If you are reading this post, it will make much more sense if you go and read Super Annoying Step-Brother first.
About a month before I found out that Jay is gay, we went to my in-law’s home for dinner. Super annoying Step-Brother was going to be there with his partner of nearly 10 years which was fine with me. We hadn’t seen them in about 5 years so I thought it might be nice to visit. Super annoying Step-Brother never bothered me as much as he bothered Jay. Everything seemed fine with Step-Brother and his partner. I have always liked his partner more than I like him. He’s much more interesting and not as pretentious. The kids played with them fine and all was well. About a week later, we found out that they broke up. Weird I thought. They seemed great. Not at all like they were pretending to be in love. Oh well.
When I found out about Jay’s secret past involvement with Step-Brother I had an “Ah-ha!” moment. I started analyzing everything in my teeny little brain. Step-Brother had not been able to get Jay back all of those years ago. It was hard for Step-brother to see Jay that day, all happy and playing daddy and good hubby and all. I think he was convinced finally that Jay is hetero and happy and free from the gay demons that tried to posess him during his early teen years. Step-Brother was not able to get rid of his demons and I think he wanted to. After all, I still do not believe anyone would choose to be gay and if you have read my previous posts you’ll remember that Step-Brother dated my best friend (to be closer to Jay in my opinion) and he also dated women in college before he came out. (He was even engaged once.) I honestly think this was painful for him. I honestly believe he has always loved my husband. Jay is a great guy after all. I think he realized he loves Jay and that he couldn’t be with his partner until he figured things out. Of course he doesn’t know is that Jay is really gay. I think it will be most embarrassing for Jay to admit to Step-Brother that he is gay. Jay also confessed to me that he thought his mom suspected that he and Step-Brother were messing around when they were young. When Jay told his mom that he had a girlfriend her reply was “Thank God because I thought you might be gay.” Not that she isn’t very open-minded. But don’t you think that even if you have the openest mind in the world it is still a shock to hear your own child is a homosexual?
Who knows, maybe I have a wild imagination and all of this is just coincidence. But I think someday I’ll know for sure. If you knew Step-Brother you’d see that he always has an agenda, always wants what is best for him, and he lies a lot and gets caught. He’s so full of shit that it’s hard for me to ever know when he is telling the truth and being genuine.
