Are gay men capable of monogamy?

[EvenOlderButWiser]

Well that went down like a lead ballon! (The meeting, not my 12 hour flight LoL)

I left things for a day to allow for jet lag, and just had a general catch up with family etc. Sat him down Sunday afternoon (after he refused to come out for lunch) and almost immediately he got hostile and abusive. Not unexpected, but the name calling took me by surprise and was hurtful. All the usual bull - everyone else's fault, work pressure, family issues, low self esteem. Bla-bla-bla.....

I had already booked (and paid for) a couples counciling session for us for Monday afternoon as I've been so concerned at his recent behaviour and his abusive attitude towards me. Needless to say he blew that out too ("nothing wrong with him, but maybe I need some help" -his words)

So it's over, and I've given him a month to get his stuff together and move out. I feel strangly calm and relieved that its over, though I'm sure it will hit me when I get back on the plane on Thursday.

Time to recharge my batteries and take some time out I think. Thanks everyone for the earlier messages.
