04/10 Marriage Dilemmas

Quote From: joyfulagrl

I was married for 19 years and I found out that the man I married was living a homosexual lifestyle.  He had been living this lifestyle before we got married.  What hurt so deeply was that he deceived me and lied to me for so long.  More than what it did to me it hurt our 16 yr old son.  We have been divorced for 3 years, eventhough my son and I have both suffered, I think my son is the one who has suffered the most.  I am glad to see that Shawn and her husband are putting thier daughters feelings first in this situation.  This is something that has made it hard for me to trust anyone.

 

If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.  They shall surely be put to death.  Their blood shall be upon them.  Leviticus 20:13


And yet people wonder why men lie and do these things.

 

that one bible verse is your answer to why your husband lied.  maybe we as a people should accpect people for who they are not what they are.  Maybe some understanding is what is needed and less judgeing and less baseing beliefs on one bible verse.

 

I am sorry for your son, I don't know if you raised him to believe the verse you quoted but if you did maybe you should have raised him to be more open minded and also look at the time you got married and if being gay is ok. 

 

I haven't seen the show I am baseing my comment on the one above.

Yes the bible says these things.  It also says that we should not  fornicate, commit adultery, steal, disrespect our parents...  I could go on.  Leviticus is about all types of sin.  Homosexuals did not corner the market on this.  Why are they so easy to cast stones at?  Maybe we don't like to look at the ways that we offend God.

Your husband isn't living a gay lifestyle.....your husband is GAY.

Are you waiting for someone to put him to death? After all....if that is what the Bible says......

Are you NUTS???  "Living the homosexual lifestyle"???  THE MAN IS GAY.  And the thing that hurt you the most is that he lied to you about taking it up the you know what?  And then you get all Bible on us... No wonder your son is suffering so much.  If you were not so ultra Bible, and all about the "sinners" your son would not view being Gay as anything wrong...But then again...If your husband didn't grow up in a closeted Bible thumping house, he probably would not have been in the closet and gotten married to you, and had kids and messed up so many people, including himself, just so that he could TRY to hide the fact that the Bible types would view him as a SINNER.  OOooohhhh...I am SO GLAD sometimes, that I grew up in Greenwich Village, here, right by the Stonewall, where the Gay Rights movement started when I was about 10 years old.  When I was a kid, I saw men walking down the street holding hands and kissing in the 60's, and I saw women doing that to eachother too, and my parents told me there was nothing unusual or wrong with that.  My mother told me, when I was maybe 4 years old, "sometimes men love men, and sometimes women love women, and sometimes men love women, and it's all the same...It's just LOVE."  And my family was not into all that repressive Bible "SIN" stuff.  Nothing is a "sin" if it makes you feel happy and good.  The SIN comes when you have to HIDE YOUR REAL SELF to live up to some IMAGE and end up hurting people, just so they won't call you a SINNER.
