if one of us would fail and cheat, it would be me.
I haven't talked to him. I cannot sleep.
Help My Disappointed Heart
Your boyfriend is a manipulative POS. He wanted the freedom to fuck other guys but didn't want his boyfriend to enjoy the same freedom. So he made you feel like you were the problem—he convinced you that you were the immature one and that you were the one most likely to cheat, he maliciously undermined your self-esteem—so that you would be too busy worrying about and scrutinizing your own shortcomings to notice his. DTMFA."
And here I thought you were ripping Savage off.
