Honestly, I DO feel complete when in a relationship ( of course, that is if the feeling is still the same with your partner ). You see, situations like this, admittedly, is HARD to find. Meaning, in most countries feeling strongly for the same sex is considered taboo, a sin, a disgrace or just plain worng. So if a person can find someone who is willing to have a relationship with them is something truly amazing and fulfilling.
The advantage of this is that same-sex relationship gives you the freedom to be just yourself. No pretenses. You show yourself that you sometimes hide from others. Moreover, you communicate in a more comfortable manner after all you share common traits ( that of having the same gender ).
However, when either of the partner's feelings slowly fades away then it can really be devastating.
The disadvantages of this is the AWARENESS that the relationship is more PRONE to society's pressures. Most often than not, one partners succumbs to the standard of the society to have a "normal" relationship. Another is, same-sex relationship has limited or NO RIGHTS at all in majority of places around the world. Therefore, same sex relationships have harder chances of survival because it often ( but not all ) breaks up because of uncertainty in each other partners future.

The disadvantages, mostly the way some people treat me because I am involved with someone of the same gender.
The advantage is knowing that I would not have the same sort of passion, commitment and fulfilment if I was with someone of the same gender.
I have some really great guy friends but I know that what I have in a same sex relationship is something I could never have with them.

I like being in same sex relationships more than opposite sex ones. My partner almost always understands me more, we're always more compatible.
I never feel 'completely in every way' in a relationship, because the only way I'm REALLY complete, I think, is when I'm single. I don't want to forfeit myself to another person-at least, not anytime soon.

After raising my 2 boys, I feel sad for couples who don't have their own children. Yes, for some it was just fate, for others that was their choice.
But seeing your kids follow your path in life validates your own actions, knowing that what you did in life was good and worthy of being followed.
I think that their mother left us for the companionship of another woman. She missed a lot that she will never get back. And I feel bad for her. I wish her parents and family were more supportive, and kept her on the right track.

Great question & great answers; I can't think of anything different at present. However, in my personal opinion, yes I feel complete.

Yes, they always know me for me and don't want me for only one thing. I can take the reproach I get for being with a woman when she can take me as I am and give me what i need not what they think i need.
