 Prince Charming is Gay
I must admit that I was looking for that Prince Charming whom most women seem to dream up in the secret corners of their minds. A charming man did appear. Simon was handsome, well-educated, hard working, and had been legally separated from his family for several months. He looked like the perfect mate.
Simon quickly plugged into my need for love and approval. As I now see in retrospect, he had found my vulnerable areas and cunningly played the long-awaited, perfect mate. Gallant friends tried to warn me. People risked our friendship to give me the "straight scoop" about this man. They told me of his questionable friendships with men. Friends of his former wife came to me to report how he had left her alone to cope with their four children. I couldn't hear these terrible stories. I didn't want to believe that they could be true.
At first, I paid no attention to the signals. He spent more and more time away from home, opened secret charge accounts, and attended dinner meetings alone that included an invitation for wives. He never invited me. In public Simon openly demonstrated his affection for me always hugging and kissing me but in private, he was the opposite. He would make it a point not to go to bed when I did. When we did go to bed together, he would give me a quick little peck on the cheek, turn over, and go right to sleep.
Odd as it now seems, it was a close friend who first suggested the possibility of a sexual preference problem. One day as we sat together in church, the one place we continued to go together, I looked over at him and realized that I didn't know him at all. Then it suddenly all clicked. I saw the whole picture. From Simon's point of view, it was better to be considered a philandering husband than a homosexual man. I realized how stupid I had been.
After ten years of marriage, I filed for divorce and left... Prince Charming was gay.
