When your spouse announces he is gay

2/15/08

Quote:

When her husband of more than a decade revealed he was gay, Anna Marie Will was surprised -- but not shocked.

Her husband, Jim, had never fit her stereotypical idea of the sports-loving, macho, straight guy, and the two had even gone to gay bars with a friend who was gay. But that didn't mean she was prepared for the news.
"Neither one of us had a clue -- he didn't know what being gay meant for him. ... He needed to figure that out," recalls Anna Marie Will, of Sacramento, California. "I needed to figure out what his being gay meant for me, and whether I could incorporate that into my life and my marriage."

What they did know was that they believed in their marriage and wanted to make it work. Jim Will's revelation in 2001 began a three-year process during which they sorted out their feelings for each other. Ultimately, the couple, whose daughter turns 15 in March, decided to stay together.
"He had to learn to talk to me -- he had spent so many years not saying what was really on his mind, and not dealing with his true feelings," says Anna Marie Will, now 39, a worker's compensation program administrator. "We found out once we got past all that, our marriage was so much better. We still loved each other as people and partners."

I remember a friend of my mothers was in tears at our back door on day this had to be back in the mid 80's .... she was upset and said her husband was having an affair . we all was kinda shocked.... they had been married for years ..... had 3 children ...he had a good job with a big company.. and all seems normal....... but it wasnt .. I remember she borrowed a car from another friend.... a few days later she came round again .totaly beside herself ... her husband was having an affair not with a women but with a man..... his wife saw him kissing him ...... kinda shocking!!!! how do you compete with that ?

Why would anyone want to compete with that ? Boot him out and let his lover have him .

I know everyone talks about any lifestyle is acceptable and don't want to hear the religious thoughts on this but I have to say.... IT'S NOT IN THE LAWS OF NATURE!! There's the "innie" and "outtie" and they fit each other and reproduce in most cases.

I know in today's society I'm in the wrong but it just doesn't fit... physically....
