Sexual identity struggles

“Eventually, I ended up telling her that I was gay and that I was attracted to men, which obviously ended our marriage. This was a very difficult and painful time for me, living a double life and acting in ways that felt destructive, harmful and painful, both to her and I. It was a huge relief when I finally was able to acknowledge my sexual orientation both internally to myself, as well as to my then-wife. However, this struggle was just the beginning because I now had to tell my family and friends about my orientation.”
