I’m an advice columnist for the Advocate.com. I received a question from a reader asking about his happiness and wondering why he wasn’t in “gay heaven;” read on for my answer.
Dear Adam,
I have a great boyfriend, an interesting job, a cute dog, and enough money to buy most things I want. This is supposed to be gay heaven. And yet, I’m not happy. I often feel like, “Is this all there is?” Why can’t I just appreciate all the good I have?

Finding a Connection
Dear Disappointed in Denver,
You’re not alone with these feelings. In fact, they are pretty common, but we rarely talk about it. If we do, we fear we’ll sound spoiled.
