I talked to my husband last night and he was really cool about it. I was afraid he was going to feel hurt or betrayed, but he didn't feel that way at all. He talked me into having an open marriage with him. I didn't think he'd be interested in that, but it was his idea. He also told me he considers himself bi even though he's never been with a man, but that he has been interested in men before. He says most guys he's not interested in though, mostly women. He thinks a lot of guys just don't take care of their bodies, like they don't care about looking good. I agreed with him on that. Women have to look good, but it seems like guys can get away with being slobs if they have a lot of money. We do get along really well and he mentioned that he'd hate to not be able to do things with me like vacations and all the other sorts of fun things I plan. Also, the financial aspect of being separated sucks and I agreed with him on that. It is just way more expensive. I think we would be able to afford it, but I'd rather have more money for the kids. Our oldest will probably be going to college in 3 years. He reminded me why I married him in the first place. He is a very unique person. He is very open minded and a creative problem solver. We do make a good team and I'm thinking maybe this marriage will work out for the long term. We've been married 15 years already. I think if we can get through this, then we're golden. I feel so much better anyhow and I'm very lucky to have such great people in my life. The two friends I came out to were incredibly supportive as well.
