Quote From: joyfulagrlI 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
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.
Have you ever had the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right with your relationship? Dr. Phil’s guests say they saw several red flags before they walked down the aisle, but they looked the other way and still said, “I do.” Randall and Shawn were happily married until Shawn discovered men’s magazines in her husband’s bag. Now Randall is out of the closet as a gay man, and he’s struggling to keep his family together. Shawn wants to know if they should stay married for their two pre-teen children or get a divorce. How are their kids handling the news that their father is gay? And, Natalie says she’s leaving if her husband, Robert, doesn’t change his lazy ways. She says he hasn’t worked in a year and watches TV all day while she works, cooks, cleans and pays bills. Robert says he’s pursuing his dream of writing a novel, but Natalie says the book is an excuse to sit on his butt all day. Is Robert a talented undiscovered writer or a freeloading husband?
