I was married with 2 kids when I realized I'm gay
CNN ^ | 6/10/19 | Melisa Raney

Where I fell on the sexuality spectrum would take me the better part of two years to figure out. A part of myself wasn't living. And by not letting that part live, I was slowly dying.

There's a price of admission for coming out as gay later in life. Over the course of several months, I paid the price daily. It was like I was watching a movie about myself but unable to control what was unfolding. Everything fell apart.

I did my best to slowly confide in my husband. But I kept many of my feelings inside to avoid hurting him. He tried to be supportive, but he also needed answers.

He felt unsettled and scared about the uncertainty of our future. He asked several times if I was a lesbian. It was a question that felt impossible to answer because I knew what that answer would mean.

***

I confided in my sister first. I wasn't brave enough to actually say the words -- the label of being gay or a lesbian was too much for my soul to bear at the time -- so I sent her a text message, "I am not straight."

She responded perfectly, asking if she could buy a Pride flag and offered to tell my parents.

Later that day, I got two of the most relieving texts from my parents that I've ever received.

***

That's what I'm striving to do now: shape a new life that includes my now ex-husband and my kids. Our family structure just looks a little different than it used to.

Liberalism is mental degeneration precipitated by sexual misbehavior.

Same as that chick that did the wild oats thing - they smile so fervently. Kinda eerie. And of course she’s a freelance writer

It just goes to show that mental illness can strike at any age.

To answer your last sentence: Because ISIS doesn’t have the right to judge anybody. That’s God’s job.

The rest of your post I agree with. The story makes me want to hurl.

TMI!

She’s a p.o.s. that left her husband and kids for another.

I have my own, personnel story: after struggling for some time, not ever wanting to say it out loud, I finally was brave enough to tell my Family.

As a man, married to my Wife and having a child, I am living a lie. You see, I really want to nail a bunch of hot, blondes that must be under 28 years old.

It’s who I really am so, don’t judge me as I break my vows, s**t all over my Family and ruin lives.

This has been tough for me, my back hurts and I pulled a hamstring the other night during a threesome with two volleyball players- the truth is, I hate volleyball.

I’ve often asked myself the same question.

The “love that dare not speak its name” has become the love that won’t ever shut up.

Suck it up cupcake. Lots of people marry the “wrong” person. They stay together for the sake of the kids.

My life is so f**ked up!. But, I’m not going alone. I’m gonna f**k up the lives of everybody I love...and they’re gonna have to like it!

Homosexual is ALWAYS about gratification of the genitals.

At moments like these I keep thinking that when the muzzies finally take over, it’ll be an improvement.

Some socially strict but less medieval form of Islam will eventually replace all of the failed Socialist utopias - including our own if we let the Democrats continue to take us that way. There was a time Christianity might have done it, but its Crusading days are far in the rear view mirror.

Judging is God’s job.

If she had been married to Mohammed al Sharia, she and her head would have been separated within 24 hours after her social media announcement was made.
