In this emotionally challenging situation, the writer’s 14-year marriage took a devastating turn when their husband recently came out as gay, revealing that the entire marriage was a facade. This revelation was accompanied by the painful discovery of the husband’s infidelity, leading to OP contracting an STD.
What compounds the distress is the lack of support from friends and family, who, instead of empathizing with the OP’s pain, rally around the husband. They argue that societal pressures and potential dangers faced by LGBTQ individuals justify the husband’s actions, leaving OP feeling isolated and unsupported.
Furthermore, the husband’s distant relationship with their two children and his swift transition into a new relationship, even planning a wedding with his boyfriend before finalizing the divorce, intensify the OP’s emotional turmoil. OP is struggling with trust issues and the terror of experiencing a similar betrayal in future relationships.
So keep scrolling down below to read the whole story narrated by OP and make sure to read it till the end so you can have a clearer idea of what’s been going on with OP.
1. OP was married to a man for 14 years who revealed he was gay, and when OP confronted him he said he was too afraid of being attacked by bigots to come out of the closet. He cheated on OP multiple times and OP found it out when she got STD.
2. OP said everyone in the friends and family supports him although he cheated on her, one of their mutual friends said to OP that she was being selfish and sensitive.
3. Other friends of OP also supported him saying sympathies and loyalties lie with him, it’s absurd. I mean OP should be the one getting these sympathies.
4. OP said that he’s a father of two children and he’s not very good at that and he always has been distant towards them
5. OP’s husband is currently hiding at his boyfriend’s home and he is already planning a wedding with his boyfriend for Valentine’s Day 2019
6. OP has every right to be angry as her whole marriage was a lie, and the fact that all of her friends ditched her and sided with him out of pity is super absurd. She was the one who needed sympathy, even her therapist said that she should be happy for her husband and support him because gay men need it most.
7. OP gets devastated by thinking what if her next husband does this to her, OP is really stressed out and the fact she’s all alone adds up the misery. Let’s see what users have to say about it.
8. Exactly, this therapist is such a red flag. She needs to find someone else.
9. This user is absolutely right, I think they weren’t even her friends from the beginning otherwise, they would have understood her and supported her.
10. OP needs to have a new therapist and a new circle of loyal friends
11. I totally agree with this user, besides being gay he was a selfish person.
12. This is a very nice idea, OP should consider it.
13. That changes everything!
14. OP needs to surround herself with some genuine people
15. Exactly, they are not even friends. Friends are supposed to be by your side through tough times.
16. We truly hope OP finds someone who would heal her and give her the love and respect she deserves
17. They all deserve to be throat punched, to be honest
18. Definitely besides being gay he’s a selfish, indifferent, and a liar person.
All of our sympathies and support go to OP. She’s a very strong and bold woman who faced this situation despite being all alone. We hope soon she finds a man who will be able to give her everything and set her trust back in love again.
