Really?

I'd spent the best part of a year in pursuit of a certain young lady, previously just a mate but now someone I was pretty hot for. Unfortunately, although she was up for the occasional bout of horizontal jogging, she claimed not to be interested in a "proper" relationship at that point of her life.

Then just when I thought I'd cracked it, and seemed to be persuading her, she goes and meets someone else while out of town, and returns with him in tow - immediately moving him into her house. So much for not wanting a relationship, then. At that point I bowed out of the chase, since it was clear it was never going to happen, and I wanted us to stay friends.

Annoyingly, the New Bloke turned out to be a really great guy, and despite my best efforts we became friends ourselves. So much so that, when their relationship broke down a couple of years later, it was ME that he chose to come to for tea and sympathy. Bastard.

Tea and sympathy?
Are you a uphill guardianist?

It's beer and jokes about what a slag she is to hide the pain inside, Shirley.

I don't know, are you?
I'm assuming you're male but am happy to be corrected.
I'm also not sure why you think what you are seeing is due to homosexuality.

"Really great guy", "tea and sympathy"? Is NO-ONE here up to date with their gay slang?
oh.

I think The Dr is a little too eager to find "closet homosexuals".
Kids today are "more sensitive" apparently.

You're not using enough lube, that's the problem.

They may not be full-blooded active homosexuals.
I suppose they could just be feeble castrated girly-men.

The fable is that the girls you like always end up with wankers
In my experience they are already/end up with pretty awesome blokes.

Just to be clear
"Tea and sympathy" was a shorthand. Clearly there was whiskey and slagging off involved too. I seem to remember him showing me naked pictures of her, too, as a sort of non-internet revenge porn.

"Really great guy" means someone I drink with in pubs, not someone who I'm regularly buried in 'Up To The Maker's Plate'.

Just to be clearer
getting tipsy and bitching about exes is what girls, gays and fey eunuch cuckolded nancyboys do.
