[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you go to counseling and try to stay together, if your marriage has otherwise been good? Why not try? I don’t think this has to be the end.

Did he tell you about the cheating? How did you find out?[/quote]

He gave me an STD and he cheated with men, so...no.[/quote]

So is he gay then? If he is okay with his parents and your friends knowing, maybe you can maintain a relationship with the parents and friends, and even have a friendship with him over time. People should understand that if he is gay, this marriage shouldn’t have happened in the first place. You mention that he is your best friend. Maybe one day you will be confiding in him about your next relationship. [/quote]Nope, he claims he's 100 percent straight.  And of course he doesn't want me to tell anyone.[/quote]

As a person on the receiving end of his behavior, it is your story to tell if you want, to whomever you want.  Don’t let him pressure you into silence out of some misguided notion of fairness, sexual privacy or obligation to protect his sexuality.  That isolates you and cuts you off from any hope of social support.  You have a write to tell your story and be the voice and author of your own life instead of living a gagged life.

That kind of silence is damaging - I know. [/quote]
