Whats the point in being in relationship, in a marriage if you can't have ALL of trust, loyalty, and respect. Doesnt make it right. I never said a word to anyone because I knew how bad she felt about that. So she outed you, and joked with friends about fantasizing about other men during sex because of your sexuality? She's probably said more and worse in the past two years the women have known. Your sexual relationship is basically the basis of trust in your relationship as a whole. She is reacting the right way to this, in that she's clearly upset and remoresful for her actions. Also, the fact that she let her friends talk shit about him while she and OP are supposed to be in a happy marriage Damn, that says a lot. But I'm not actually sorry: people act stupid sometimes. If you think you can continue in a relationship with someone who is so nonchalantly willing to throw you, your feelings, and your whole person under the bus so easily, for what? Im a masculine male with a bit of a cocky arrogance to me and I feel like all my confidence is gone. I would be trembling with furious anger and wouldn't be able to face her with the same amount of trust for a long, long while after this incident. She knows shes an ass, and her friends know their actions were trash. I know that your * secret life * is very personal to you, but not many people will be concerned or even bothered about your sexuality. 2. Youre delusional. You deserve so much better than this. She outed you. Hopefully, she falls into a better crowd that is modern and accepting. So my wife and one of her girlfriends were having a few glasses of wine, and while I was in my office I overheard a very awkward part of their conversation The other woman was complaining about her husband, quite openly, and specifically about the size of his penis. Me: Oh, does (friend) work with Tom? I said this as sarcastically as possible. She hurt you fucking badly. I think that you need a good week to try and think about how you feel, how you're going to be able to contain the gossip and how you move forward with the wife . I agree with the counseling. If this is a hurdle you feel like you cant get past, then work on it. Letting your orientation slip to her friends is one thing, if she was drunk and it was an accident that's understandable, but it wasn't an accident to make fun of you behind your back to her homophobe friends. Hubby is under the bus & she's driving over him again & again unnecessarily! If you feel this can be fixed, try couples counseling, but honestly I only see this ending one way. Your wife betrayed your trust by sharing private details about your sexual preferences with other people. You should seek marriage counseling after this. What she did is disrespectful to you as her husband, to herself as your wife, disrespectful AF to your kids (because they will absolutely hear this rumorone day if you live in a small town) and in my opinion this is a divorce threshold. Right I mean she volunteered stuff when she could have kept her mouth shut. You never speak about your wife in that manner so why do you have to put up with it. He said if i wanna get together for a drink or whatever to let him know. If it was an accident, she should have come clean when it happened. They don't have her best interest at heart and they will just as quickly sow seeds of doubt to her evidently impressionable mind. They are not good people (homophobes are not good people), and they don't give a shit about you or your relationship with her. This right here. If alcohol was involved the first time she told them, maybe she was talking about it because she wanted to get a read on how her friends would react. Sending you strength. As in, never talk to them again. She's probably embarrassed by that, and won't admit it to her friends fearing judgement. Thats some boomer logic about the sex binary of gay/straight. Think about you right now, and what you want. I dated a man who tried to beat the bisexuality out of me because the few girl friends I had were "my type." They had quiet music playing and were talking amongst themselves. Oh come.A- at least. Yes, I do think you need to talk to her about it - it's not something that's going to go away. So will she keep acting to her friends like she has a problem with it? Continuing to discuss, lie and joke about the issue for years is where the problem is. Thank you for giving me my laugh for the day haha. You can't keep things like that a secret forever. Been with each other for roughly 4 years. Regardless, hilarious. Own who you are and youll feel so much better. Or will she stand by him, tell her friends she is the one who was lying because she was afraid of their reactions, and own her shit? Look beyond her faux Pas and look at the positives and what you enjoy. She sounds sorry and your marriage is great, so maybe dont listen too carefully to all the people telling you to get a divorce. So I became kind of a joke and was constantly approached by family and friends, which didnt contributed at all for my stress level. Created by your wife. You deserve that. I have a key and texted her I needed to stay there for the night and she said of course without any questions asked. Once your sexual history was out in the open and left you vulnerable to her girlfriends judgements, she decided to join in and talk shit about it and mention that she thinks of other men while pleasuring you since it turns her off. this sounds like a case of she only sorry she got caught. Will you ever be able to "do the bi stuff" in bed with her again? 2. Add on the fact that her friends were telling her that Tom was in town - thats another reason she needs to drop the problematic friends. We have 2 amazing kids. No matter how much she tells you she really enjoys it, there will now always be that voice in your head that tells you she really doesn't. Juatt know that that is okay and it can take as long as it takes. I suggest an open minded conversation. I think it wouldve been different if maybe she had some concerns and needed someone to confide in about it, but she shouldve never allowed them to speak about you that way. Second communicate. There are hundreds of roles people play all the time. You took that better than I would have. She may end up escalating the situation. Ban the girls from the house. Girls can be katty and have fun taking diggs at each other (guys too but its a stereotypical thing with girls). I packed a bag, kissed the kids goodbye, and told them I was going to grandmas house to help her with something. She said that was why she made the comment about thinking about Tom during some things we do sexually because she felt they were judging her for being with me. Its so stupid, Im sure shes great in all other aspects but she needs to stand up for you. If I was you I would demand you get into couples therapy, and make absolutely clear that the trust you had in her is gone and it is going to take time for that trust to be rebuilt. Sounds like she cares more about what her friends think than how you feel. I doubt your own friends would even care, they might tease you a little but thats what friends do. Go see a divorce attorney. Let that sink in. What else is she keeping from OP? If you two have a solid relationship, you should be able to work through this. She doesnt respect you, man. The good you do today maybe forgotten tomorrow. That power over you is now dissipated - especially if you do your best to be yourself and act normal. But there are definitely lines, and she crossed a big one. Good luck bro! If she can apologize for those things and really work on not doing them in the future, I think I'd forgive her. 1. Winston Churchill When she closes her eyes shes thinking of other men, one of those other men is probably Tom. Lol see. I believe you'll deal with this and adapt. My mom wasnt even home, I had forgotten she was on vacation. Don't go broadcasting it. Standard Group Plc HQ Office, The Standard Group Center,Mombasa Road. Seems to me that because of her indifference to your feelings, she needs to get rid of those friends because she emasculated you in front of them. I don't know that I could ever trust and be vulnerable with her again. Has anyone gone through anything similar? But at least this one has some panache. I am pretty much an open book with my partners. How much more reassurance do you need? Most people in the comments seem to be going off of the deep end here. Good luck, brother. I am so pissed off on OP's behalf. Youd always be thinking if you can trust them enough to give them certain information about yourself. Now's not the time to make decisions. I told this to my then partner with all the trust in the world. And what the fuck do you expect?? You can always tell when they offer up explanations to any potential objections before they're asked. However you don't have to forgive and forget either; life isn't black and white. There was also probably some truth to her bedroom comments. Your wife's unfortunate refusal to do the same speaks to her character too. I would divorce my husband if he let his friends make comments about my sexuality, and then proceeded to say he fantasized about other women during sex. My suggestion? Any time it would come up I would think about those words. Made her feel embarrassed and she knows that she fucked up. You need to accept yourself for who you are. Shes married to a bi man, and her idiot friends shouldnt have the power to make her feel bad about it. This has big sad middle America vibes or something. We were chatting in my kitchen (we own a two family house) and her boyfriend was eavesdropping at the connecting door. For the record, any intelligent person knows that there is no straight/gay/bi sex acts. How you treat your relationship with your wife is up to you, but I would say to her that her friends are homophobic and need to never come by the house again. 2) Your wife flat out lied about her grin and bear it attitude about your sex life regarding the "bi stuff" when she often initiates it. Before my wife was with me she dated a man named Tom. You dont need to have the talk tomorrow. This is now twice that she has blabbed something intensely personal while intoxicatedthat you know about. My step-dad said, "I feel like I always have to watch what I have to say, and I shouldn't have to worry about . Don't go silent on her. He heard her, not us) about visualizing other men. Also you say you feel emasculated. The two judgmental homophobic friends have got to go. If Tom popped back into the picture at any point, Id have told my partner what happened. Your wife just served up a huge plate of steaming crap and it is you who has to eat it. Highlight the fact that obviously the buck didn't stop with her friends as at least one of their husbands know. BigbigbigBIIIIG yikes. I am so sorry this has happened to you. That is a messy situation. Best of luck. Your wife acted poorly. As long as they're not being super stupid, 100% in public and then you tell them off in private. First, I am so sorry she made those statements for whatever the reason. They didnt hear me come into the kitchen. Especially the two narrow minded ones, All these comments already have good points, I just wanna add that you should definitely take your time. But, she finally conceded maybe he was genuine. You and your sexuality are valid and you deserve to be treated as such. My mom was told me drunk words are sober thoughts. I'd also put the missus on a yellow card and ask her to be more honest about the Tom thing; the fact he treated her badly and you're the opposite must be a good factor in staying together. And had kids with you. No. Imagine it was a really graphic conversation, about all her body parts or how she is bad at oral sex, and it included discussions of your ex-girlfiend for comparison. Itd be a dealbreaker for me. Once you know how you need to move forward, she can either own her awful behavior and support you or she can kick rocks. You poor man, I so want to give you a hug. Do you believe what she told you? Maybe. I think that is a much worse betrayal, to laugh at him behind his back with these people he thinks are friends. Keep sleeping on it, brother. It's tough but I would stay just for the kids. Women get cold feet around marriage, but she decided to be with you. You're married to the person who should MOST be on your side and she has completely betrayed you for a fucking laugh. Women talk shit to each other just as much as men do. As for the rest of it, definitely couples counseling. I would just ask why her friends opinions matter more than yous twos intimacy. To at least one person. OP-the one man who reached out to you, I feel he is a solid individual and have to give You major points to talking with him. Gaslight, blameshifting, shamming, begging by the end and finally divorce. Your marriage is between the two of you. Between stimulus and response, there is a space. we're both 28. The best part was, after a couple of months, everything was solved, tadalafile was no longer necessary, I find out she had a hookup during that period. Bisexuality is valid. Kidding aside. This opens up two main issues, and a third tangential one, as follows: In the first scenario: She crossed a boundary and (un)consiously violated your trust. i would like to add a partner should never ever make you feel ashamed or embarrassed about your sexuality. She said 'girls talk' and she has to have someone to talk to about stuff. Its amazing where friendship comes from in the darkest of times. That's a MASSIVE breach of trust and decency, while you want to make it about him snooping? After some investigation the the psychologist and clinic consensus was that my mind was f***ed up. This crap has been swimming around for TWO FUCKING YEARS. This is tough, because you're obviously going through it and I'm sorry you are hurt, very truly. With women like you out there in the world, why the fuck would anyone settle for less? From one bi to another, I'm sorry you had to go through this, it's a bisexual's nightmare scenario to hear your long-term partner say this kind of shit. This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of agree with you. Do not make them feel you're different because you're not! Dont just move on forget, learn from it. There are good comments here, so Im not going to get into that. Embarrassed..then it turned to rage. I will say at least you dumped the shit on the table straight away and didn't try to eat it by yourself. Dont slide back to her. Most people will say bi/lesbian women are "ok" because it's "hot" (I've been told that), and will see bi/gay men as an atrocity just because it's men with other men. I'm reading all the comments and really appreciate the advice and support guys . If you love her and things work, then your answer is clear. I reckon that weve all said things we wouldnt want our SO to hear at some point. Sounds like there needs to be an understanding formed between you guys and what is appropriate conversation with friends. There is now a before and an after in your marriage. First of all, I think we all say less than admirable things about our SOs at times. What you say too each other is one thing but to the outside world your SO is the best cook lover protector whatever. Second, your wife may have been shitface drunk when she blabbed your secret, but she should have refused to talk about it thereafter. Well he's not open about being bi so I'm pretty sure he does care about it. At the very least there's some trust work that will need to be done to rebuild some things. If my friends talked about my SO like that I would be livid and we wouldnt be friends anymore. Thirdly, those friends have got to GO. But something you might ask her about. Are there no angry bi men who look like grocery store managers? Do good anyway. Allow yourself to feel all of your emotions and really process them before jumping into heavy discussion with her. That's a lifetime story . b- for creative writing, but this is total BS. I also pointed out that every single one of her relationships ended up being abusive so she had no right to tell me to leave my boyfriend when he'd never lay a finger on me. I just dont believe that all the people who have commented how awful your wife is, have never said things they regret. Her voice was strained and raspy. Uh huh. Stand firm in that it wasn't okay to disclose private information that you didn't want to be made public. After some begging I agreed to come home tomorrow and talk. I told her I cant believe shed ever say something like that or not tell me how she felt.she continued to swear she was just being stupid and didnt mean or feel anything she said. Soooo. She failed at the number one attribute an SO needs to be, your SO's most ardent defender. Things that concern only you two she turn into an open truth and open truths she kept from you. Agreed! It just seems like shes ashamed of it an projecting. It's not their sex life that she discussed, it's HIS sexuality, something he stated he largely kept private. That's the truth. IDK what it's like to be bi and married but I am sure it present some special problems/concerns with you and your status in your social circle. Your wife betrayed your trust, and knowingly let her friends make homophobic comments. You are NOT overreacting. Couples therapy is a must, but it is on your wife to earn your trust back. Your sexuality isn't really fodder to take the piss out of. So she's been hiding this for a couple years instead of letting him in on all the jokes behind his back. Or even a long drive. Frankly I would be more able to forgive infidelity than I would these kind of conversations. You are not overreacting. Shes hurt you, she needs to stand by you and say that shes proud of you and supports you, has no doubts, and enjoys it herself. So I would lean towards suggesting forgiving her and working on this. As a not entirely straight guy myself I would be pretty mortified to go through this. It's not cool she didn't. Don't fight. Mahatma Gandhi She is the person who is supposed to have your back the most, and not only did she not, she threw you to the wolves and also took some bites herself. Ok. My late uncle had to watch his wife leave him on his sick bed because she couldn't bring herself so be seen that way, talking about "a whole me tending to a sick man, me I can't oh let his family do it ".. Even if it was a close call, you dont say that. It's terrible. I'm not sure how your marriage survives without professional help. Its not an easy solution. If its been a long time she maybe used to be that way but not anymore and still knows how to do the diggs they like. Finding this out, I personally dont know if I could get past it. And sometimes its nice to vent about the small stuff and have close friends relate to you and help you feel youre not alone. I can understand your hurt, and breach of trust, but people act stupid sometimes. There is no combination of words that will make all this just go away.
