My(26M) wife(29F) just came out to me that she likes women and not men, and I’m not in the slightest okay with it.
We’ve been together for about 5 years but we were friends before that and I’ve pretty much been living a lie.
I’ve seen for the first time in years what she looks like when she’s actually happy and not faking it, that just feels like a punch in my stomach.
Last time I saw her like this was back in the early stages of our relationship. I have been falling deeper in love with her every day that we were together and we even had a beautiful son and now everything’s all over the place.
I can’t really just up and leave to go process all of this because of my son but I can’t stand being here and seeing her every other day.
I mean I’ve been pretending everything is okay but every time I see her I wanna scream until my head explodes.
We agreed to get divorced early next month and have already agreed to share custody, she seems to be happy that’s she’s finally herself and it just makes me angry that I’m the one that has to pretend now so that things stay smooth, hypocritical of me yes but I’m only human and I can’t really lie to myself until I believe that I’m not angry.
I really don’t want to be an absent father but I also would prefer not to interact with her for some time until I can properly deal with my anger towards her.
