Cue the violins. Davey Wavey announced in a new video over the weekend that he and his boyfriend have broken up. Ironically, he had just introduced his boyfriend of over two years, with whom he was in an open relationship, to his audience.

“After two and a half years of dating, and challenging each other and growth, my boyfriend and I have decided to transform our relationship into something different, I guess,” Davey said. “Which is a really nice way of saying we broke up.”
While admitting that he is sad over the end of the relationship, he pointed out that he wasn’t making the video so that people would feel sorry for him, but instead said he would never look back on the relationship as “a regret or something that didn’t work out.”
He also shared something he learned from the relationship, and hoped would be useful to others.

“Imagine if, instead of distancing yourself from your partner (when hurt), you connected with your partner,” he said. “So instead of pulling back, if you leaned in. If you cuddled, or kissed, or connected with your partner in some way, I promise you that you feel better every single time… If it took a two and a half year relationship to learn that, I am okay with it.”

I can’t with these social media relationships. The minute people know about them, you might as well start the countdown to when they break up.
MarionPaige
with some of these youtubers, you get the impression that every experience they have is just fodder for a video. Like,
there are two youtubers who are calling themselves online boyfriends. they even have a channel for their “online relationship”. Really,
I’m braced for the coming wave of live, POV Crime Victim Videos in which people live blog being robbed or being attacked.
Billy Budd
This new generation is completely nuts. They feel their lives are validated and important only when they post about it on the Tube.
Billy Budd
I must add that I ABHOR Davey Wavey. He gets on my nerves. Only 12 yo straight girls watch him, for his mannerisms.
MacAdvisor
The only good news to come out of this is now Davey is available for me to ask out.
oregonduckbrad
Who. Cares. The ego!

@oregonduckbrad: DITTO!!!

Davey’s real boyfriend – i.e. his steroid syringe – will always be with him.

Remember that post a few days ago when you asked “what is gay news?” Well, this is a perfect example of the exact opposite.
Mark
So how does this work, you come home from having sex with one or multiple guys and the hubby wants to have sex, you say Oh I’m worn out from all the sex just 1 hour ago…whatever
salumbre
Oh.
AJAnders
Who cares? It’s Davey Wavey.
It’s sad that narcissistic Internet personalities are somehow worthy of news features.

@Billy Budd: @Billy Budd: @Billy Budd: @Billy Budd: Spiteful f-cking bitch. You “abhor” his mannerisms?
That is exactly the same language “straight????” Bullies use to terrorize gay men. Have YOU NO SHAME?
crowebobby
@jimontp: While I agree with everything you say about this
“spiteful f-cking bitch,” I doubt that any straight bully outside of Oxford University has ever used the word “abhor.”

So Davey Wavey had an open relationship that failed. DUH!!!!! Who in the Hell is surprised about that? Gosh, I’m afraid Davey will now make obnoxious videos about trying to find a “real” relationship. Help us all!!
DCguy
They’re still in the same open relationship. They just aren’t f*cking each other anymore. (Eye Roll)
amigay
OMG, I can’t believe I even clicked on this….who the fuck cares?
Billy Budd
@jimontp: Have you actually watched him? He is irritating. Not because he is fem. I don’t know how to put it exactly, but I dislike him intensely and that does not happen to me with other fem guys. If you knew me personally you would know that I am totally accepting and I have had fem boyfriends in the past. But I abhor Davey Wavey, yes. What can I do?
scotshot
@jimontp:
He reminds me of a friend’s mother. Twenty minutes with her and I’m ready to run out the door screaming.
Of course there are several “manly men” who produce the same reaction from me.
tardis
*sigh*…..I don’t care.

I don’t know him personally, though some of his videos have been entertaining and educative if for no other reason than to teach me how Youtube personalities make their careers. And really, his personal relationship is none of my business any more than are the relationships that are plastered all over People magazine and the like. But having gone through some breakups myself, I can empathize with some of the feelings he must be going through and I can — as I would do for almost anyone who goes through a breakup — wish him better luck whatever he does moving forward.
Really people, the opposite of love is indifference not the kinds of bitchiness that this break up ad video seem to have elicited. And I disagree with those who say this isn’t “news.” Insofar as People magazine calls stuff like this news; then, whether we like it or not, when one of our celebrities (even if they are not Ricky Martin or NPH) goes through a life change, it IS news.

Youtube channels where people report every aspect of their lives are for people who feel like they deserve their own reality TV series but can’t get one. I think they live in hope that some TV exec or Ellen will discover them and give them a TV show. So over it.
Mike
The sign of a healthy relationship is its absence from social media
BGinBigD
@Mike: Amen, girl!

@MarionPaige: The murder of Philandro Castle is kind of the beginnings of this and I suspect it’s going to become a more common occurrence in the near future.
da90027
I watched one of his youtube vids a couple years back where he was talking about avocado dip and chips and salsa and was nude…LOL I wish these guys with colossal egos would go away who cares? He reinforces every negative stereotype about gay men.
MarionPaige
@Jack Meoff: “I think they live in hope that some TV exec or Ellen will discover them and give them a TV show.”
A certain “Youtube Personality” who actually has/had an HBO TV Show said in an interview, essentially, that going from what he does on youtube to a tv show is definitely NOT a step up. And, word is he was paid $2 million by HBO for his videos.
kouros
So…Davey/Jonathan is bereft because he and boyfriend have parted. Can’t express how excruciatingly inconsolable I am because of this cosmic event. My darling man’s death from AIDS pales in comparison.
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
This guy is irrelevant. If you must go the low-fruit YouTubers route then why not cast your net wider and smarter? Queerty you need to up your brand because you’re getting stale AF.
Terrycloth
Davy rubs me the wrong way .something about him I find totally annoying .what makes him an authority on all things gay.? He certainly doesn’t speak for me ..I don’t know anyone who takes his advice seriously .his videos are laughable at best IF you can sit through one without cringe in every few seconds
Ukin Blome
My first relationship was an open relationship. I didn’t know it until about 6 months into it.
davidwhornii
I didn’t take the time to read the above comments, but I think that speaking about creating a connection between two partners is always important, and at the same time, being in a open relationship may be counter productive to that….

AKA – Davey’s annoying ass was DUMPED. Who can blame him. This should be a celebratory post for the poor man who dated this annoying beast.
Malcolm Forest
Poor Davey Wavey. I am sorry he is going through such a bad time. Good luck to the guy.
He also has a very nice body according the grindr leaks all over the internet. His penis is a bit wierd looking and knobbly but only a shallow person would let that put them off such a lovely person such as Davey Wavey.
Good luck Davey!!!

A revelation, flakey Davey Douche, flakes out of “relationship” and the earth is still revolving around the sun?
pscheck2
I’m an old fart (been out 40+ yrs)and from my experience, anyone in an open relationship is heading down the path of subterfuge, deceit, and, of course, heartbreak! The basic problem is EGO! with a good dash of narcissism !The point is that these are not true relationships, but way-stations to give one or both of them a chance of finding Mr. Right! He is young, seems to have the physical attributes that will attract another dude, so can’t feel sorry for him. Soon he will forget all about his ex and will start building his dream fantasy around his new ‘find!’
son he will forget about his ex and start building a dream fantasy with his new relationship. Life goes on! LOL!
