<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">Q.</span> </span>My gay lover invited me to his office Christmas party. His co-workers don't know he's a sissy. So, we attended the function as buddies, not lovers. But one of his drunk colleagues figured us out. And he made jokes about those "two sissies."
I expected my lover to speak up for us and cuss out his co-worker. But instead, my cowardly man fled and left me to be taunted for being gay!
I felt so ashamed. And I don't know if I can forgive my guy for leaving me to fend for myself at his office party. My man is 30 and I am 28. We've been a couple for a year. I don't think either of us looks gay. We're not flamboyant and "womanish" But my man's co-worker picked up on our gayness. And he called us every rude name for "sissy" you could think of. I wanted to cuss him. But I didn't think it was my place to do so, since I was a guest. My lover has since apologised to me. But I'm still very upset about it.
