My husband came out
Recently, a friend of mine confessed that her marriage of five years is unravelling, as her husband, who she suspected was cheating, actually said he was seeing an 18 year old man. Not only did this break her soul, but it has sent her into chronic depression.1. Seek help2. Take yourself away from the pain3. Let it out4. Connect with who you are
She questioned whether it was her fault, or if there was something she wasn’t doing that she should.
This issue is one many people refuse to talk about. However, the incidences of married women being replaced by men are many, and more and more men are coming out, as the world becomes more liberal.
How should a woman cope when her husband confesses that he is gay?
Don’t suffer in the dark because the expectations you had for your partner have changed. Some women will continue to live in the house and watch their husbands or partners bring in and out different men, and they will turn a blind eye because they are fearful of what their families and friends are going to think and say. But help is necessary to start the healing and this begins when you open your mouth to someone you can trust to be there for you. You might not desire or be in a position to afford professional help, but there must be at least one family member or friend you can confide in. You MUST let it out.
You cannot heal from a wound by sitting and crying over it. If you have to downsize, do so, or if you have to run back to your mother’s house, do so. But whatever it takes, move away from the pain.
It is okay to vent and it is okay to cry, but ensure you let it out and let it go. Do whatever it takes to restore your mind and your heart.
Get into your spirituality and remember who God created you to be and work on you. It will take time, but if you dedicate yourself to rebuilding yourself, you will stand as a fortified woman.
