So instead of throwing him out of the family home, Alison helped her husband to ease his way into his new life. He stayed in the family home for a considerable time after his admission, and when he left he did so in an organised fashion with Alison's help. Since then, she has taken all financial responsibility for the home and family, so that her husband can use his income to live in decent accommodation. She wants her children to be able to visit their father in a pleasant home.

So the woman who was the victim of a bisexual man who decided it was "better" to become promiscuous with his gay friends now has to support the bastard?

Sounds like they attended "counseling" with a psychologist who thinks evil is good and vice versa.

And if the guy decided instead that he needed a young girl, would the lady have to support him in his transition to living in a nice apartment with her?

Would she have been as understanding if he'd decided he was addicted to prostitutes?

What do you do when your husband of 20 years tells you he is gay

The first thing would be to get an HIV test and second rule out other STDs.

He lies to her and then "lets him off the finacial hook". Like she is doing her children any good by rewarding the liar. She sounds as goofy as the liar!

I don't understand this either ---she's letting him out of financial responsibility? So he can spend his money on his new gay life instead of his kids?

a few snips & comments :

"He was out of the closet, and we went in.".....
"He had a new identity through his sexuality.

In the quest for "gay rights" the gay world has put their own comfort above the comfort of those who depend on them and trust them.

So instead of throwing him out of the family home, Alison helped her husband to ease his way into his new life.....
...Since then, she has taken all financial responsibility for the home and family, so that her husband can use his income to live in decent accommodation. She wants her children to be able to visit their father in a pleasant home.

Her husband has it made. Tells the wife & kids he is gay, so long, good luck & then she supports him so that he can adjust to his "new" life? Give me a break...she should throw him out on his ass. Adultery is adultery. Because he now does the tango with other men instead of a hot babe, it is something to be "understood" and worthy of emotional support? She is an idiot. Her husband has basically destroyed the world of his wife & kids & yet, she works so that he can adjust to his lifestyle change?

...But my children and I are like an underground secret society.....

It's her own damned fault for being an idiot.

Feeling "de-sexed" and "neutered" has made Alison re- evaluate her self-image. "I asked myself, if my only sexual partner in my life was gay, what does that make me out to be? I blamed myself, because it seemed that the only man I could attract was a gay man."
She's too hard on herself when she says "attract" when she should mean "get a marriage proposal from"; the former is a given for almost any woman of certain age range; the latter is quite otherwise, and may be getting harder . . .

Emotionally, the guy divorces her--and she helps him get an apartment and makes no claims on his income? I don't get it. Except for love, of course . . .

How do your children cope?

Convert to the religion of peace & go to sand land and fight a jihad.

Obviously this woman is delusional.

First of all there is no such thing as being 'gay'. It is entirely a behavioral choice. Of course this choice is influenced by an underlying mental illness called Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD).

The question is "why, after all these years, is this guy choosing a life of perversion"?

My guess would be that prior to the detachment starting her husband became addicted to pornography. Heterosexual porn gave way to child porn gave way to homosexual porn as he became desensitized to normal desires. (That is, he got used to regular porn and needed to try something else to get his fix).

After becoming addicted he then reached out to try the behaviors he saw modelled in the porn. He probably had been molested by a man in his childhood or neglected by his father so he had an unfulfilled need for masculine attention (these two causes show up in almost all people afflicted with SAD) and his need for something new sexually combined with his need for masculine attention overwhelmed his common sense and morals.

He basically abandoned his family and everything good just to get a cheap sexual thrill.

The absolute worst thing that his wife could do is encourage and support him. She needs to practice some tough love and shut him out of her and the children's lives immediately.

Statistics show that those who succumb to SAD are also from 13 to 40 times more likely to be child molesters also. The risks just aren't worth it.

The children would be better off if their father suicided physically instead of morally as he has done.

God I pray that you will restore him to his senses, save him and deliver him from perversion.

God Save America (Please)
