The Daily’ host Michael Barbaro dumps husband for female producer
I never heard of him, and I can't find any pictures of the ex.
-- Michael Barbaro — the rising-star host of the New York Times’ hit podcast “The Daily” — has split with his husband and is now dating the show’s executive producer, Lisa Tobin, Page Six has learned.
-- Political correspondent-turned-podcast star Barbaro married fellow Yale grad Timothy Levin in 2014 and has reportedly been known to make references to his husband on “The Daily.” New York state Supreme Court records reveal that the couple have filed for an uncontested divorce, and that the proceedings are ongoing.
-- But sources insisted that Barbaro and Tobin’s relationship did not begin until Barbaro and Levin had already parted ways.

I knew a guy like that here in Toronto (BTW he was discussed on DL, which was a big surprise to me.) After being with men, he got into a relationship with a woman. That lasted about year or two, when he unceremoniously dumped her having cheated on her with men. As far as I know, ev ry relationship after that was with a guy. I honestly don't see how this girl could be so dumb - she's a short layover, if egen that, on the return flight to Gayville.

Bisexuality does exist. The only reason why you don't hear more of men leaving their lovers for women is because society has tainted any guy who messes with other men with a scarlet G. Society has tricked women into seeing these men as either weak, or pathological. More sexy, ambitious men are letting go of those old taboos and embracing us just as straight men love bi women.

I know quite a few women who are either attracted to or attached to bisexual men. My fear is that the Gay community will pillory me for letting the side down. A LOT of gay men seem to really , really hate women and are so disgusted with the thought of sex with a woman that they consider me tainted by association. DL does nothing to dispel this impression.

r38, I think some gay men are truly envious of bisexual men. Its a deep seated hatred of all the social advantages and approval one receives for the heteronormativity bi men can partake in. Its similar to the lightskin and darker complexioned thing in AA communities. I'm not bashing gay men either as this is something that should be discussed.

R40 Except you need to be closeted to get those advantages. I.e. pass for straight. The moment you date a man openly, you are gay in the eyes of the society.
A bi friend of mine once literally had to put a girl's hand down his pants so the starting phase of his hard-on could convince her that he was really into her. She wasn't disgusted by his history with guys when he admitted he wanted to date her, she just stood there wide-eyed, repeating "but you are into guys right? you must be gay right? did you lose a bet?" Even though he always referred to himself as queer, not gay or homosexual.

[quote][R127] A lot of bisexual people who have a long term same-sex partner identify as gay or lesbian during the relationship since that's what people assume anyway.
This. I'm a bi woman, currently single, but during times when I was involved with a woman, many people assumed I was a lesbian, and often, I just went with it. It seemed vaguely homophobic, back then, to make a point of informing them I was bi. Nowadays, I've come to see the need for increasing bi visibility and do make sure to let people know I'm bi if it comes up for whatever reason.

R136 Yep and it can feel rude to sort of loudly remind everyone you used to have sex with people who aren't your current partner. But one gets so tired of the erasure and the stereotypes.

The loud pro bi people here are being absurd. They act as is gay men don't pretend to be straight due to perceived social pressure and internalized homophobia every day. This is one o the strangest cases, he married a man as an adult. Ridiculous to say he MUST be bi and not just making mistake with such certainty.

People decide their own sexuality. You don't decide for them.
Be that as it may: who said he has sex with the woman? Marriage is just an arrangement for many people....an arrangement for all kinds of reasons.
If it works for them, great.

It is far more absurd to decide a man who lived his entire adult life married to a man suddenly decided he was too scared to be out and hooked up with a woman to go back into the closet.
Sure he might find it’s a phase but the idea that he’s been scared back into the closet is just laughable

He's very happy about his new found success and probably was having problems with his husband and has seemed to deeply confuse himself. I think bisexuality is real and very few are 100% gay or straight.
But this is NOT the hill to die on if you want to have this fight. Zero chance this is the result of normal courting and not some weird complex Barbaro is going through

He's not married to the woman. He's married to a man, whom he's leaving for the woman. Whether this means he and the woman are having sex with each other, I obviously cannot say for sure, but if I'd had to bet, I'd go with "yes."

It's not meaningless, but neither is leaving your husband for a WOMAN, ffs.
[quote]You and [R147] know whats truly in his heart.
Of course I can't say for certain what is in his heart, but it's simple common sense to conclude that when a 40-ish year old guy leaves his husband for a woman, he is, as I said, *probably* bi. Makes way more sense than "well, I guess after several years of publicly being married to another man, he's going back into the closet and pretending he's straight" and some of the other nonsense ideas put forth here.

So the same posters who think bisexuality is bullshit, attack people for not publicly identifying as bisexual more.
Most guys (especially) feel pressured to pick a side, it is easier to just say you are straight or gay.
I'd guess Barbaro always knew he still had some attraction to women, but given he was just dating men at the time it was much simpler to just call himself gay.

Exactly, r171. Many straight and gay people really do subscribe to the "pick a lane and stay in it!" philosophy, or simply don't believe that bisexuality is a real thing. If you're in a long-term same-sex relationship, and you know that publicly identifying as bi is going to draw a "sure, Jan" reaction from a sizable percentage of your so-called community, why bother? Might as well as stay in the "gay" lane until you've got a concrete reason to do otherwise.

Only if you're so childish and bizarre that you view a bisexual's choice of partners as the result of a competition between genders. He could well end up with a man again if this relationship doesn't last.
[quote]Fluidity is designed for exhausting people.
I can understand the disapproval of cheating on a spouse, engaging in a workplace affair, divorcing after just 4 years of marriage, etc. All of that could properly be termed "exhausting," "fickle" and so on. But I fail to understand why for some of you, it's all so much worse—or only becomes a problem at all—when there's bisexuality involved.

R144 You are the one being ridiculous.
Marrying a man doesn't mean you are gay. Do you imagine that bisexual people only ever flaunt opposite-sex partners and keep their same-sex relationships secret? This isn't 1918.
And half of those cases you are talking about is people assuming that a same-sex relationship means you are gay or lesbian so if a person dates the opposite sex they must be lying or pretending.

R184 People easily say a man who claims he is bisexual is a liar but really gay. They easily believe it. Sometimes they will insist on it even though the man in question is dating a woman.
People have suuuch a problem with the idea that someone who said they were gay might be not saying the truth but in fact be bisexual. How dare you doubt his self-identity. How dare you assume he might be not entirely truthful. There is a Real Reason. He's been with a man. That's the reason. You can't be bisexual, date a man and call yourself gay for whatever reason. This is illogical, unthinkable, impossible.

I don't know why this is so difficult for some to understand. That gay leaning bi guys might settle down a with a woman. We have a biological need to procreate. This urge is what likely fuels our attraction to females, even if attraction to men might be stronger and even more erotic. Many great men throughout history were highly likely gay, while still being with many women and having children.
