 Father Knows Best
When a woman is married to a man who commits adultery, it is a shattering experience. When her husband commits adultery with another man, it is overwhelmingly destructive to the wife, producing feelings that cannot be understood by women who have husbands who cheat with women.
A wife in the unenviable position of having a cheating husband may at least feel she has a chance at "winning" him back. When her husband's lover is another man, she can consider her chances as being slim to none.
All marriages face challenges of various proportions. The homosexual or bisexual issue may be an insurmountable challenge for the majority of husbands, wives, and families for whom it is an issue.
This is why I never wanted to do that to my wife, whom I loved and respected, but for whom I no longer felt anything romantically. But this was not as easy as it initially seemed. I had no one to talk to, and I had to bury my deepest feelings.
This was why I was almost blown away when I sat down with my father and he said to me: "You're not doing a very good job of hiding the fact that you're gay. I made the discovery that I was gay in a much more difficult time than you, and I must say I did a much better job".
I'm surprised that I didn't break my jaw from the speed with which it dropped and likely hit the table that was placed in front of us. My father was gay! And my mother had no idea. I'd had no idea.
But we were instant best friends. We talk every day now. My life is happy, stable and complete, because my father is there for me.
