Not sure

I don't know what is the best way to write this post, so I'll just write it out as is.

A bit of explanation for the previous post...

A friend of my boyfriend maybe is somewhat uncertain about his sexuality.  He seems to have a major boy crush on my boyfriend.  And yes, he knows that I exist (we met in person).

I don't have problems at all being friends with people who could go either way.  I have friends like that and I've never had any awkward moments....or anything.

I think that whatever you decide is your own decision and as long as you don't force it upon other people, more power to you.

But in this particular incident, I think he took it too far.

I woke up and I started seeing posts about him and 'his wife' (aka my boyfriend) - hanging out, going about town......ok, to be clear, they did not do anything; in fact, they just hung out like normal friends would.  BUT.  There were two issues that bothered me -- A LOT.

1) He called my boyfriend 'his wife'
2) He sexualized to the nth degree very ordinary social activities as if to make a point about the relationship he has with my boyfriend

What exactly is the point he was trying to make about this relationship, I have no idea, precisely because:

1) There is no special relationship - they are just friends
2) My boyfriend considers him as a good friend and that is that
3) My boyfriend is a man - the heterosexual kind - meaning he only like girls - i.e. me, the girlfriend
4) There can never be any kind of relationship beyond what he has now, that is, friendship - and it's the innocent kind

......Which leads me to the name calling thing: My boyfriend is a healthy, heterosexual male who is committed to his girlfriend ---- therefore, he is not your wife.

So stop calling it that.  What kind of point are you trying to prove? 

There, I said it.  I vented.  And this will stop.
