Today, my husband of 19 years took our children out for dinner, told them he's gay, then sent them home to tell me for him. FML

I am the OP, and I thank those of you who offered support to me, and my children. For the record: my husband and I divorced a month ago. I asked him REPEATEDLY what the status of his relationship was with his roommate, and he looked me right in the eye every time and denied they were involved. Two weeks after the divorce was granted in court, he told the kids the truth. FML only accepts stories that start with "today...." so yes, I fudged that bit a little. They have been together for two years. We were still in marriage counseling when they started up. And no, I didn't know. Seriously. I didn't, When someone you have known and loved for 20 years tell you something, you tend to believe it. Until you find out your whole life was a lie, that is.

Did you kids say:"We like having two dads like you, daddy. Mom's the bitch anyways." Now, that, would be FML squared!

They must have been older to be able to go home themselves and tell you. But that is terrible OP, it's hard for the kids to deal with (parents will divorce, dad will suddenly be with a man) and they have to tell you and see you break down! (considering you were either in denial or really didn't know) No one deserves a partner like that

regardless, he would have been gay the whole time, it's not like you wake up one day and decide to be gay.

True but he may have been living his life denying it and one day came to a realization for some reason and said to himself 'Yes, I'm gay'.

OP, you're a stronger woman than I am. I would have totally snapped. Men do not understand the pain they cause when they decide to 'cover up'. While he's skipping through the daisies, you're at home asking WHY! Now you have to make the family announcements AND you still have to look at this inconsiderate jerk rub his newfound happiness in your face. How DARE he? Well, FYL hon. Stay strong like Elizabeth Edwards!!
