    This was a product of a workshop at film school in my first semester, with a 5-student team and peanuts in funds. I recognize that the quality/caliber is low, but I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the love it has received on UA-cam. Sending a big hug to each and every one of you. Ax

    Trying to maintain a relationship with someone that is perpetually insecure can be really exhausting and untimately not worth the constant upset.

      Agreed. I believe is not worth the effort to make it work. If there's trust in that relationship.🤷‍♂️

    The muscle guy did not apologize...the skinny guy did....MAJOR RED FLAG

    • @micaharchive
      @micaharchive 2 роки тому

      The muscle guy simply had lunch with someone. The insecure guy apologized because it was his insecurity that triggered the fight. He also took several cheap shots unprovoked. Your insecurity is your responsibility first and foremost because you communicate fear/concern without being a dick lol

    When the person who has been hurt by another ends up being the one who says "I'm sorry". Problem not solved.

    • @MikeAlabbasi
      @MikeAlabbasi 5 років тому +41

      You got this right.
      I mean the first guy apologised for being too sensitive; but what about the other guy? Shouldn't he apologise for being inconsiderate, irrational, and for hurting his boyfriend??! In fact he's the one who should initiate.

    I enjoyed this film, my boy friend was the same way, he never did any cheating except being with his friends who thought je was better than sliced bread, it took a lot of patience and time, plus a big cup of communication that got us through it, I had to understand his past as he understood mine, we are two works in progress, love makes a lot of allowances 😊

    I have really good friend who’s dating a guy he knew from college. As soon as he introduce him to me, I sensed a really negative vibe from him and I told my friend to be careful. That guy would do anything to get attention from men and talking about attention seeker whore. My friend could see that and he even saw messages on his phone flirting back and forth with other guys but still he couldn’t stop loving that jerk. I could say nothing and it killed me inside because I didnt want to see my friend getting hurt and most importantly, being treated like a muppet ☹️

      It happens. So many are not capable of a long-term honest loving relationship. It's just how so many gay men are. Nothing you do about it except be the person that you want to attract and the right person will come into your life.

    I spent 3 years with a man who enjoyed being admired by others for his perfect looks, and he wouldn't bother telling me why occasionally he was an hour or two late from work. It was always my problem that I couldn't trust him, he said. I thought I trusted him because when other couples would come over for dinner or drinks and occasionally suggest a 4 way or a switch, he would act genuinely horrified and try to get them to go home. Eventually my jealousy got the best of me because he never really tried to put me at ease. And so I ended it. Nowadays I look for not so perfect looking partners.

      One could write and could certainly read volumes of work on being "too good looking". I have read that it was sometimes unfortunate to be beautiful at certain times in history. It could guarantee you were made into a sex slave which everyone knows has a limited lifespan.

  • @kjohns5139
    @kjohns5139 5 років тому +132

    With one partner continuously placing themselves in a potential emotional or sexually compromising scenario does not make a healthy relationship. Jealousy can be unjustified and unreasonable, but it can also be equally justified as it is in this case. Nick is a one-step-from-cheating partner, and it does not take much for that one step to happen...to much alcohol, a couple's argument, a wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time situation. Nick needs to stay away from guys who want his body; because eventually one will get it. I am so sick of hearing, "...i'm not perfect." yes, I get that. But that is not an excuse to justify stupid or bad behavior. A man who needs that kind of validation, can't be faithful to one guy.

  • @mcmanpa
    @mcmanpa 9 років тому +23

    Do we tell the truth when we are perched on a perilous ledge because the effort to stay balanced and fear of failing occupies our minds so much we can’t fabricate at the same time? The scene at the beach roughly halfway through Alex Lampsos’ short gay film is a kind of central pivot to the relationship between Nick and Charlie where truths that both men can agree on are aired in the open light of day. Charlie calls Nick “perfect”; Bryan calls Nick “princess”. Swirling somewhere around these divergent impressions of Nick, Charlie tries to navigate and negotiate their relationship. If “Thylacine” has a message, it would appear to be that couples should keep talking to each other and be prepared for a lot of accepting about each other.

    • @Eric-rr8ui
      @Eric-rr8ui 5 років тому

      Great point. The truth can be very scary. I think finding someone you can tell your truth to and not only have them accept your truth but more importantly, appreciate you for it, is the secret to having your perfect partner.

      Your self respect mattered to you because your ex didn't respect or care about you nor himself. But having the courage to walk away and not be taken in by him speaks volumes about who you are and what you expect from others. I hope you do find the "right" one that you want.....

      No, cannot say that I have. But isn’t it a two-way street? If you love someone, shouldn’t you be committed to insuring your partner feel secure?
