Ordinary Guy,  I hear what you are saying.  However, at some time you have to tell a movement that they don't get to control what you say, think or do.   Look at what's happened ot women's sports because people are afraid to speak up.    What happens when the letter "M" for minor attracted person is added to the lexicon of letters will people no longer be able to speak up about pedophilia.  Don't say it won't happen,  California is already using the term minor attracted person and Drag Queens at kids story hours is damn near there.   It's time Straight Spouses be the movement that others have to worry about offending. 

I'm sorry Sam.   I know you have been through your times as well.   It's just that ever since Our Path became the name of this group,  It just appears that the concern has been appearing politically correct to the outside world and not us the Straight Spouses.   It appears that even Our Path  views the Straight Spouse appears to be a byproduct of the society correcting a great wrong and we just have to bite our lips and put up with it.   People should not be censored for what they say about gays and transgenders on this site have you ever thought this is the only place some victims of betrayal by there spouses have to go to express their true feelings. 

Censorship of Straight Spouses feelings and beliefs is what I feared when Straight Spouses changed its name to Our Path because "Straight" had negative connotations and the organization had to at least appear supportive of the LGBTQ+ in order to get contributions.   Now here we are Straight Spouses can not speak their mind or express an unpopular opinion or incorrect according to the science of the day.   

What ever contribution and growth Our Path has achieved has been at the expense of sacrificing the Straight Spouses the group the organization was originally created to help. 

I believe we are born straight.   men were meant for women and women for men.   I believe that society's unwillingness to elaborate on right and wrong has led to children being led astray by adults afraid of hurting the child’s feelings and adults saying to other adults what ever floats your boat.  Also the disintegration of marriage in general has made it easy for society to celebrate the spouse coming out while ignoring the straight spouse and children that coming out destroys.

Clif,

It's a hard realty that one we trust most could harm us the most and the most we could get from that person is a half harted "sorry" at best.    When I was going through my divorce my ex-wife could only discuss it as business.   So damn cold and impersonal from someone I was married to for 20 years.
