The vibe I got from the guy I was mentioning in my previous posting was that he saw his life largely as a failure. He married a divorced woman with a kid, never had any kids of his own, had a successful career but now basically admits that he failed because in his day and time lacked the guts to do what he really wanted to do.

I understand the guys who once used to mess around with other dudes, but caved in to the call of conformism and chose the safer way of getting accepted. Now, if they go back to their old underground routine, and you obviously know about him, he ain't really breaking a major news to you.

For a dude who spent all his life being str8 only to blurt it all out to someone who is very disinterested, and hence blow up his cover for apparently no good reason, is what took me by surprise.
