8.2.11 Adam News & Info

I'm sure Sauli understands how the media edits/slants/cuts interviews and articles in order to print the most provocative headlines. This is not new - it happens to all celebrities.
A tempest in a teapot, IMO. 8-)

Only my vibe/instinct, nonotme, but I've always kind of gotten a conflict with that whole situation too. I always attributed it to Adam being in Idol during most of his relationship with Drake (as mys*&@^#r pointed out), and I have always wondered if he really knew.

My last relationship was long-distance and at the beginning, with the romantic intensity, etc., I thought for sure I was in love, but as things progressed, they kind of cooled off and we became more friends than anything else. In retrospect, I don't think I was ever ~in love, though I might have thought I was at certain points in time.

I can totally see Adam being conflicted with his feelings about Drake. When A was in Idol, Drake was a connection to the outside world, but once he got out and the maelstrom of press, fans, paps, tour, etc. came down upon them, it looks like things changed very quickly. From what they've said, it seems they remained friends, but it it really didn't seem to be the intense connection that he felt during the time he and Brad were together and definitely not what he conveys about his feelings for Sauli.

(I can't believe he still has that lights-up-like-the-Vegas-Strip, squishy, doe-eyed, romantic look when he references their relationship after 9+ months; that's amazing.)

ITA. And as I already said while talking to mys*&@^#r timing is everything IMO.

I don't know if anyone of you remember what Adam said about his relationship with Drake before he broke up with him, in this amazing OUT interview that everyone wants to forget but to me is one of the most revealing interviews he ever made.

This is part 2 of the interview and this is what he said about his relationship with Drake. It was clearly hard (at least for me I think) for him when they broke up.:

What was the wall you hit with him?
Sometimes it’s hard to, like, be a boyfriend for somebody, because you don’t know what that means. What does that mean? Especially if you haven’t been in many relationships. And being in the gay community, we don’t grow up with any role models for that. We don’t know what we’re supposed to be. And I think that’s funny because there’s so much -- again, it’s something that’s being evolved out of, but in the gay community there’s so much promiscuity. It’s socially accepted in the gay community to be promiscuous. It’s like, oh, we’re both men, we’re supposed to want to fuck all the time and cheat on each other. And it’s OK, open relationships are fine because we’re all men. And I’m not judging that, but I don’t think that’s for me. I don’t think it’s emotionally healthy.

Then you have to balance that with being away so much, being on tour.
So who knows, you know? The other thing that’s really hard is that you have to decide whether or not you have the focus and the energy to give to the other person. That’s a difficult thing, too. And who knows what the future could hold with that. I might have to say, “You know, this is how much I love you, that I have to let you go. I can’t give you what you deserve right now, so this isn’t going to work.” Hopefully it works. I want it to. But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Out of the love I have for him, I don’t want to neglect it. [Sighs.] God, I can’t believe I’m saying all this. I think we put all these expectations on relationships and create this idea of, oh, this is how it’s supposed to be, because this is what all these other relationships that I see, that’s how they are. I think it’s really hard but really necessary to be like, but what are my needs? And what are your needs? And that’s our relationship. And that’s the hardest thing, because no one tells you how to do that.
