The only thing I could gather was that while they were together, he always kept his feelings bottled up. He was with the guy two years and couldn't say "I love you." While I understand that his past had a lot to do with it, did his boyfriend know about it? Did he get why those were hard words for him to say? I don't agree with cheating, but breaking up would have been on the table for sure.

You can put years and years into a relationship even if the one you love stays distant and disconnected because sometimes even if your alone in a relationship you still feel that undeniable L O V E even if it hurts . Love gives us hope and some try to live on hope ...for as long as they can but being lonely can eat away at you like cancer, I know I was the "puppy dog" for years until I could not breath anymore. I still miss him to this day, love doesn't go away nor does it fade completely . It lingers like shadows always in the back of your mind. Peace.

I got cheated on twice by the same guy I never fucking learn because I was still in love with him......... ignore the fact that he cheated on me and I forgave him but that's all over now I'm single and happy as ever

This is probably the most realistic looking cast I've seen in the MANY gay shorts I've watched on KZread. There's a nice range of body types and the people actually look young. Instead of the more commonly cast 25 year olds with gym bunny bodies trying to play 17 year olds.

Brilliant film, glad they “found” each other again even though in reality I wouldn’t and couldn’t trust my ex again. 😊🇬🇧

I really enjoyed this. How childhood trauma locks up emotions and how hard it is to get through it and over it. Nicely done!

The blond actor who played the homewrecker wasn't the best choice b/c it made the movie confusing. He looked astonishingly like the straight best friend. They must be brothers in real life.

Nice to see the bi guy is the faithful one.

The dad leaving like made me burst into tears this is good writing my dude

from representation, to music, to cinematography and delivery, everything was perfect. it makes me happy that their relationship was portrayed as normal as a straight couple- because it really is no different, people cheat, they get lonely, and they do the unthinkable as a means for catharsis. But ah, catharsis, this was the most important need in our main character. His repressed past made us feel with him, the distant sounds of his mother and father yelling, the car door closing as his father leaves, and the weeping of his mother as she holds him- every detail came together perfectly . This short film had excellent cinematography and I am very thankful that art can be exhibited through film where it can be seen by the public- because we show them that we're no different, that we're all fuck ups at some point and that, that normalizes the concept of being gay . because it is real, we exist, and it is as simple as that .

What a very powerful short movie the two actors were fantastic in their roles....the emotion they showed towards each other was so moving the tears rolled down this old face..loved it and well done to the Director and the scriptwriter.

A moving and thought provoking short. The lesson to me is know you partner and NEVER let anything go unsaid. Both endings are well done. I prefer the original ending. It had me thinking where they would go next, yet the look in their eyes said so much. Thanks for sharing this film Bruno! Loved it.

I don't know. Both endings made it clear to me that Jace was going to take his boyfriend back because he couldn't just walk away from the relationship the way his father had walked out on his mother.

I never commented on this until today, and I still love it. I love how Jace isn't... he's a gay with more to love :) Oh and look... almost 25,000 views!

My partner of 16 years finally admitted to cheating with a ‘friend’ he brought home. Initially said it was only going on for a month. Turns out it was more than 6 months. He wanted to be with his new love. I found someone new and we have been together 20 years. To my old ex I said goodbye and good riddance. My husband and I have never been happier. As to my ex, once a cheater always a cheater. If he cheats get out of the relationship. Go out and find your true love.

Thank you! This film brought back so many memories for me. I met the love of my life because of a cheating boyfriend. I was working out of state for 2 weeks and came home and found my "boyfriend" cheating with this guy who knew nothing about me but was distraught about what happened. We eventually met again and talked, became friends and eventually fell in love. I spent my 20's with him until the day he passed away 18.5 years ago. He made me a MUCH better person and brought me closer to my family. To this day his name is brought up by one of my family members at every gathering.

No. This was great until they got back together. If someone cheats on you it's impossible to just forget that. And don't come at me with that "oh well he learned to block out his feelings when his dad left" because it would still be impossible. That isn't something you can just shake. Especially when it was the person your in a relationship with that seduces the other. If it was the other way it would have been bearable but no.

Fun fact: The alternate ending was written to be completely different and much more elaborate, but as we had a tight schedule and limited funds, we only had access to the state park for one night only and due to some technical delays we had to improvise the alternate ending. I had a cool tracking shot and set up for a purposefully stereotypical declaration of love scene :'(

In my long existence as a gay Puerto Rican man, chubby gay men have been integral and essential part of my life! As a matter of fact I get easily infatuated with chubby gay men and OLÉ! OLÉ! AND OLÉ!

Jason is like most guy, good guys trying to make their significant other feel special...later on get hurt.

Muy buen corto sin estereotipos de belleza, como suelen ser los cortos gay, el protagonista realmente divino uffff. Felicitaciones!!!!

This film is just awesome. Good and real story, great acting, big emotions. Just goes to show that you should never repress feelings, because they will creep up on you from time to time - and this film shows would could happen. The end of the film shows me that he is now slowly coming to terms with the childhood memory. Btw - cheating is bad but forgiving - for the right reason - shows what kinda person you are.

dont know how but out of no where i ended up crying out loud at the end. best US LGBT av ever seen

Well I liked it. Both endings show forgiveness which is important in any relationship. He was scarred by what happened to him as child and he was able to overcome it for love

I would have liked to see it go on. Great work Bruno Rose. The acting was spot on. Thank you for posting.

*I'm also LOST.* (Plays "Lost Boy" by Troye Sivan.)

GREAT JOB

The way he expresses his emotions even thought it not through words is beautiful. It's so meaningful and transfixes me to the story.

Nice. I liked the casting choice and despite what many people are saying about makeup and stuff I think its all very good. The simpler it is, more relatable it is.

One of the best short films ever. Thank you for making this masterpiece. Love has its ups and downs, it’s inevitable. Love lasts because it’s a two way thing, we stumble and fall, together. And we rise up to challenges together.

That's the point. Jace's boyfriend resorted to cheating because Jace was never there for him emotionally, and the boyfriend had even TOLD Jace that this was a problem. It finally took actual cheating to get Jace to realize that he needed to start SAYING that he loved his boyfriend and giving his boyfriend the emotional support that had been missing. That's why the alternate ending is so satisfying. It ended with Jace actually saying the words that his boyfriend had wanted so desperately to hear.

Great job! I loved it, very touching

Excellent. Alt ending is better.

This was really good, more then one tear fell 💕

An alternate ending and they both are happy? What is this? Heaven?

This is the first one to make me cry ❤

My first living together boyfriend. It took me forever to figure out why he was so manipulating my time away from him. I saved up and left. I was hurt so deeply, I never told him why, until 30 years later. He made a pass at me after being married for 20 years. Better alone than unfaithful partner.

This was so brilliant. Well developed characters and regular life circumstances that make it all the more relatable.

It's true that all of us who have experienced trauma tend to become strong enough repressing our thoughts and feelings... that's our defense mechanism... however that shouldn't mean we don't really look for something trustworthy, pure and sincere anymore despite of all past things... at the end, the necessity of love is still our biggest issue. Hugs from Bolivia 🇧🇴😊😽

I love it!

Alternate ending was very good. In life you should move on with past specially if the same is hurtful. U should not spoil your present due to your hurtful past n should express your love for someone if you do care.

While the camera work wasn't the best, the acting was good and so was the storyline. *And* the guys were hot. 😘 Loved it

We have a continuation of this? I love it...

Dang Bruno you do it all, will peep this later

So his response when caught cheating on his birthday, no less - and worst - in their HOME, is "I thought you were at a chapter"? Whatever the reason, instead of cheating, he couldn't end the relationship after explaining why it wasn't working for him? And he takes the cheater back. On the SAME day he cheated. After seeing his father cheated on his mother and abandoning them. What a sorry ass story.

This is some pretty deep and powerful stuff.

When you love someone, prepared and accept what happen next. So painful at all.

This was a great one...loved it...

Better than usual short film acting especially by Jace.

Jace was traumatized by the departure of his father, but did that leave him so pathetically dependent that he had to get back together again with the blond guy, who treated him like dirt? How sick. As the popular president of his fraternity, Jace should have known that he could find someone better than that cheating blond former boyfriend. I guess he wanted to be in a relationship with someone that he could not trust, like his father.

Good shots. And nice storyline !!

At last a short film with a gay theme that isn't populated by the gym junkie narcissistic male model types you see on the dance floors of gay bars and clubs any night of the week. For the record I liked the first ending the best.
