    I have being going out with him for three monnths and I am seriously thinking of breaking it off. Ok he is a lovely guy, ever so sweet and very kind to everyone and goes out of his way to help people. However over the last few weeks it has made me so angry. We are two males by the way. He goes on facebook all the time and tells people to say prayers for his dog who needed surgery, and how he was almost in tears when his dog choked on it's food (my bf is 23) he goes on to say also in his status updates how 'i love my mam and my sis xxxxxxxxx' infact evey message conssits of x. He accepts people he doesn't even know on facebook because it would be 'mean' not too. Anyway I have had enough, I am the complete opposite of this and he is making me cringe, I need a man who is strong and not acting like a pussy!

    I'm a straight female so not really qualified to give you advice, but I think that nice guys, gay, straight or otherwise should be appreciated. OP, if you aren't getting along with your bf or you don't feel he's for you only 3 months in then let him find somebody who suits him better. Good luck.

    Your boyfriend seems very sensitive and obviously this isn't something you are attracted to. I don't think it's something that you can change so you're best off chatting to him and letting him know it's not working out with him. Sooner rather than later, as it's obviously p!ssing you off.

    So your bfs personality irritates you? Time to call it a day, neither of you is in the wrong, youre just not suited.

    "acting like a pussy" said in such a derogative manner????? What does this mean? You insulting women?

    He sounds nice, you don't so maybe it's better to let him meet someone nice

    its a fair point, harsh and not pc but honest.

    OP hes just not going to change. If hes not what your looking for in a partner i personally would look elswhere before becoming too attached.

    Hey OP,
    I understand where you're coming from. He does seem like a nice guy but way too open and sensitive for you. It's an attraction thing, if it's bothering too much I think you're going to have to break it off. I'm gay as well and was seeing a guy for 2 weeks, but loads of the stuff he said made me cringe. He was just too feminine.

    No more than a woman acting like a preteen boy would keep me interested, a man acting like a preteen girl will never keep you interested.

    Thats the nature of the beast he is a sweet guy with a big heart. I wonder does he feel the same way but afraid to hurt your feelings
