Want to live forever with your best friend of same sex?

I'm realizing that the only person I'm really close to in my life is my male best friend from highschool. I want to move to Nashville and live with him forever. I'm straight but have never had a real relationship with a woman. I want to live with him and see if we can apply for a marriage liscense. I'm not gay, and I'm not here so that you can convince me. At the very least I'm not sexually attracted to him but he is the only person in my life I have loved or felt love from. My mother tried to kill herself in front of me and my father was always at work. I haven't been in any satisfying relationships in college and I want to go back and be with him.

    let me expalin something very carefully--i ahve a cousin that i grew up with.neither one of us is gay in fact we've dated the same girls before and we've double dated,etc/.
    he and i can talk about things that other guys would say we were gay because we even discuss them. this cousin and i have identical interests.how we differ from most people is that we have not one ounce of macho in our bones.we don't bitch about stuff like most guys do and we like having fun!! he's disabled due to a sleep disorder and as it turns out i also have a slep disorder.probably why we became so close from our youth.we enjoy identically the same music,movies,personal beliefs,etc/.we're both quiet not cocky,not macho,and don't mind showing the feminine side of man by talking about beautiful flowers or a colorful sunset or how the moon shines over the lake..we aren't the least bit attracted to each other,we're not gay and we do see and date women./we just happen to have more iin common with each other than any woman we ever dated(so far).and he and i are in our 30's and have been best buds since early teens..we never experimented with homoism either so don't even go there people.so anyway i perfectly understand where you're cominjg from.i wish my cousin and i could live together cause qwe'd be out having fun every night(we both are night people and love to hang and play around on the cb radios and cruise and just hang out all night)..anyway..best of luck and i think your normal

    okay so...you claim you are not gay but want to marry him? it seems pretty clear that you are gay. stop lying to yourself and come out of the closet!

    How does he feel about you? Does he want you to come live with him?

    aw thats real nice :] its always nice to hear about somebody having someone so close to them. it warms my heart! but enuf about my fuzzy feelings..i think your completely normal. i feel the same about my best friend of the same sex. she means everything to me. it pisses me off tho, that because your a guy, society has certain standards for yous, more so than girls..like how you say, you wana get married to him? ppl will def call you gay. but like if i wanted to get married to my best friend (which we HAVE contemplated over domestic partnership lol) it would be okay cuz were girls? hunni i understand what your saying. you love him more than anything and that emotional attatchment to the only thing you feel was ever tru to you is something you couldnt even think about giving up. so maybe thats why you wana marry him? and also cuz if he marries someone else, it wont be just you and him anymore right? your normal. just try not to struggle with your emotions so much sweetie. your awesome:] talk to me somehow if u need to..and if u can.... i definately just signed up for this ..idk how all of it works yet lol

    Some people have exceptions. You can be straight yet have 1 or 2 exceptions that are a different gender.

    These feelings are more normal than people realize. Like others have said, it is the bounds of a homocentric society that has made this "gay." While it may not be a great idea to get married, that desire does not indicate homosexuality.

    I've begun a small support website for people experiencing these confusing feelings. http://were-not-gay.tumblr.com/

    There are different types of love. I think its fine and if you both agree, you should. It seems that you are just emotionally in love, which is the best type of love, and not phsically in love aswell.

    Unless you want to ruin your friendship with him, I wouldn't try it. Doing so may cause some serious strain in your friendship and could even end it depending on what he thinks.
