If it were a loved one like family, I would be disappointed that they hadn't told me long ago. If it were my husband, it wouldn't happen. I don't have one. And the ex? He never could accept the fact that he was gay. But everyone figured it out. And I divorced him. He lived a lie his entire life. And people shouldn't hide secrets of this magnitude from those they claim to love. People have to be who they are. I wish people had the courage to be themselves always. It saves a world of pain for others.
@PoetryNEmotion It would be so great if they were understanding and accepting about it. Secrets are so hard to keep like these. There is always the fear that you will be exposed somehow and everything compounds.
@ReneeT All I can suggest to for each person to be who they are truly. The ex would like to think he is bi. He is gay. Why not just admit it? He is feminine in appearance and has always been suspected to be gay. He speaks up for gay being fine. Yet he cannot live who he is. I didn't make him that way-he says I did. It is just a cop-out. He was born that way. Be the skin you are in, be the blood too. That's about it. It takes courage to be who you are, deep inside. He always lacked courage.
