For me, I had a mom and dad who would have 1000% supported me.

Kids in Catholic school don't have that support. I've thought a lot about this thread. My situation is unique in that I had both a mom and dad who would have had my back - all I had to do was say the word. I can't imagine what it was like for catholic school boys living with their...for a lack of a better word...partners.

I lived a normal life outside of my relationships. I would say I compartmentalized, but that isn't true, because my home life and my relationship life intertwined as the first guy would have dinner with us and spend time with my family.
