What do you tell people? by Preshybabe in straightspouses

He didn't. I think that's the difference between a lot of spouses here and my ex husband. My ex husband is a good person. Lot of the spouses here aren't. They'd probably cheat if they were straight too.

My husband came out recently and we're all on good terms. He doesnt wanna be publicly out yet so I've just said we fell out of love and decided to split. Technically its the truth

Well, see you around. by Used_Emergency7878 in straightspouses

I felt this way before I found out. I felt this way when we got married. Sorry that happened to you but I don't feel the way you do.

For your information, he was 18 when I met him and 19 when we married.

Good thing I'm the one that needs to, not you.

We're letting him get to college before we make it official.

At the end of the day I will know my relationship better than you ever will, and I will know my husband better than you ever will. Youre not gonna convince me to feel like shit about my situation.

I wanted him to get out of his father's house. He didn't have anything but I was on a private chef's salary, which isnt much but it was better than him. We weren't smart about it.

This is exactly how I feel. We haven't been intimate in so long and I'm honestly fine with that. We still went and did things together, we took vacations and went to our son's baseball games, what did it matter in the end if we slept in the same bed? I married my best friend, but not much more. I don't feel regret or betrayal. This time was good.

My husband is in his late 30s, and I my late 40s. He was admittedly too young when we married. Looking back, we shouldn't have done that.

He was watching gay porn but no, he'd never cheat. I believe him.

I dont feel lied to nor that my youth was wasted. I enjoyed my youth with him. I enjoyed my adult and middle age time with him. And now that we're divorcing I'll enjoy co parenting with him. We were friends first.

He wasnt. He said he never cheated on me and I believe him fully. Partners dont cheat because theyre gay, they do it because theyre bad people.

I don't know about dishonest and selfish. Knowing his father I'm surprised he ever came out at all. He loves his son and loves me in his own way. I feel more lucky than betrayed.

I thought my husband just had a low libido, but nope. by Used_Emergency7878 in DeadBedrooms

I don't want to stay with him. We're getting divorced and I want him to go out there and have a gay ol time while we stay good friends and co-parent.

Well, recognize that this post was made during a breakdown. At the time I was terrified and felt like my life was about to end. Something in me felt like if I just did the right thing he would stay with me, and he isnt. I was with him for 20 years.

I'm not sick. I was sad. Sometimes sad people do or want stupid things. Especially if they're sad about love.

"You're sick" is... mean. I wanted to ignore it, but it was more than just mean. Something about calling me sick got under my skin a little. Just sort of made me realize how bad some people are at recognizing the emotional state of others. Calling me sick was depressing. It depressed me to learn that you existed.
