Everytime I hear a story abt a closeted gay man coming out of later in life the usual response is support & sympathy.
That's a great thing I guess.
Supporting pple who are victims of societal pressures but where is the support & sympathy for the wife? What abt her?

Why is she not allowed to be angry? To be devastated? To be hurt?
Like I feel sorry for the guy. Pressured into living a lie in fear of societal backlash but what abt the women who he lied to?
He said he loved her romantically when he was never even sexually attracted to her.

Is she homophobic for being devastated after finding out that the man who fathered her children, her life partner, who she loved, built a life with, trusted, shared finances with. Married.
Did ALL these things under the impression that this man loved her too but never did?

I'm not making this thread to villainise, demonise and hate on closeted gay men. Look I understand why they were in the closet.
But why did they have to marry women? Why did they have to lie? Why do they have to use women as pawns. A means to an end.

All the opportunities stolen from the woman. All the pple that would have loved her. The family, future, love and happiness she could have had in a true partner that was at the VERY LEAST romantically and sexually interested in her.
I know not all het relationships are truthful, completing, healthy, loving or successful.
I know not every het marraige is a successful one
But goddamn. No one deserves to be lied to like that. No one deserves to have their choices taken away from that again

And then the wife is gaslighted and villainised in front of society and the community by not being happy, accepting and supportive.
Like what the fuck? Why is she expected to be all these things? Fuck that shit.
Call it what it is. A man USED a woman. She was a pawn

He stole from her. He stole something IRREPLACEABLE. he stole YEARS. He stole her womb. He still her entire fucking life and used her as a support human and that's fucked up but typical male behaviour.
Women are not pawns. They are not tools. They're not support humans
Women are not pawns. They are not tools. They're not support humans
This is a story as old as time. It's happened again and again and it's still happening so why are women being villainised for not wanting to be with male attracted men?
Why are we seen as homophobic for purposefully avoiding relationships with when who aren't straight?
