My (26M) Roommate (28M) kissed me and I don't know what to do now.
So, for context, my roommate (28M) and I (26M) are both straight men. For privacy, I will call him RM, for roommate. Onto the background.
So, RM is an author — or, attempts to be one. He has a lot of potential but squanders it all on writing shitty porn for money. I have read, and still do read, his work. The skill is present, but he doesn't lean into it.
I am very rich. I don't understand what it's like to not have money or worry where my next meal will come from, and after a lot of introspection and discussion with him, I acknowledge this privilege. Monetarily, and familially, I am very lucky. This isn't to brag, or to say I have no struggles of my own (believe me, I do), but purely to add context.
I offered to pay his bills, etc., so he could write what he wanted but he refused most help because he didn't want to be "just some sugar baby" (???) — in the end, he only moved into my apartment and let me cover the rent.
We have been living together for 2.5 years now.
With the background out of the way, I'll get into why I actually made this post, now.
Last night, RM and I were having another argument over his writing. Since moving in, he has let me begun editing & beta reading his work. I have a formal degree in literature and editing, but don't do it for work. Needless to say, I know what I'm doing.
We argue a lot over his writing. Something about last night's fight was different, though. It was more tense than usual. Ever since the power went out last week — during which we had to share my bed for warmth — there has been a strange energy between us, and I guess it all bubbled over during this fight.
I don't even really remember the details. It was about a scene in which the tension between the protag of his novel and his latest love interest snapped and they fell into a passionate night. I expressed how unnatural it felt in context with the rest of the chapter, and how sudden, and that there needed to be more proper build-up. RM disagreed. I then pointed out the kissing itself and how unrealistic it was. We went back and forth like this a bit, egging each other on and arguing.
At one point, he said something along the lines of, "like you could do better," and I snapped back that maybe I could. He laughed and said he'd like to see my try and, without thinking — in the heat of the moment — said fine, go ahead. The silence was...deafening I tried to backpedal immediately when I realized what I said — again we are both straight men. I don't even know why my head went there, let alone why I said it.
After that, it gets fuzzy. All I remember is one second I was stumbling over my words trying to backpedal, the next we were on the couch and I was in his lap. I came back to my senses when he tried to take my shirt off and, as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've been hiding at my older brother's house since.
I don't want to go back home while my head is still such a mess, but I think my brother & his husband are starting to get sick of my intrusion.
Reddit, what do I do? He hasn't tried to contact me all day, or at all since I fled last night. I've never questioned my sexuality before, but now I don't know what to think. I'm straight, but...I didn't hate it?
I'm really at a loss.

Plain and simple, you need to talk to him. This isn't something that will just go away if you hide long enough. This needs real communication.

we are both straight men
Are you sure about that? Genuinely. Has he ever told you he's straight? Brought home girls? Anything concrete?
he hasn't tried to contact me
It's likely he's just as panicked as you are, OP. You seem like close friends and, sexuality aside, this complicates that friendship.
what do I do?
1. Breathe.
2. Thank your brother and BIL for their hospitality.
3. Go home and talk to your friend.
Regardless of the outcome, you both deserve an honest conversation with all your cards on the table. Especially if he's having an identity crisis of his own. Have some faith in your friendship and work through this together.

MY SPOUSES AND ONE COMMENT REQUESTED MORE SO IM BACK!!!
Shane and Ilya have been hooking up for a few years now. Whenever they meet up, it’s electric and needy and depraved. They don’t spend much, if any, time talking and cuddling afterwards. You would think that would give very little time for a certain Russian to study a man and yet….
He’s scrolling through Reddit one night, seeing if there are any new idiot forums for him to troll in (yes Ilya is an internet troll and I will be taking no further questions) when he stumbled upon something new and interesting. The video is blurred out but the caption…. The caption says “God I need someone with a big dick to fuck me stupid right now. Any takers?”
Ilya typically doesnt pay much attention to horny posts on Reddit, but something about this post calls to him like a siren. Maybe it’s the blurred outline of a slutty waist or it’s the fact he hasn’t gotten off since that morning but it doesn’t matter as he clicks through to the video and verifies his age.
Suddenly he sees a back, waist, and ass he’s spent years seeing, touching, learning. He grins to himself as the hands of the figure reach back and spread their ass cheeks to sink further onto the dildo in them. He feels the blood in his body rush south as the figures bounces get sloppier, thinking about what he would do if he was there.
How he would grab the figures waist and bounce them himself, making sure they take all 9 inches completely. How he would thrust into them just to hear the needy moans and whimpers they let out when he hits their favorite spots. How he would tell the figure how good they are at taking him, how much of a slut they are for his dick….
Ilya knows who this “figure” is. He knows all the freckles that line that back, he’s kissed them all too many times to count. He knows the sounds they make when they’re truly gone and desperate. Ilya knows, down to the very bones that make up his body, that this figure is none other than Shane Hollander. His rival. His competition. His walking wet dream.
Well now Ilya just has to decide what to do with this very interesting video he’s come across….

MY (40M) BOYFRIEND? (33M) IS IN LOVE WITH HIS BEST FRIEND (36M) AND IM THE THIRD WHEEL
I'm new to this reddit stuff, but a coworker suggested it, and I thought I'd give it a try. I probably should start saying he's not really my boyfriend??? We just started dating a few weeks ago, and it's been... interesting. But I really like him and he is a nice, sweet guy.
He recently came out, so I've been trying to be patient and understanding. But recently it's been hard to spend any time alone because his best friend is always there.
Now, I also like the guy, so I don't really mind, and to be honest, I kinda suspected from the first moment they were in love with each other. They both talk about each other all the time, and when we hang out together, I can't help but feel like intruding on an intimate moment I shouldn't be part of.
Like, our second date was at his sister's wedding and the best friend spent most of the time glued to our side. He has a son who my date adores, so they danced together for most of the party as well. It was cute, but again: it felt like intruding on a private moment.
Then we had a relaxing night at his place, eating take out on his couch and watching a movie.... when the best friend just, came in. No notice, no knocking. He has a key to the place and he just walked in. It was awkward at first but we insisted it wasn't a big deal so he stayed for tge rest of the night.
By the time I was leaving, my date was telling him to just get comfortable on the couch.
Another thing is. My date? Situationship? I don't know how to call it anymore. Well, I recently found out that he is the legal guardian of his best friend 's kid? In case anything happens? I wouldn’t find this weird at all if it wasn't for the fact this man has parents and sisters and other close family members that also have a less chance of dying along with him on the job. (They work together.)
Also. Recently, the best friend broke up with his girlfiend and called this guy in the middle of our date. So, he crashed again.
All of this to say, I'm not really hurt? This was new and sure, I like the guy. But to be honest my expectations were low. This is fairly recent, so it's not like my heart is broken and I just lost the love of my life. No, that's not the problem.
I just don't think these two know they're in love with each other, and it’s starting to get really uncomfortable for me. Should I say something? Should I talk with my date about it or just break things off and keep it vague, but that we should still be friends? Should I talk with both of them at the same time and confront the situation?
This is a situation I don't even know how to begin to get a handle on. Does anyone know where I should start?

to be honest, i don't really have any advice for you. i just find this gay drama really hilarious. thoughts and prayers for you, my man 🙏🏼🙏🏼
twohottakes • commented 6hrs ago
definitely have a conversation alone with your date. point all of this out to him and tell him you don't wanna get in the middle if there's deeper feelings involved for someone else. all the luck to you, man!

Hi, this is the first time I have ever done something like this, but I am tired of people around me, who are supposed to support me, tell me that I am wrong. So I come here where hopefully I will encounter wise and good people who will understand why I did this. I'm starting to doubt myself, but I must first give you all the context so you don't misunderstand it all like those in my life do.

I noticed that my coworker’s boyfriend seems more interested in me than in her. How should I bring this up?

how do i seduce someone who can’t take a hint??????
OR: reddit is not the best place for advice
Kay's comments: I'm always so delighted when I come across a well-done Reddit AU and this one was so much fun! We have Lan Wangji asking reddit for advise since he thinks his co-workers boyfriend is flirting with him and he doesn't want there to be any office drama. We have Wei Wuxian asking for advice since the guy he's been flirting with, his roommates co-worker, seems to be incredibly dense, and we have Mianmian, who's just so. tired. It was so much fun to read and the format was excellently used.
Excerpt: r/relationship_advice
@ HanguangJun
Update: My coworker’s boyfriend showed up to the office when she was not there and proceeded to spend the entire afternoon at my desk. Should I talk to her?
This is an update to my previous post. As the title describes, my coworker’s boyfriend pulled up a chair next to my desk and would not leave despite my repeated requests for him to. My coworker is at a conference this whole week, so there was no reason for him to be here. I believe this is an excessive amount of interest for him to be showing in someone other than his girlfriend, so I am seeking advice on how to discuss this matter with her despite suggestions to the contrary on my prior post.

A few day ago I read the funniest fanfic I ever seen, it was all written like it was a Reddit account, and the mc wrote about his entire relationship with his crush using subreddits like AITA or Relationship advice, and now the only thing I can think about it's an Ianthony AU were Shayne, searching for good stories about romantic stuff, finds an old anonymous account (Ian) wit a lot of post talking about his best friend (Anthony), and It's the most obvious shit you'll never read, and for some reason everyone knows about it (except Ian and Anthony), and it's just pure chaos.
Think about it:
"AITA if I don't wanna leave a proyect I created with my Best friend?" And then in the context it says "My Best friend is the person who wants to leave"
