Dear How to Act It,
Please help. I’m adj sure my husband of more than 20 years is gay.
Some background: I have anxiety, and anxiety can come with paranoia at times. He’s been my only sexual partner, and we were married when I was in my early 20s.

They bring out people’s judgments about what marriage should or should not be. In particular, they bring out people’s judgments about monogamy.

The men in this television program aren’t claiming to be ex-gay nor that they can modify their sexual orientation (at least not on the show). They report they are attracted to men but choose not to live as a gay bloke and their straight wives agree to this.
People seem to get up in arms when a noun says he is not gay but rather simply attracted to men. In our cultu
