[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I realized I was gay a few years ago. The signs were there early in life, but I went ahead with marriage to a man and having kids. I was never able to climax with him but I thought that was just my lot in life.
When I realized what was up, I wavered, considered sticking things out a few more years, and [b]kept it a little quiet until I was financially able to leave[/b]. Divorce finalized during pandemic. I met someone after I was separated - she came out late in life for other reasons/religious upbringing. It’s been a bumpy road and we are still figuring things out. But one thing is sure - I am GAF.

You kept it "quiet" until you were financially able to leave?  To get "financially stable", did you drain the joint bank accounts?  Saddle him with debt (including mortgage debt)?

If this poster would have been a man talking about taking these steps prior to leaving his wife for an AP (or just wanting to be single), this board would have crucified him. Please tell me, DCUM, how this story is different.

It is nice that you are GAF.  How is he?  Would he have been better if you did not keep it quiet until you dropped the bomb on your lives and finances?

Nice try. A woman leaving with children is nothing like a man leaving for an AP. It would be irresponsible for her to walk out without thinking through how she can support her children. And don't say child support, that's not nearly enough to give your children a stable quality of life if you were out of the work force or otherwise underemployed to mommy track. [/quote]
