Chapters 6, 7 and 8 there is soo much going on its nuts

Rule #1: don't talk about fight club
#2: don't talk about fight club
#3 when someone says stop or is limp even if they are pretending the fight is over

The narrator and Tyler Durden are the creators of Fight Club. They started this because neither had ever been in a fight before and they wanted to know what is was like to be able to hold their own in a fight with another man. All men are the same when they go to fight club. Some are accountants and some are janitors and so forth but when one comes to fight club no one is judged for their jobs or appearance, they all fight to get stress and anger off their chests and after the fight everything that is real is numb. Nothing matters after the fight and week after week one comes back and does it again if he wants to. In one fight the narrators gets his butt kicked by an a new guy and I wonder if people perceive him differently because he is a "veteran." They say that nobody wins or loses, but the question is still their and I wonder if they guys gave him crap about it. Then the narrator gets a kick to the head because Tyler and Marla start "doing the deed" which is a slap in his face because he was starting to like Marla. I guess Marla does not care what the narrator thinks about her, but used to care about what she thought because of the meetings they went to together. The narrator also thinks that Marla has ruined another part of his life: Tyler. I feel bad for him again at this point because it seems like everything is crapping on him and he just goes to the fight club and lets out his stress there. Then the question of homosexual comes up again because on page 72 "Tyler licks his lips wet . . . of my hand." He makes a kiss mark of saliva on the narrators hand and then puts lye on it and it begins to burn through his hand. I do not understand why Tyler would kiss his hand or want to burn the narrator it is very unpleasant to think about this image and why someone would let someone else mutilate them.
