I'm new here. 4 days ago my husband of 25 years shared (finally) that he is gay. There are no words to describe my state though i imagine others here know. we told our 3 daughters saturday and now i do not know what to do. he's still here in the house, in our bed and i feel angry, betrayed, devastated, terrified, confused. i think i want him to leave sooner rather than later. its too painful seeing him here yet knowing nothing is nor will ever be the same...

Hi jacki,

Welcome! I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are likely in a state of shock. We understand and hopefully we can help.

Could you start a new thread of your own in the "support" forum section?
Click here: http://straightspouse.boardhost.com/viewforum.php?id=3
then find the little box on the right that says New Topic.

This way we can get some dedicated conversation to support you.

HI Jacki,
I've been where you are-only a few months ago. Married 27years. Theres a section called-support-. You'll see it on the main page. Please post for us in there. You will then see you are not alone at all. xxx

Vic, this site is not about servers or their support, debian or otherwise.

I’m very proud that this post is still here. Pinned and viewed over 20,000 times I think. (Can’t see the number of views on my phone) I’m glad that it has been so helpful to newbies.

The post actually pre-dates 2016. It was brought over from the old forum (Voyforums?)

I have updated it a few times as I have seen new acronyms arise in the forum posts. If anything new should be on there please let me know.

I’ve kinda been expecting it to disappear because times change and some things in there might not be ‘PC’ any more.

Anyway… thanks and love to you all.
