To Anyone Confused About Dean


RE: "He has kids, but he seems to want to be with Henry! But he likes women! But he was jealous!" etc

Dean Stuart is bisexual, you guys. He's coming to terms with being bisexual. So he wants what he wants from Henry, but he's not ready to deal with all of that yet, and while it's perfectly okay for him to take his time and no one should rush him, it was also unfair for him to think it was okay for him to ask Henry to keep being there for him to "try" with and then push away again.

Lucky for the both of them, they weren't actually meant to be together. They were just extremely important parts of their respective romantic developments, as well as (to complicate things) truly incredible friends.

There's no "or" with Dean Stuart, just a lot of "and".

Great perspective.
