Life is hard. And it just keeps on coming, ready or not. Somewhere inside me, I guess I thought that life in “retirement” would be more peaceful, easier somehow. But I am also not naïve enough to believe it for long.
Recently, my partner and husband of 25-plus years and I decided to get divorced. While the details of our situation will remain appropriately private, I am seeking to be as open and honest in the midst of this decision as I have been in other dramatic moments of my life—coming out in 1986, falling in love, and accepting the challenge of becoming Christendom’s first openly gay priest to be elected a Bishop in the historic succession of bishops stretching back to the apostles.
As my marriage to Mark ends, I believe him to be one of the kindest, most generous and loyal human beings on earth. There is no way I could ever repay the debt I owe him for his standing by me through the challenges of the last decade. I will be forever grateful to him, and as I tell couples in pre-marital counseling, “Marriage is forever, and your relationship will endure—whether positively or negatively—even if the marriage formally ends.”
I know this flies in the face of the common practice of regarding one party in a divorce as the bad guy and one the good guy. The fact remains that it takes two people to make a marriage and two people to make a divorce. The reasons for ending a marriage fall on the shoulders of both parties: the missed opportunities for saying and doing the things that might have made a difference, the roads not taken, the disappointments endured but not confronted.

Filed under: TMI and “who cares?”
That was not a good accomplishment you... Bleep.
Who really cares?
Anybody?
(Except for God, who will take the time to explain what a real marriage is, before he casts you into the pits of hell.)
Gay “marriage” is when they can only bugger other men on weeknights in the mall restrooms.
This wolf, and fellow wolves will pay for what they have done. Eternal damnation unless they repent!
What a selfish, nacissistic little pr*ck! First he tears his family apart by divorcing his wife...throws his denomination into chaos by insisting on his following his perverted desires and then after all the damage he’s done to the fabric of the Faith ‘divorces’ his partner in perversion. He’s a disgusting little man!
Life is hard. And it just keeps on coming, ready or not. Somewhere inside me …This many double-entendres in a row? Phew.
The Most Reverend Vicky Gene Robinson, Bishop of Poopchute
The boy made a national event of him wanting to “marry” his boyfriend and now he’s wanting another 15 minutes to get “divorced” from his boyfriend. The boy really needs to get a job. He’s got way too much free time on his hands.
Heh heh.

RE: The Most Reverend Vicky Gene Robinson
Why did their parents give him the name “Vicky” in the first place?
This perversion was never a “marriage” in God’s eyes, so there is no need for a divorce.
And yet people stayed in that church.
Hmm. Well that was gay.
Translation:
I found a younger and better looking boy-toy so my old one (and I do mean old) and I are history.
This is what happens when unrepentant sinners take over a church, there is no difference between that church and the secular world.
They were hoping for a girl. Explains a lot.
