...See more Hi my name is Tyler and my wife and I recently separated due to me being gay and having a same sex affair while married. My ex and I have two children under the age of 7 and our marriage had been rocky from the start. I felt like there was something wrong with me from the age of 16 and I tried to hid my feelings because I was raised in a conservative Christian home where being gay was frowned upon and considered a sin. I hid that part of me for so long even to the point of getting married because I felt like getting married would change my mindset which I was wrong it only heightened my feelings for affirmation from another man. My parents found out about my affair and told me that lifestyle wasn’t Christian like and I need to get into counseling to help me work through my problems. Counseling helped for awhile but I still felt like I wasn’t doing anything wrong by having encounters with other men. My wife and I are separated now and we are sharing custody with our children and it’s lonely not having someone here to talk to about the struggles of everyday life or just to have the companionship of coming home to someone and relaxing on the couch. How has everyone else overcome these feelings of being lonely or not accepted?
