    Looking for Co-Processing Materials

    My husband has come out as gay and we are seeking reading materials to help us process this together. I am currently reading "When Your Spouse Comes Out", which has been exceedingly helpful. I am looking for suggested reading materials written for both spouses intended to be read together to work through and facilitate discussion and processing. If no such material exists, I would also be interested in reading suggestions for my husband to read while I'm reading "When Your Spouse Comes Out", in order to facilitate open dialogue and co-processing. We want to work through this together (in addition to our individual healing practices) to maximize recovery so we can continue our friendship in the future. Thank you!

    Re: Looking for Co-Processing Materials

    I don't know if there is anything like this out there. To be honest, he could probably use a little perspective from your side of the closet. Many here have seen their spouse (or ex) jump headfirst into their exciting new life with nary a thought about the world they just shattered, and it hurts. If I could offer any advice it would be "Always be kind."
