I read this article shortly after my husband told me he was gay and before finding SSN. To me it sounded like she wrote the article hopped up on Valium. Maybe cause she has years under her belt she could write so ‘fluffy’? Idk, but for me it at least affirmed that I can’t live in a bubble of thinking that we’re gonna make this work when he says he wants to be with men. I am not going to emotionally support him on this journey of self discovery. There is too much I have to do for me and even if I didn’t need to do for me - this is a solo mission he is on, we are no longer a team if he wants to be in a relationship with someone else. I’m still in shock and denial. For now it’s therapy - solo and couples (for now), peer group mtgs, conversations and SSN. Staying realistically present.

I've just read this for a third time and now I'm even more convinced it sounds like a story written for the sake of writing a story to prove that getting through this can happen if you can just put your doubt behind you and believe anything...lol
I don't know if this person is real but happy pictures with your children's faces shown is a bit off...and then halfway through there's a video available on how to tell children about divorce.
I think this whole thing is an advertisement. It's just too clean, too "we go through hell but come out the other side stronger, happier and sweeter." We all know it doesn't happen like that right?

I think it's written to pull at heart strings....I see it as a polarizing piece to champion 'authenticity' and to stir up debate.

Almost a women's magazine article. Definitely not worth hurling over
