I have always wanted to start a site. I wanted to talk about my life but I contemplated. Then I met Jay. Then I wanted to start a site for us. But I procrastinated. More than two years later, this is what I have now, a humble beginning. Just like any couples, we have been through many good and hard times together and this is one reason what this site is for: to put down our story in writing. So that this blog will witness our existence and hopefully we can flip through the archives one day and laugh at the silly things we did and be touched by Jay's heroic deed. Hi, I am Kay, we are boyfriends and this is the our story.
I'm Kay
Male. Smart and sentimental. 26yo. Enjoys movies (and porn) and reality shows. Sleeper. Uptight. Likes Robbie Williams. Has been to Singapore. Ogles at men. Just wants to be happy. Prefers to wear boxers. Selfless.
I'm Jay
Male. Sexy and studly. 29yo. Loves sushi and everything meat. Swimmer. Forgetful. Likes House music. Travels world over. Ogles at Kay. Want to be rich but not necessary famous. Likes not to wear underwear. Selfish.
These 2 days have been the longest days of my life. It is very heartbreaking to know that the unimaginable has happened and of course, difficult for me to accept the news.
It was after 10pm on Friday night and Jay still had not called. We would usually call one another from time to time, just to let each other know our whereabouts or just even to say hi. Then I called him and he answered the phone in a manner not as enthusiastic as he would always be.
There was a long silence after we said hello.
Is there anything wrong dear?
I don't know how to tell you this...
I already feared for the worst.
Tell me dear, I'm ready to hear.
After another short pause he said 'I don't know how to put this into words...'
I'm worried.
Worried about what dear?
You. And your future.
Why?
And he kept quiet.
Is it about our relationship?
Yes.
My heart sunk.
Are you seeing someone?
Yes.
Do I know him?
Yes you do.
Jason?
Yes.
I held myself from breaking into tears and kept on with a positive tone.
About 2 weeks ago Jay was talent spotted by a guy called Jason. He was specially happy and excited as I remembered getting a SMS from him: I'm very excited! Call me back okay?
I was happy for him too. This year has been going pretty smooth for him so far. A good, stable job with a good pay, bought a new place, and now being spotted for his talent. I haven't met Jason before but Jay has been meeting him occasionally to polish his talent and Jason has been coaching him in preparation to pass a test next weekend. I have no problem with them meeting often as I believe in Jay and seeing him having so much passion in developing his talent, I'm all supportive of him. Jay has also been telling me that Jason has been treating him nice like giving him personal training and even getting him dinner.
Are you sure he's not gay and going after you?
Nah, he's straight and has a girlfriend.
I wanted to believe his words but I had my theory. In the industry Jay's getting into, most of the guys are gay. Jason even asked Jay if he's ready to accept the gay environment and the people he'll be working with. Jay shrugged that off as just another normal question but I see that Jason is trying to figure out if Jay's gay too.
As Jay kept silent for most of the time and only answered in short words, I continued asking him questions as he felt that it's easier for him to say when I ask him rather than him explaining.
Did you sleep with him?
No.
I could not go on asking further. It was painful for me to ask and then anticipate an answer that only hurts. Jay took the courage and started talking.
I've wanted to tell you this but didn't. I don't want to drag it further. I've always loved you and still do. I want to hangout with you, have dinner with you, watch movies together...everything. But when it comes to intimacy, I don't feel it anymore. I don't know how to explain my feelings. I want you to be part of my life. I want to take care of you. You're very special to me. You're like part of me now but I don't feel the passion in our relationship anymore.
You mean in bed?
Yeah.
For the past few weeks, I have been making moves on him. All the antics I could think of, but Jay only responded lightly. Sex is like a burden to him more than fun. I thought he didn't quite like my adventurous spirit.
Is there anything we can do about our relationship?
I really don't know. Can we have a break?
What do you mean by a break? No seeing each other?
No, no. I just want to have some time to myself to think about it. Let's give me some time. I still want to call you and speak to you. Let's slow down. You can call me too but let's not meet first.
Will you be seeing Jason this weekend?
Yeah.
I told him that every single relationship is bound to encounter obstacles and it is up to the two to be honest with each other and be willing to resolve the problems together as one.
Do you want to sort it out dear? I'm very sure we can work and improve our relationship together, if you're willing to.
Can you give me a break first? I need to think and sort out my thoughts for a few days okay?
Okay dear. We'll give ourselves a few days. I'm hoping for the best for our relationship. I can't deny that I'm sad inside but I'm trying to be positive on this. Okay.
Are you going to consider Jason since he's confessed his interest in you?
Maybe. He's as nice as you Kay, just that he has a big ego like me too. I don't think he's the right one for me but I like his personality. It's not about Jason. It's not about you too. It's me and my feelings for you. I should have told you earlier before I met Jason so this wouldn't be because of him.
Actually I'm away visiting my grandma now. It's been 2 days since our conversation. We have been speaking on phone and through SMS but they are still not enough for me. We spoke about what we did and he also told me he met Jason for supper last night and breakfast this morning. When asked if he spoke to Jason about the issue he said he didn't want to discuss about it first. I know I should be giving him a break now but I just can't wait to know more about them. I just can't ignore the situation. I want to meet Jay. I'm thinking of him all the time, every minute, every second. I hold on to my phone so tight so that I know if there is a message from him or if he calls. I look at the clock on the wall so often that I feel that time is ticking so slowly. I can't wait to go back. I don't know if Jay is having fun now or if he's by himself. I don't know his whereabouts and what is he up to. I want to call him so often but I don't want to interrupt him as well since he requested a time-off. I try to stay positive and hope that all will end well.
What are you going to tell Jason? I'm sure he's waiting for an answer from you.
I'm not sure. I really don't know.
Did you tell him about me?
Yes. I was shocked when he held my hand in the car and confessed his love to me. In fact this was days ago. He asked if I was attached. I said yes. He asked about you and wanted to meet you.
Part of me felt betrayed when Jay said that Jason held his hand and he didn't tell me. Part of me also wanted to thank Jay for being honest with me. Though the news is late, but it's always better than never. I think I want to meet him too. I just want to be diplomatic and deal with the situation.
Maybe it's not the right time now.
Okay. I'll be going off to visit my grandma tomorrow. See you back on Sunday night. Please keep in touch okay, dear?
I spoke with calm as though everything would be alright. But deep inside me I was crying. I have no one I could turn to. Not my family, not my friends. That leaves me and our blog here.
Jay, I believe we can do something to our relationship. I don't want to be too pushy now but remember, there is nothing we cannot do. We can if there are willingness to improve and commitment on our relationship.
No matter what, dear, I want to tell you that I'm not going to let you go. I'm holding on tight to our relationship of 3 years and I promise to be your bestest boyfriend ever.
Comments:
I'm quite shocked really, but here's what I have to say.
Kay, I salute you for being calm, outside at least. There will always be ups and downs, try your best to save this one. Your love is real, and if it's channeled into a black hole that is Jay's heart, it's better to save it for another who will embrace and appreciate it.
As for Jay, sometimes passion dies. It's an inevitable part of any relationship at some point, and IS NOT an indication that things should end. You'd be surprise it's just a phase. Try try and try, you'll know when it's really gone. A decision to break up today, cannot be undone tomorrow.
Something similar happened to me years back and an old friend advised me to keep myself together, re-focus on yourself and don't kid yourself that things will be the same; the relationship will either be stronger or gone.Keep your chin up. Now, I am going for another smoke.
Kay, sweetie, I am sorry you are going through this. Know that you are NOT alone, there are people who care about you, I know you cannot confide in your family but there are others out here who feel for you and care for you that you can talk to.
Passion changes in a relationship. After three years you do not feel the same as when you first meet someone, whether in the bedroom or some other room. There is a feeling of excitement that comes with meeting someone new, and Jay is trying to recapture that with Jason I think. What I hope he realizes is that the excitement of meeting someone new is replaced by the day-to-day excitement of being with someone you love, which feels different but truly is so much better. Maybe what needs to happen is for you and Jay to take your relationship to a new level (by living together, maybe?) instead of just giving up.
As for this Jason...first, he is a fool, professing his "love" after two weeks of just flirting...I am sorry, that is not love, that is the excitement of meeting someone new. And second, to say he wants to meet you, well, once he knows Jay is attached if he doesn't back out of the picture, he is a bad person in my book. He wants to meet you? He is willing to break up a three-year relationship for his two weeks of lust? To hell with him.
Kay dear, please accept my hugs. Its a horrible thing to happen but its good to know you guys can talk it out. Whatever happens, just remember, that you must look after YOUR BEST INTEREST. Selfish as it may sound, your dignity & happiness comes first, always. If you need to talk/vent, just email me at androjane@gmail.com
The things that I want to say have already been said by the rest. When feelings are not as strong, it doesn't mean that the relationshop will end.
If that is the case, then Jay will never ever will find a long term boyfriend. I truly hope Jay realises that.
And it is indeed unfortunate that he should meet Jason at this time in the relationship.
For you Kay, I hope you stay strong and positive. I really hope that things will work out, after this so-called "break". Perhaps he does need to time to explore his feelings and what he wants.
This certainly hurts. Ouch. Come here for a hug. It's such a horrible thing to happen and I really hope you guys manage to work things out. Take care of yourself, K, and remembe rthat we're all here for you. Perhaps Jay just wants some time apart to work out some things in his head...
It struck me right from the beginning that this was supposed to be a Jay-and-Kay blog, but the only one ever blogging was you Kay.
When you blogged about the efforts you went to to hide his present, the ideas you had to make him feel really loved (something about a hot towel, etc), I couldn't help but wonder if he did the same thing for you too.
He says he loves you, but I just wonder if he has been taking you for granted all this time. I'm sure you must be a wonderful loving partner to have. You're sensitive, attentive and sweet.
But is he?
You should consider dumping him. You deserve better.
surfer - I have to admit that Jay is not so much of a sentimental person but I can assure you he's done so much more great things for me. He turned down an opportunity to work in Europe. He moved in closer to me so we could meet more frequent. He called me every night to say goodnight. I can say so many more so please don't say that he's worthless. Life is nothing without him. I deserve him.
