"Men's rights activists are pig misogynists,men don't have issues!"

When John (and the missus) moved away and I saw them for the last time, John had quite a meltdown.  It didn't register for many years with me just how deeply he cared for me (and as it turns out, vice versa) and I know it caught him by surprise too. (and her)   That slide into our emotional connection was so slow and gradual (taking years) neither of us noticed until the day they moved away. To my lasting regret, we didn't have our respective crying jags simultaneously, separated instead, by nearly ten years.  And I was moping over John off and on all along and didn't make the connection till it was rubbed in my face.

I think this has happened to many pairs of men over the years, and they never knew what they had with a special friend till it was gone . . . and sometimes not even then.  'Most' (many? some?) men don't realize they can be emotionally bisexual (or even emotionally homosexual) and physically heterosexual at the same time . . . .
