Sadly, most married, closeted gay men are manipulative, narcissistic n artists who only thk about themselv wh only ocsnal feelgs of guilt and remorse.

Often is acpanied by doubt and self-blame, for example, "If I'd been enough of a woman (or man), he (or she) would not be gay. Sce all men and women have been raised siar cultur, they have rporated the “ials” of masculy whether they are gay, straight, bisexual, or other. But toxic masculy is not a uniquely heterosexual problem, and some straight women are or were married to very toxic gay men.

My closeted gay hband looks at me wh rentment and disda, and he ab me physilly, emotnally, and verbally. Projectn is fundamental to toxic masculy, and one of the characteristics is a disda for homosexualy which generat shame, self-hatred, and even gay bashg. One woman wrote, Don't tell me they don't know they're gay by the time they're their teens.
