Hey Guys:
I was just curious to see if anyone on the forum has been involved with someone who is in either the music or entertainment industry. My first gay relationship was with a guy who was well known in music and television. Our relationship had evolved to the point of him insisting that I move in, quit my job and be with him at all times. Let me just say that there was no doubt that he was in love with me, however, he had a lot of female fans that were not aware of his sexual orientation and when he career reached to another level, it was advised by his manager to give me money to take care of the house and myself and just be there for him whenever he came home. Later on, his manager suggested that we break up and go our separate ways because he did not any reasons for anyone to suspect that he was actually gay. I still remember how he cried and hugged me throughout the night before I left to move on the next day. It took me a while to move on from him but I did come to realize that it was the best thing to do for his career during that time. In fact, the manager had even staged a "fake" relationship with a woman to make everything look genuine. Throughout the years, I had came in contact with him several times and I could tell that he still had feelings for me however, I had moved on and refused to get involved with another guy who was a part of the industry.
A couple of years ago, I went to visit my cousin in Los Angeles. He is an A&R person for a well known record company and while visiting him, he took me to a party that his company was having. While being introduced to my cousin's business partners, he pulled me away to a new artist that was in the development stage and wanted me to meet him. Once the introductions were made, this really hot guy lead me away from the crowd to a more secluded area and started a conversation with me. Come to find out, we had a lot in common and he was very impressed that I knew a lot about music. As the evening went on, I kept wondering if this guy was gay or straight or even a closet case. Needless to say, I did find a way to manage the subject in the conversation. I did reveal to him that I was gay, and he went on to say that he was straight. However, my "gaydar" was going off like crazy and I also noticed how his body language had changed from relaxed to timid in response to his sexuality.
Due to the fact that I feel that an individual should reveal that kind of information unless they feel they want to and I do not push the issue. However, he kept saying how I don't come off like a gay guy that he accustomed to seeing or being around because he has some gay friends and they have a good relationship. Anyway, towards the end of the evening, he gave me all of his contact information as I did as well. I really didn't expect to hear from him no time soon however, the next day, he invited me to the studio to hear him record a song for his upcoming CD. I soon realized how talented this guy was and the song he wrote was destined to become a huge hit once it hit the airwaves. After the recording session, we went to grab some food and continued talking into the late hours of the evening. After a couple of drinks, he admitted that he thought I was hot and was mesmerized when he saw me at the party. I decided not to interrupt him with the obvious and continued to let him speak his mind. He went on to admit that he was gay and that he was involved with someone for awhile and they broke up over a year ago.
To make a long story short, we kept in contact with each other and in order to show my appreciation for his honesty, I vowed to him that I would never tell anyone about his sexuality or mention that I knew him. After I return home, he would send me gifts, roses, etc. via Fed Ex quite frequent and he even sent for me to meet him in certain cities while he promoted his music. After a while, I begin to put some distance within the relationship because I started thinking about my previous experience, and did not want to go through that again. Even after I expressed this to him, he kept pursuing me with no hesitation. We kept seeing each other whenever we could and skyped, chatted on the Internet every single day. Last September, things came to an abrupt halt when his career started taking off faster than what was expected. Not only was he recognized for his great music, females were also taking note of his good looks and incredible body. So..guess what??...he was advised to stop seeing me or even keeping contact with me. Although he confessed that he had falling in love with me..he struggled with the decision to break up with me totally. I encouraged him to do what was necessary because I did not want to be the cause of difficulties within the progress of his career.
Recently, I have been seeing some of his videos and reading a lot about him and there are pictures of him always surrounded around women. Now, I can't help but wonder if he ever think of me...
So..what do you guys think?...I have condensed this as much as possible..and I would like to hear if any of you guys been in a similar situation.
