Then you settled into a mono relationship. Can homosexuals do the same? I know the gay can be in relationships, living together and sharing the bills and taking turns cooking, and loving each other. Do gays become monogamous? Why do gays announce their preferance when nobody is asking?
To be honest, I haven't had this experience with those darn gays in my "real" life.
I have two family members who reside on opposite ends of the gayness spectrum from each other. (one's a homosexual, one's a lesbian) Both have been settled down into mono relationships since I was a teenager. In fact, one of them is happily married. So, yes, "gays" become monogamous.
As for the announcement thing, I've only ever seen it in the way you described online. I've only ever had people tell me that they are gay after I've known them for some time and they always told me in private conversations. It was more of a disclosure than an announcement. This has happened a few times. On the flip side of the coin, I've been introduced to gay people by mutual friends and had our mutual friend being the one making the announcement. Straight people have no discretion!
