My wife and I have been together 6 years. In a little over a month, we will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary of being married. When we got together, I knew she was bi and had a history of being with other women, relationship wise. For the past several months, the dynamic changes and something felt off in our relationship. We'd talk but neither one of could put a finger on what was going on. It usually got out of as work stress as my wife runs her own business. But a week and a half ago she had a mental break and a lot of things came out. After a rough few days, it came out that she thinks she may be gay and not bi and possibly wanted to divorce, sell the house we just bought a year ago and explore what she's feeling.
I do love my wife with all of my being and do support her on finding herself and figuring out exactly what is going on. I know this is not something that can happen in a week, a month or even a year.
As a result of our talks, we decided not to rush the divorce and deal with this together like adults, I guess you could say.
I agreed to accept her going out and doing what she has to do for herself as long as we communicate our feelings and concerns. We haven't put a time limit on this process. We are still affectionate with each other to a point. It seems like this whole thing has actually brought us closer and I feel like she is the person I once feel in love with again all those years ago.
I am a "man" that has been raised to not feel and also autistic as well.
Some days I have a harder time coping with all this and other times I'm good. It's such a rollercoaster but she is working with me as well and very understanding of my emotions as well.
So I don't know if I'm looking for tips, advice or knowledge here, but I needed to get this out there to help with the process.
I've been reading all the stories of a marriage actually working with this kind of thing. So if anyone has anything to add, I'm open to hear it.
I also apologize for the ramb
