I find it hard to believe there is no forum for you. However, this is not it. I would suggest you search the many LGBTQ+ support organizations. I'm sure you can find support somewhere. I wish you the best.

Sorry, but your little problem is not of interest to the users of this forum, which is indeed for those who were left behind by people like the guy you have a crush on. It's not your path it is OUR path. As I said you are welcome to send Sean a PM if you really want to know his opinion or insight. However, any further public posts will be deleted as they are not of interest to the users of this forum and may prove hurtful.

I’m not sure what happened here - someone posted asking Sean about being the boyfriend who the cheating husband wasn’t showing up for all the time; that post was taken down, I assume because this is a space for the women on the other side, but then - a chill, Why? .
I deleted the post because this is not a forum for the gay lovelorn. I did not delete the account. He is more than welcome to send Sean a private message. Why the "chill"? I have no idea. Seems I've been fighting off 20 to 40 spammers who register each day and not a lot of new posts from legitimate members. I think in part this format is becoming obsolete.

What network can I find “Vera Series?” Sounds entertaining.
In the US you can stream on Britbox, Amazon prime, or the ROKU channel.

I'm guessing you are posting in the wrong place. Our organization supports straight people who find themselves in a relationship with someone who is LGBTQ. There are no doubt many resources for someone in your position, however this is not one of them. I hope you find what you're looking for.

I had heard in the past (from straight wives whose husbands were involved) that it varies by chapter. Some were indeed hookup clubs, some gave serious support. This was a number of years back, but I would guess the same today.

This is probably not the ideal sub-forum for this post. I would repost this under the Support sub-forum. You have had a terrible shock following a tough ten years. People here get it.

Sam, do you remember that?
I do. It was in Treasure Island, near St Pete. People flew into Tampa. I went there many times. I don't know if it still happens. Last one I heard about was in 2013.

I have been hoping for in-person meetings in Orlando for nearly 3 years now to no avail. I find it hard to believe there are no straight spouses/partners in Orlando...it's Orlando! I will ask one more time. Anyone meetings in Orlando?
Have you tried sending a request at
A lot of groups went inactive when Covid hit and are now becoming active.

I got a mediated divorce in PA and saved a lot of money. Everything is negotiable. If your husband goes along with it, you can insist on whatever arrangements you want. The mediator can't dictate what you do, only point out norms and guidelines to use as starting points. If the mediator insists on this, find another mediator.
