Should I tell my friend her husband's gay? My boyfriend and I are friends with this straight couple in their fifties, and whenever he has a few too many at one of our parties, he flirts with us like crazy. His wife's a good friend of ours, and we're wondering - should we tell her her king is a queen, or risk having her find out the hard way?\r\n
Do you ever do that thing where when you're talking to someone with a British or Australian accent, you suddenly find yourself speaking with a touch of a foreign lilt? Especially when you're drunk? Or when you're with people who are dressed really nicely while you're freeballing it in sweatpants, you kinda want to snazz it up a bit? Or when you're with a group of people who are snorting tons of blow and shooting off guns, you.......
We all have many facets to our personalities, and it sounds to me like cocktails at your place is the only time Mr. Suburbia ever gets to let his pretty side shine. He may indeed be gay or bi or whatever, but unless he crosses the line and reaches for your meat, I don't see any reason to run and tell Mommy. It won't do anything other than make her feel lousy, and will most likely put an unnecessary wart on your friendship. If it makes you uncomfortable, you should talk to him, not her. Besides, if he's that much of a flirt, chances are very good she's well aware of it already, and it could be a sore spot. Sticking an unsolicited nose in other people's marriages is never a good idea, and should only be done in case of emergency, which this is not.
I wouldn't do it. Even if he is gay, it's not right to out someone who's not ready to come out. Furthermore, don't forget what often happens to the bearer of bad news. You'll either end up losing both of them as friends OR you just might have a volunteer for a threesome!
No. She either knows or she doesn’t want to know. Do you tell your friends their babies are ugly too? How do you know a gay man doesn’t make the perfect husband? Now, if you know he’s cheating on her, with a man or a woman, that’s another question – a more complicated one at that.
