What to do if husband is gay
What Would You Do If You Found Out Your Husband Was Gay?
It’s hilarious. As he came out of the closet, I felt like I was being forced in. No-one understood. No-one really knew what to say. When he came out, he was greeted with encouragement and affirmation. There were support groups for male lover married men, forums where he could discuss what he was going through. He was finally creature true to himself, forging a new identity, taking his destiny into his own hands. I was left alone to pluck up the pieces. Unseen. Unheard.
We met in our late teens and the attraction was instant: he was very cute, and always had a bevy of adoring women hanging out of him, but he seemed to only have eyes for me. We had the similar sense of humour, liked the same things, and six weeks later, we hooked up and were one of the first couples in the gang to marry and resolve down.
The first question everyone asks me is, did I have any plan back then about his sexuality? Any inkling? And the answer is no, I didn’t. But then again, I don’t consider he did either. Not really. We were childish and fairly innocent. I, for one, di
Finding Joy After Finding Out Your Husband is Gay
The Loveys are an Australian “grown-up girl band” of quirky, bejewelled, intelligent, whimsical, bold women who can laugh at themselves and the travesties of existence (even finding out in your late 60s that your husband is gay!), while also tackling subjects like divorce, death and dementia with soulful genuineness. These are women who look age in the face and say: I dare you to get an ounce of animation from me! I hold a lot of living to do!
No topic is off the cards with The Loveys. Do you think “spinster” is an old-fashioned term describing the kind of woman you should feel sorry for? Think again! Do you think you’re destined to a life of loneliness? Think again! Do you think septuagenarian sex is something you’ve never heard of or don’t crave to think about? Assume again! (And if you’re not convinced, keep reading!)
“Like a bejewelled version of the Kransky Sisters – kitsch, intellectual and entertaining as hell!” (Hobart Municipality Festival of Voices)
I was privileged to see The Loveys perform live at Melbourne’s Butterfly Club last Saturday. W

Dear How to Do It,
Please help. I’m pretty sure my husband of more than 20 years is gay.
Some background: I have anxiety, and anxiety can come with paranoia at times. He’s been my only sexual partner, and we were married when I was in my initial 20s. We are of similar ages, but he had been in other sexual relationships, which was fine with me. I just hadn’t. Now, plus years and multiple kids later, half our marriage has been him not wanting to possess much to act with physical stuff like kissing, cuddling, or sex—unless I perform on him, usually. I am lonely as hell. We sleep in the same bed, but I sense like we are just roommates. He’s not super signify, and I’ve brought this conversation up so many times up over the last 15 or so years, but every time there’s another reason: He has bad breath; he’s tired; he just wants to be with his friends (I’m not invited). He says every time I bring it

Signs of a Gay Husband – Is My Man Gay?
The clearest way to know if your husband is gay is if he tells you. If the husband is honest with both you and with himself (read: How Do I Know If I Am Gay? Signs You Are Gay), that is when you can truly know that he is gay. Unfortunately, it is estimated that 50% of same-sex attracted husbands hide their homosexuality from their wives and don't contact this place of honesty on their own. In many cases, it is the wife, who after suspecting that something is wrong, must confront the same-sex attracted husband with the evidence, and only then can honestly be achieved.
But if you're wo
