Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

WELP! Since I have no clue how I’m going to ask my question without rambling on, I’ll just get straight to the point. Ok, so I’m a 22-year old college student, (but that really doesn’t matter). Anyways, although I’ve been attracted to guys my whole life. I just recently started dating men about two years ago and from the very beginning it’s been nothing but a pain!!!!!

I’ve been seeing this one guy in particular for about a year now and I really care about him but I don’t know if the feeling is mutual. For example, this past Valentine’s Day I went ALL OUT for him, but I didn’t even get a f***king card! Since we’ve been dating this dude HAS NOT paid for one single thing that we’ve done together. At one point I was sure that I wanted to be with him but it’s always a bunch of BS reasons why he’s, “not ready” (he’s not stable, he’s not happy in his life or some crap like that). But then he turns around and tells me I would make the perfect boyfriend. And a part of me wants to say, “Man, get the f**k out of here with that bull-ish,” but another part of me wants to believe him and just be patient because I care. Am I playing myself? I have NO CLUE what to do. Please Help Me -Dazed And Confused

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

I have been seeing a guy for two years now and he still hasn’t made us offical. He tells me I’m everything he wants but he still says he isn’t ready for a relationship. I know he talks to other females, but then gets mad at me for talking to other men.

I do love him and I want a future with him, but I am not too sure if my time with him is time well spent. We have a great time together, but the other woman, and especially his baby mama is putting me at my breaking point. I don’t know whether to stay or go. About a year ago he confessed to sleeping with his baby mama and then revealed a few months later that she was pregnant with their second child. He says he doesn’t love her, but their relationship isn’t sitting too well with me. All in all, I just need to know if this man really doesn’t want a relationship at all or just with me. Is it time to walk away or stay and see where this all goes? I’m confused and blinded by love. NEED GUIDANCE! Thanks for hearing me out. – Stay Or Go

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,


I really need your advice.

I’ve been with my boyfriend on and off for the last year and a half. We worked together and all was fine. However, we transferred and work at different locations. I really love him and he says he loves me too but I’m just not sure….

First of all: I have never gone to his house which he shares with his parents. And, every time I ask he just dismisses it or finds a way not to answer the question. I genuinely believe he does as he calls me most of the time and I hear them.

I have met his daughter on several occasions and she really likes me and I adore her too (he has her every weekend), but he hasn’t introduced me as his girlfriend to her. I’m just daddy’s friend.

We do everyday things like cinemas, dinner and weekends away but is this ever going to go further? I’ve spoken to him about it so many times but nothing changes and I’m starting to question if there’s a future. I am a strong believer in if you preserve then you can get what you want, but now I don’t know. Please advice me on my situation. – Hanging In There

Dear Gay Best Friend

I’m a thirty-five year old successful black man and I’ve never done this before. My sister reads your posts all the time on HelloBeautiful and she told me you would be the best person to come to for help. See I’ve been divorced for about two years. I cheated on my wife with her best friend and thought I was in love with the friend. I was so sure that I asked my wife for a divorce although she wanted to work it out.

Three months later I married her friend thinking this was where I was supposed to be but I was wrong. She got pregnant and it turned out that it wasn’t even my baby. Yes it was some, “You are not the father type bulls**t.” I’ve never been done so dirty in my life. By the way my stepfather turned out to be the father.

Anyway I ran into my ex wife about six months ago and we started hanging out again. We have this amazing friendship that somehow I missed out on when we were married. Rcently I’ve come to realize I still love her and I want her back. I know I messed up, but a brothas willing to beg like a fat man at KFC with no wallet.

To make matters worse she told me that at the time all our divorce drama was going on she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I feel like s**t now. I know she feels something for me but I can tell she’s still hurting. She’s in remission now but she’s so fragile and I don’t wanna force my feelings on her.

I know we belong together I just need her to trust me again. What do I do man? What do I do? I’VE BEEN A DAMN FOOL

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...


Dear Bossip,

I’m a seventeen year old virgin. I’ve started dating this twenty-nine year old rapper who has three kids.
He only started talking to me because I’m light-skin with a big chest. After awhile he learned that I actually had brains. I grew up taking care of myself and will be the first of my immediate family to graduate. Anywho, he’s beginning to talk marriage. I usually ignore it. For example, one night he asked, “What if I said I loved you?” And, I replied, “What if I said you were lying?” Did I mention he was HOT! He’s Light-skin, good hair, mixed, and a nice body. He has the whole rapper/thug going on. I know he isn’t good for me. Maybe because of my younger sexual abuse that I’ve dealt I’m so quick to fall. But the guys my age are cocky questionable and couldn’t hold an educated convo to save their skinny jean wearing polo braggin drug sellin, “I was born in ‘94 but I remember Tupac” wanna be thug lives. I don’t want to end up like my sister in and out of domestic violence with a new born baby. HELP! – Young And In  Love

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Hello Beautiful...

Dear Gay Best Friend,


My husband cheated on me a couple of years ago and as a result he had a daughter with this woman who claims to be our friend, and she was our Boss at one point. I found out when she served him papers for child support. I was devastated after six years of marriage. I wanted to call it off, but he convinced me that he did not want anything to do with them, and didn’t want to have a life with her only with me, and have a family of our own one day

Since he knew I didn’t want him to have any contact with the woman, but in order to know about his daughter, which looks a lot like him, he stared calling behind my back. I found out after I saw a text from her. We argued and he told me that he wanted to know his daughter and it was killing him inside missing time with her.

Finally, I made a decision. I went to talk to this lady in person and told her what my husband wanted and that I was 100% supportive as long as we stay clear of what the purpose is – which is the girl to know and build a relationship with her dad. She said yes to me. We meet and spend time with them. Everything was looking way to good to be true. My husband and I agreed he would only speak to her in front of me, and only about the girl. Unfortunately, things were too good to be true. It turns out this woman requested time alone with my husband, and for him to tell her if he really doesn’t want anything with her. And, if I’m around they were to get a code word so she knows when they are on the phone. He told me he called her from a friend’s cell so I wouldn’t see the numbers if I checked our lines. He claims this is the only way to end whatever doubts this woman has. I’m so frustrated and disappointed at myself and don’t know what to say anymore.

I want him to have a nice relationship with his daughter. She is only three and a half now, and I want to be strong to deal with this woman, but not like this again. How can I convince him to see that giving her that time alone or not having calls around me will make her think he still doesn’t respect me or give me my place? How can I put it in words that he can understand last? Note: They don’t have custody together yet – He Needs To Understand

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

Look I met this guy when i was 15 years old, he was about 24. I looked older than my age and i acted more mature.we hit it off the same night, and we both felt a connection, that same night he told me that he wasn’t with anyone.i stayed with him throughout the next 2 days, and i went back home.. We talked on the phone and our vibes clicked. I soon relized that he had a girlfriend beacuse he hung right away, without no explaintion, when i called back the number woun’t go through. My gut feeling told me he had a girlfiend. We met one day and i decided to take my friend with me, when we soon got off the train and met him with his friend he dissrepected me by saying,” Damn i think were gonna have to switch. I payed it no mind. But soon after we lost touch. BEing that i had one of his customers number i called he told me that he was probelly in jail. I looked in up, and i found him. We kept in touch and i vistied him as soon as i turned 18, i stole my fathers car almost about every week, and had the phone turned on so that he could call me.

I talked to him one day about his ex’s, and i said why dont you talk about them you could tell me anything, i guess he had got so used to talking about his ex that eveytime we talked he was telling me intamate deatils about her. i felt like -ish, but i couldn’t tell him to stop, so being the hard headed person that i am i decided to do dumb stuff like get a boyfirend and talk about him to make him feel like i felt. Only matters got worse i some what got it stuck in my head that if i strip mybe the topic of our converstaion could be about me. things only gotten worse from there. He got out of jail to only be in a halfway house.i felt like -ish beacuse his mother would say why dont you get anthor girl, right in front of my face.

i swear when i was pregent i told him to tell her to bring me some of my favorite food she cooked, but to only expect the opposite. This women hated me so much that she offered me some soda, to only shake it up while she was in the fridge to only handed it to me. His older sister was the worse, she brought one of her hood rats friends in there and that same day they sat from across each other to only embraress me. HE was talking about how he wanted to marriend me, and how i was the one for him, to only look at her the whole entire time that he was talking. His older sister was making side jokes and laughing , and taking -ish with that girl, which were shots at me.when the visit was over i guess she gave him a hug,

He wanted to met at the side store and i was like yeah. I left home beacuse you could only image how i felt.At that time i was going to school to achive my dreams in the music bussissens , and soon after with my first abortion, i just felt depress and lost and i broke down and started not to got to school. When he got out i told him to prole to his mother house beacuse i wanted to know her and i wanted her to like me. BUt matters only got worse, his mother kicked me out of his house one time, and used me to get rides, mostly without giving me money for gas. This was where i first time he smaked me in my face, beacuse of any aurgument we had. His older sister and everyone else in the living room heard the aurgument.

When things died down she came in the kitchen smiling asking me if somthing was wrong. I wanted to leave i tryed to fight my way out the kitchen out the back door and left but he only took my keys. i walked around and he followed me, I slept at his mother house that same day only to be hiding under the covers int he morning. Soon after we were in a store with him and his mother looking for somthing to wear to a play, we were having a converstaion about church i told him that we should go to church and he still getting an addittuite and speaking loud saying i don’t go to church, i don’t do that since i was little. I felt embraress and i guess he took notice of that and asked me if i wanted him to payfor the dress. I said no beacuse i was angry. then about sometime after that we were in KHOLES long story short he told me he lost his phone so i told him to use the phone in the front to call his celluar, he told me to go look in the car. When i pull up i see that he speaking to a girl, then when he gets in the car i told him why you speaking to her for he told me that he used her phone to call his number to see where his phone was. We wernt to the barber shop, and he told me he left it there. i let it slide, and swepted it under the rug.
look i found a condom in his pocket on my birthday, and i just cried out and jump in my bed. he jumped right next to me and told me that a comdom truck was passing them out. i told him to leave and he was walking away, i dont know why i called him back. i got pregent and had a son, by that time it was misery  i was working at cvs and ive had gotten sick , i asked him to take me to the hospital, and it turned out that i had a 102 degree fever. He was upset and told me that i owed him 100 dollers because i made him come here and stay with me, so thats why he wasn’t able to hustle. i was working all the way up till my due date. my back hurted i was miserable, and after i got off of work at 10 i had to come home and make him some food to eat. One night i relized that he wouldn’t let his phone off by his side, so i asked him to ket me brorrow it, he didnt so i told my mom at 6 oclock in the morning to ask him she we have a ouse phone beacuse when he was in jail, we ran up the bill. He gave my mom the phone and i went downstairs to go through his phone, i found pictures of a girl who wasn’t he as pretty as me, but was showing her “privates” in one of the photos, it hurt me beacuse here i am pregent, working, stressed out, my mother wount even speak to me beacuse i was with him, i was in pain..some how i got over it after 2 and a half months.

Now we were at walmart , and this ugly tall girl he always looks at evrytime we go there, he finally got the chance to ask her about my baby could read. i backed off, and he ended up across the floor and called me over to come with him to check out the product, he quickly turns around and follows the girl and i wasn’t going to follow him, what i look like a dog, it was about sometime i decided to look for him, i seen them walking togher and he was foloowing her, he looked at me and said we cant find it. then she was across the room giving him eye contact like its here, we walked over there. He got close to her but she baccked awy he did it agiain, and she backed away again . i was upset and angry.we fought that night and he hit me in my face and in front of my mother. we broke up.. i love him..i took him back..beacuse he had called me to pick him up.. he is about to go to jail on some drug case, but i think that he’s unsure if i want to stay with him, i do, but i want to see if he changes what are your thoughts and tell me what you think about it. – Confused About My Man

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

Well, I’ve been with my husband for five years, but we’ve been married for two year. But, I’ve also been with my lover for two years who is a female. I care for one more than the other. The reason I married my husband is because I thought I was doing the right for our son, knowing how I felt for her. I’ve tried fixing things with my husband. We’ll do good for awhile, but then we’ll be back at square one not getting nothing right. Then, I find myself back with her because things gets done, like family things should be and done with a partner. I just hurt knowing that I grew up with my dad and he showed his girls how a man treats a woman, a real man. I thought that’s what I had and I’m tired of waiting on him to get there, especially knowing that I can get that on the other side. I’ve really tried telling him what’s wrong it but it goes in one ear and out the other. What is a girl to do if she can go to the other side to get what she wants? – Stuck In Turmoil

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Hello Beautiful...

Dear Gay Best Friend,


I was so scared to write to you because you are brutally honest.

Anyway, I am a 23-year old black female and have been married since I was 19 years old. My husband is 27 now. He was 23 when we got married. Yeah I know I was young, but I love my man. I really do. I’d do anything for him and he knows it but I think he uses that to his advantage. Don’t get me wrong I am not an angel.

First, I moved from Seattle to Boston at 19, quit my job, left college (but am back in school now here in Boston). I have no family or true friends here in Boston. My mom does not agree with my decisions but her and I have been having problems since the beginning of time. She’s 38 and I am 23. We fight like sisters. But back to my man. When we first started things were ok, but things changed quickly. We started fighting. He had anger and trust issues because of his past. He was emotionally abusive and that took a while to stop, but he did. Things got really rocky when I missed my family so much that I moved back west for 6 months. When I came back to Boston, things were even worse, but we worked thru it. It was the worst time of my life. I cried like every day. Remember I said I ain’t no angel but I am not a cheater or a liar. I just talk a lot of -ish when am being attacked. I mean I take low blows when I feel like I am being attacked and I have a hard time listening when I am mad. Mind you, I did not have a father figure so I really did not know how a man is supposed to treat a woman.

Long story short, the beginning of this year things were almost perfect. I mean I’ve never been happier with him. But all that changes when we have little normal disagreement. When I mess up like any human would and he verbally attacks me like he used to (not as bad though) I do not take low blows like I used to. I tell him how I feel in a mature way, but he uses that as ammo and keeps saying he’s tired of this -ish, he can’t do this -ish, and if I can’t deal with things, “just leave me dog,” (those are his exact words). It’s freaking hurtful to hear that after all I’ve put up with. And, it’s a lot – from spitting in my face (that was the very beginning of our relationship) to pouring water on my hair, to calling me all sort of names, and some pushing. I threw dishes at him when he did that and he called the cops on me, but he was the one who went to jail cause he was making a scene at our condo complex.

Anyways, I am just so confused and I finally got my dignity back to stand up to him and tell him as it is. But, all he keeps saying is just leave me, or if you can’t handle what I expect from you then you should have never been with me. I do everything from cooking, cleaning, getting him ready for work, looking cute for him, buying gifts, watch games with him. I mean I do everything from my heart… I am his homie and lover. And, I really don’t mind doing those things as long as I get the love and respect I give him). Then he goes on saying that he hates me. It’s so hard for him to apologize. I mean I don’t expect perfection but damn can I get respect?

OMG! He also complains about the littlest things. Like, if the house is a lil messy, not dirty (he’s a clean freak but I am not), he starts saying I need to clean the entire house from dusting to taking down spider webs that I can’t see but he can. He just wants the house spotless. I HATE it when he does that because I do me. And, when I do clean he pretty much goes over the whole house to make sure it’s clean. I just leave and have a cigarette.

I’ve matured over the years with him, but it’s like why do I keep hearing this -ish of just leave me dog or I hate you? I mean I hear that at least once a week. I never ever say -ish like that to him. I am at the point of really taking him serious and leaving. I have a hard time making that decision because when I went back home to see my family, I left him with no job (he was collecting unemployment) and he had to pay all the rent and utilities on that unemployment check. I mean it’s not like the check was little. He could survive, but ever since I left, he uses that against me so much that I can’t decide on leaving. But, I am at the point of  “F” it… whatever.” But, when he comes around to his senses he always finds a way to my heart again. I mean always.

I ask myself why do I let him do this. Is it the sex, his car, his swagger, the lifestyle? I am not bragging about us but people envy us. We are both attractive. I’ve fought women over him and vice-versa. And, we do well for our age. So, it’s like should I walk away with my respect or should I stay. I love him so much though. I am so confused. I am independent. I pay my own bills. I have my own car, and pay for my school. So, it’s not like he really supports me. Please help!!! Confused Young Wife

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice With Bossip....

Dear Bossip,

I am writing you because I have an issue that I just cannot shake in my relationship. My man has a wandering eye. Like not just some wandering eye, but like a gross infatuation of some sort. It seems like every time we’re out and he sees a pretty woman he stares at her or would try and sneak glances. It is becoming very repetitive and I’m to the point where I don’t even want to go anywhere with him. I fear that maybe he hasn’t quite found what he is looking for in a woman. I don’t think he has cheated on me, but guys these days are so unpredictable and sneaky you never know.

I have found some questionable text messages before we were officially a couple so I really couldn’t get too upset. I know that he does have female friends, but I don’t know the full extent of their relationship, but he will talk to me about them so I don’t know what to think about that. I don’t know much. He does look through my phone and tries to find things to validate any wrong doings on his part that I feel. But, I always tell him there’s nothing in my phone that I can’t explain nor am I on the defense about it. I network a lot because I have a small business and I want to keep people on a business friendly level. I’ve NEVER stepped outside of this relationship, but his behavior makes me question if he has or is looking to.

This situation makes me not trust him. I’m still young and at a point where I’m confident in what I want, and if it means letting him go then I’m willing to do it. I feel like I’m starting to dumb myself down. I won’t stoop on his level. I’d rather leave his ass high and dry missing the best thing he’s never had.

I am 26 years old and he is three years younger than me and I am gradually coming to the conclusion that maybe I need to fall back and let him be a young man and explore his options. I want marriage and children in the next 5-10 years and I’m just not for wasting any time on someone who doesn’t see my full worth or is looking for the next best thing.

When I approach him about the situation he gets defensive or will deny it which only makes me more mad because I’m not blind, and my eyes are where they are supposed to be, on him. He is all I see. My love, my supposed to be man, but that is never reciprocated in the presence of another beautiful woman. I tell him if he’s that type of man at least have some type of respect and don’t do it when with me. It makes me look very STUPID to people who catch on to it and to the female he stares at, and it makes him look trifling. I talk about guys who stare at me when they are with their woman, and behold I have that type of man. When I got into this relationship, I knew what I was getting into dealing with a younger man, and that there may be some mature issues. But, dealing with him was different. I thought that he was a little more mature than most guys at his age because he has a daughter and has a really great job, and is very responsible and for the most part he has a good head on his shoulders. However, the wandering eye I cannot deal with, especially if he’s gonna deny the fact that he even does it or doesn’t want to talk it out or make me feel less worthless.

Tons of thoughts go through my head. It makes me feel insecure, not good enough, and what does he see in her. Everyone has the right to acknowledge beauty. There’s nothing wrong with that. I would appreciate it more if he would even say it to me like hey baby that lady was pretty or she is beautiful. Like I said, I don’t have a problem with acknowledging beauty, but the staring for long periods of time makes me wonder what he’s thinking about. Is he imagining himself with someone else? I just don’t know anymore, but I’m tired of beating this dead horse. I can only imagine what goes on when I’m not around. I know that he loves me, but this issue really turns me off. That’s totally not a quality that I DO NOT want in my man. I even tried doing the same to him. He didn’t like it, but his behavior didn’t change. No matter how many times I acknowledge this issue and how it makes me feel he doesn’t change his behavior. Am I making too much of this? Do I need to try a different approach? Is it that big of a deal? Is this normal behavior for men? Or, do I need to let him be free? Please inspire me, guide me in the right direction. – Ms. Epiphany

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

I’ve been with my boyfriend for four and a half years and our relationship has not progressed at all. I know that my bad relationship with his mom has something to do with it.

The first time I met her me and my boyfriend were going to his coworkers wedding. So I met him at his house. By the way, he’s twenty-eight almost twenty-nine years old, and his thirty-three year old brother still lives with their parents, which I think is a turnoff since I’m thirty and I have my own place. But anyway, when I met her she smiled and was very pleasant until she handed me a wool scarf in ninety degree weather and told me to cover up the top of my dress, which I do have large breasts, but there was no cleavage showing. But, I guess she could tell how big they are through the dress. This made me feel uncomfortable and when my boyfriend came in the room she said, “Look what I gave your girlfriend? I gave her a gift already.” At that moment I realized she was trying to manipulate him into thinking she liked me, but in all actuality she never liked me.

After a while I soon realized my boyfriend was naive and has been manipulated by his mom his whole life. He tells me the reason why he lives at home is because his mother loves him so much and she doesn’t want him to leave, but I know the real reason she wants him there is because his brother doesn’t work, doesn’t have a car or a cell phone and his father doesn’t work. The only people that work are my boyfriend and his mother, so she depends on him so she can take three or four expensive trips a year, get new carpet through the whole house, new windows, new siding for the house, renovated kitchen and bathroom, etc. He’s been telling me that we are going on a trip every year and it never happens because he has to pay for her trips. She uses him because she feels he does things for me financially, so it’s like a competition which is very childish to me. I don’t like his brother because he stole my boyfriend’s income tax check and went shopping with it. He used my boyfriend’s name on several occasions because he drives his baby mother’s car with no license and gets pulled over. And, then my boyfriend gets letters in the mail telling him he has court dates where he has to take off from work for this. What’s more bizarre is the fact that he doesn’t even confront his brother about these things. That’s another turn-off – he’s weak and doesn’t stand up for himself.

The biggest issue for me is the fact that I’ve expressed to him that I want to get married and start having kids. His response is he wants to make sure he’s ready. He’s been telling me this same thing for years, and now I realize it’s just an excuse. I already act like we are married, for example when he comes over I have a hot meal ready for him. I run his bath, and I basically do everything to please him because I want him to be happy, but I’ve realized he’s not trying to make me happy with what I want. I’ve found myself lately thinking why is he with me? Because it seems like he doesn’t want to start a family, get married or anything that shows commitment to me. Am I just a game to him? Could it be because his mom doesn’t like me? I don’t know what to think, but I know one thing I’m not happy, but I love him. But I know something just ain’t right. Please help. I need advice. – His Momma, Family, Or Me

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Hello Beautiful...

Dear Gay Best Friend,


I was hot between the legs and now I’m in a hot mess! I’m trying to have a sense of humor but really I just want to cry. This is the thing, I’m 6 weeks pregnant, 24 years old, and have 2 more semesters left in college. I’m studying to get my bachelors in finance and I’m happy to be almost done! My graduation date is May 2012 and my baby due date is April 2012. The guy that I’m pregnant by is 27 years old, has a degree in accounting but the dummy doesn’t use his degree. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t work at all now, doesn’t have his own place (he’s at his moms), and has no car. I have a 2-bedroom townhouse, a vehicle, job, school, and trying to start up my business which may have to wait until after I graduate because I have no money to put into my business now.

I always said that I wanted to wait until I’m 30 years old or close before having a baby and I wanted to be married. So, this is not want I wanted at all. The time me and this guy had sex, I knew he skeeted in me so I took a Plan B pill two or three days later, so I thought I was good. But, weeks later I discovered that nope, I’m not good, got pregnant anyway!! Yes it’s my fault for opening my legs with no protection. I know, but still I thought the Plan B was going to save me. I have no diseases. I had an annual exam 2 weeks before having sex with him and another STD test after I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago.

When I told him I was pregnant he was happy, very emotionally supportive. He went to a family get together and even passed up alcohol because he said that he wanted to do this with me and wanted to be sober for the next 50 years for his child. He already addresses the baby by a name that he created, but to me all this don’t mean nothing because he don’t have no money! So, I’ll get to the point.  Here it is – He has a bright idea to go to New York, hit one of the avenues (as he says) and look for work. He has no money to go and he is on his way out there on a bicycle, not a motorcycle but the kind with the pedals. We live in Texas! He said it will take him a week or two to get there but the only reason he is going is because he doesn’t want to work out here. Now, he feels it’s the time to follow his dream and make some money for his baby on the way. He said that he will talk with me daily and will start sending money as he makes it and will be back in time for the baby’s birth.

Personally I think this is the dumbest crap ever and I feel like damn, what did I get myself into? I don’t want to be a single parent. If I did I wouldn’t have had 2 abortions in the past, one when I was 20 and again at 21. I know I know. But, I feel like I may need to get another one and keep my legs closed for real until I’m married to the type of man that fits me. A man that has his stuff together!

Now this guy that I’m pregnant by said that if he stays here in Texas, he’s just going to be at my house with the baby. He’s not going to work because he’s already looked out here and it’s no jobs. Okay, we live in Houston. It’s plenty of jobs. I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. I told him that I don’t take care of grown men and if he want to live with me, he need to be paying something and he also need to get a car because I have my own schedule and I need to be handling my business. My success is very important to me and I can’t let a man slow me down. He’s supposed to add to me not take away. I don’t know what to do because he says that he wants to get married by the time the baby comes. He says all other women are off limits to him now because he finally got what he wanted and if he cheats on me he’ll be cheating on his child. He says 20 years from now if someone asks him who the last person he had sex with, it’ll still be me.

I mean all this sound good, but on the financial end he’s not bringing anything to the table. He’s not even being realistic to think that he can go to New York and make a nice chunk of money within 8 months. I told him just use his degree and work here and then we can move together after I graduate. At least by then we would have time to find a spot to live and have jobs lined up. We can go prepared instead of him leaving me pregnant and going out there without anything and no place to live, no money for food, nothing.

I don’t want to get another abortion because I feel that it would kill me emotionally, but I don’t want to be with a bum. But, then I also don’t want to be a single mother but those are looking like my options right now. But then again you never know he may succeed at what he’s aiming for in New York and come back with a ring and some money! Yeah right. He wants to be in the entertainment industry now, but I feel that it’s too late for that. He needs to use his degree and possibly start a business later on or something. How does he expect to make it entertainment now?

If I get an abortion I probably will never speak to him again. I would just move on with my life and be sure to never get in a situation like this again. I might not even have sex again until I’m married. But if I keep the child, I don’t know what I’ll do. I guess just continue with my goals, love the child, educate the child, and not let the child stop my success but instead motivate me for more but it’ll be sad not to have the dad around I think. I don’t know, please enlighten me. – Child Or No Child

Today Is, "Straight From Your Gay Best Friend" Advice Day With Bossip...

Dear Bossip,

I’m a young female (20-years old) and my incarcerated boyfriend is 20-years old as well. I have known him since elementary school. We “play-play” dated ever since elementary. Now that we are older and more mature, we can differentiate like from love. I’ve dated other people but it was never anything serious. I know I love my boyfriend, in fact I think he’s the only guy I ever loved.

He was locked up for 4 months before I found out. The only reason I found out was because I searched our city jail database and nothing came up and I decided to check the state prison database and found him. We officially started dating again since he’s been in prison. He said I was the only person that wrote him and his sister was the reason he was sent there. She set him up so he ended up violating probation and getting incarcerated. I don’t have a single doubt about the way he feels for me. When we were younger we both lived in Florida until his family moved to Georgia. We kept in touch the whole time. His family always jokes that we might as well get married because of our 12 year history together. He said that I’m the only one he wants to be with and he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He gets out the end of 2012 and I have been making living arrangements for us.

My concern is that are we too young to get married? I met a girl who was in a similar situation. She married young and has been married for 5 years and has a child with her husband. She says her and her husband know that they have grown apart but will not leave each other because they spent so much time together and that they are afraid to move on with other people. Her dad always told her not to spend too much time in a relationship with one person at such a young age and now she understands why. In addition, my boyfriend always had to provide for himself and that’s why he makes the wrong decisions and gets locked up. I’m not justifying his actions, but I understand why he does what he does. This is another reason why I wanna be here for him because if he knows he has someone that has his back he can finally relax and enjoy a “normal” life. But again am I sacrificing too much to help a lover in need? I just want the best for him and I genuinely am in love with him. Any advice? – Too Young Or Not

Rapper The Game Says "There Are Gay Rappers In Hip Hop And He's Seen Them"

Check out this interesting interview with rapper The Game as he discusses gay rappers in Hip Hop. He states that he's seen them and that he notices how they watch other men. Calls them, "Man fans." And, check out the :54 mark of the video when The Game takes my quote that I wrote for XXL a few months ago - "Who runs the world? Gays!"

Dear Bossip,

I have a 40-something year old male friend that’s in the closet and on the Down Low (DL). We dated for a little while, but I could tell something was off. He’s a wanna-be thug and wants to maintain his “reputation.” Once, while in the middle of sex, I felt his stroke was not quite right. No matter what I did nothing ever worked. So, finally I asked and he revealed to me that he’s gay and on the DL. I told him I figured he was. The problem is not his orientation but the fact that he wants me to lie to others about “us.” He tells people I’m on him and I fight other females for him. He even told people that I’m currently pregnant with his child which isn’t true. Chile please, I’m dating this great heterosexual guy that adores me. While I want to remain friends with my ex, I’m finding it impossible to do so. What should I do about the lies the DL dude is telling? Outta Pocket Trying To Make Me His Beard
