I think I can understand how confused, hurt and perhaps angry you must be feeling. But as you said yourself, he has at least finally been able to be open and honest with you.

In time you may come to see this shared intimacy - his truth - as a great gift your husband has given you. You can have your "beloved" husband still. Not as the husband you want but as a man you love as he is. That would be your gift to him.

I believe you two have children together? It's very important the two of you be cordial and have at least a good enough relationship that you can both be parents of your children together.

Also it would be doing your children a big disservice by using his sexuality against him or have them veiw it in any negative light. There are many people who have been through this. Go to your local bookstore or amazon.com and go to the LGBT section. They'll be positive books there to help steer you through this. And certainly the whole family being in therapy for a bit to process this couldn't hurt at all. Good luck.

And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
