My Husband Was Cheating With A Man. So We Made An Unexpected, Life-Changing Decision.
Huff PostWestend61 via Getty Images I stood at the edge of the pool with my toes gripping the cold stone. I felt a sense of closeness and trust with my husband ― this weekend was a celebration of sorts for the last 18 months of work we’d put into our relationship, as we tried to build back intimacy after our marriage had essentially burned to the ground. I helped create his online dating profile, took sexy pictures of him to upload, and sent him advice articles on gay relationships.” In between bouts of crying in the shower, sleepless nights and reading every self-help book sold on Amazon, I decided that if Stuart was gay, I could be his best friend ex-wife and we could have this big gay family. At times, we felt like we were working at warp speed ― simultaneously working on ourselves, our relationship and Stuart’s burgeoning understanding of his sexuality. For the exquisite lotus flower to bloom, it has to rise from the deep, dark muck.” That night, 18 months after we began this journey together, at the edge of the pool at that Airbnb, full of emotion, I finally told Stuart the truth about why I do not go into pools.
