Hey, I've been a member for a while but never said anything till now. I'm not out to anyone yet, but I have a feeling that I'm bi. I love gay porn, but equally love straight and lesbian. Anyway...
My situation so far:
My laptop died the other week, and I got a new one, but I still wanted a lot of the data on the old one. So my best mate said to me he could try and recover some stuff, so of course I was wrapped! I thought I'd lost all my photos and music and had to start from scratch again.
*To put this into context, my best mate is the greatest friend I've had - and I've only known him for a couple of years. It's like we've got some sort of connection in that everything just seems so easy and fun around him, like no other friend I've had. And he's indicated (cause he's not the whole deep and meaningful expressive type) that he feels the same.*
So he comes over and tried to hack into my computer, and it dawns on me that if he recovers my hard drive, he may also discover beneath all those fake folders, my section of gay and bi porn.
He was having trouble but got close to accessing it, but he had to go home, so he asked if he could take it home and try to hack it there, and I couldn't say anything but say hesitantly yes, or else it would have raised suspscion that I was hiding something.
Anyway, he goes home and then later contacts me on MSN saying he accessed the hard drive! I thought that's amazing! But then he says, 'I found some other folders but they were in a whole lot of other folders'... my heart sank. I tried to palm him off and just told him to copy it all to his external hard drive and I'd get it from him later. So he does... Later on, he says, "hey I just saw the copying process.. there's a folder called, "Bareback_Blondes", wtf? you dirty dog!'... again my heart sunk, and I felt ill, so I just tell him, "lol, just don't look and copy! and get on with your uni work!"
By this time, I had to go out to a party, and on the way there was still thinking about what had just happened. So I wrote a text saying, 'Bro, you're might see some weird shit in those folders. I must apologise in advance and I'll explain it to you later. I'm so sorry.' I tossed and turned about the decision to send it to him, or should I just wait it out and see if he brings it up... I sent it.
That all happened yesterday. Today I open up my computer to see an offline message from him saying, "all done", as in the copying. I check to see the time he sent it, and it was 2 minutes before I sent the message when I was out.. Faark.
So I'm at work and he comes online to msn, and we chat and joke around, but I'm still feeling uneasy.. He then says, "oh bro, what did you mean by your text last night?" I didn't respond for a good 10 minutes cause I was frozen in fear and anxiety. I just said, oh don't worry, I'll explain tomorrow (I'm hanging with him tomorrow for lunch). He keeps going no about it, asking me to tell him, jokingly asking if it's nudie pics of girls we know or even of me (thankfully no). But I just keep telling him to let it go and I'll explain later. He said he didn't see anything too bad, so that confused me so much more.
And that's when it comes to now.
I'm pretty adamant that I'll come out to him tomorrow, and explain the whole thing, because I feel like I'm being so dishonest to myself by not telling someone, especially my best mate. But I'm so worried that he'll just be weired out and what we had as mates will be different. But I'm also hopeful he'll be cool about it, somehow.
Anyway, thank you for letting me air out this, it's been cathartic to express what's going on, the anxiety of seeing him tomorrow is getting the better of me.. Hopefully it will turn out good.
(and sorry for the enormous essay, lol)
