Oooh interesting poll, s/o from MM
If your H told you he was gay and wanted to stay married, what would you do?[Poll]
Re: Oooh interesting poll, s/o from MM
Right now, today, with me 4 months PG in the middle of a move, H comes out of the closet? Yeah I would pick stay with him. . . at least for now.
But also right now, I can not even begin to wrap my mind around him being gay.
I wouldn't stay married because I would want to pursue a relationship with a heterosexual male. I also think it would be best for him to pursue a healthy relationship with a man if that were his orientation, so divorce would probably be best for both.
Lot's of reasons. For one, he might not be openly gay. And maybe he wants to continue having his beard by his side.
stability, doesn't want to hurt his family whether it is his wife, children, parents, etc. Can't afford to start over. Doesn't want to start over in life. Fear of the stigma of being gay. Won't be accepted in his job, community, or church.
I had a former boss that people would say he was gay. After I left, it came out that he was gay, however he still pretended to be in a "happy marriage" for a while after that. He had a boyfriend on the side that he would take off of work to go visit. But then his wife would attend work events.
I completely agree.
I find that so sad that he felt the need to live a double life like that.
What?? It wasn't on here! It was preempted by the Tuscan memorial! How did you get to see it?
We will watch it on Hulu tonight. :-)
I have that show on series record on my DVR, but I've never watched an episode. In fact, I never watch TV. I know I'm missing out. And come to think of it, I wonder if my DVR is overloaded with recorded shows...
They played it in it's entirety right after the conclusion of the president's speech.
Oh, I was probably asleep by then.
I'm not sure what to say. My mind doesn't immediately go to divorce. We have a child together and made a commitment to each other.
While part of me wants him to be happy, my feelings for him aren't immediately going to change so I would stick it out. Counseling would definitely be in order. Perhaps down the line he'll decide that being married isn't what he wants after all, but that decision will be made together and won't be rushed.
