Wow, Patricia, you are incredible. I don't know you, but I can definately feel you. It probably wasn't easy at all to hear that from him, and your reaction must've meant the world to him. Seriously. 
 
I hope you can find someone else to share your romance with, but I hope you two can still hold the family together. It must be tough, but just know there are people out there rooting for you.

I have to agree with john below me. 
It is great you are so accepting after such a thing. 
But you shouldn't stay with him. Or if you two keep the marriage for the kids as a reason, you should at least be looking for someone new.

As with many before me, I applaud your incredible tolerance. 
 
But I must say, reading your story has deeply worried me. You need to take care of yourself. Your husband\'s needs are secondary to yours in this situation, and your husband (ex-husband, by now, I hope) should understand that. Take care of yourself, scream at him when you need, get it all out! Do whatever you must do (within the bounds of the law, of course). 
 
When I read that you went to gay clubs with him, I almost died. Not even I can stand gay clubs, and I\'m one of \"them.\" 
 
But, hey, I\'m young. I could easily be being naive. 
Please take care.

Please remember your husband does love you nothing can change that.He also loves his children all he has done his admit his feelings which must of mean absolute agony after all these years.He didnt married you to hide himself, he married you because he love you and in your heart you know he does. Love is crazy, you can love one person but want something else.

Well, I must say, its very nice of you  
others would have taken it differently. it would hsve been bad for the kids. you made a good decision.

I think that you are amazing and very good for having taken the news so well. While it is noble and admirable that you accept your husband and care about his feelings, I hope also that you are considerate of your feelings and needs as well. If I were in your shoes, I would get out and start my own life. I know that it will be difficult, but you both will be happier for it. You can continue seeing eachother and you may become the best of friends, but don't sacrifice your heart and your life for his.

You have done so much for your husband. More than any wife should be expected to do. Your testiment shows true love, and its people like you that still make marriage in our world, worth it. 
 
You must however take stock of your own feelings as well. Have you any friends or family that you can surround yourself with in this tough time? You and your husband (and children) are at the moment living on the never never. Sooner or later the pendulem will sway. It's up to you to decide which way. The best that can come out of this, is a deep, close and ever lasting friendship. Surely, thats what marriage is all about, when sex is taken out of the equation? Make it clear to your husband (and yourself) that you are no longer 'together'. You are free to meet a new man, as is he. You will always both be there for your children, and each other. But not in the traditional sense. In this situation you have to bite the bullet. And you've well and truely swallowed it. It's up to your husband now to honour that duty, and give something back to your happiness. If you, (or anyone that is reading this and is in a similar situation) wants to talk to me, just look up my profile on the GYC, and PM me. I will be happy to speak anytime.
