Let’s be honest. Building a meaningful gay relationship doesn’t come with an instruction manual—or does it? I say it does. Enter The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men by Tom Bruett, the ultimate playbook for navigating love, connection, and everything in between.
Whether you’re struggling with communication, intimacy, or just figuring out how to meet someone who doesn’t ghost you after date three, this guide has you covered. Bruett brings practical advice, expert insights, and a no-nonsense approach to help you create the relationship you truly deserve.
Here’s what’s in store in this episode:
- Discover the top relationship myths that need busting
- Learn the difference between problem solving and understanding in a relationship – they are different
- How to get a relationship that works for you – and that’s not being selfish
