[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I don't have any hang ups about it.  It doesn't change how I feel about or view my husband.  We were just hanging out on the couch talking and he said "There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time," and he told me.  He says that he doesn't really think much about the abuse anymore.  Being his wife, I can see some ways that it may still be affecting him.  As far as the "relationship," is it pretty normal for men to experiment but still be heterosexual?  I'm accepting, but a bit confused.[/quote]

I guess that depends on what you mean by "normal." Is it common? Maybe, maybe not. I know men who have had very strong emotionally charged relationships with other men that were definitely ROMANTIC but weren't sexual. I think it's more socially acceptable for women to experiment like that, because we are a patriarchal society who thinks that's "hot" and not deviant. If by "normal" you actually mean "healthy" then I would say yes, it is perfectly healthy to experiment sexually, provided that the experimentation happens healthily (use protection, get consent, etc.).

What are the ways that you believe it's affecting him? More importantly, what does he want you to do with this information?[/quote]
