When I Learned My Husband Was Gay

The news that my husband of 28 years wanted to "live the rest of his life as a gay man" was meted out to me over the course of three days ranging from the startling news that he had to "get his own place" to him possibly being bisexual.

Those three days were hell on earth and culminated in my begging him not to leave, all played out in front of teenage sons. My older brothers were convinced that he was having a psychotic break and rejected the sexuality angle as impossible.

But it was true.
