I'm curious to see how common lavender marriages or mixed-orientation marriages these days. If anyone feels safe sharing, I would be interested to hear how it works.

Im not sure what mine is considered....but i did catch him cheating with both men and women for the first 4 years of our marriage. He swears he isn't gay but its now 10 years in and we have sex maybe 1 time a month and its initiated by me.
I love him with all my heart but wish I knew the truth of what he wanted. It's hurtful to everyone to hide who you are.

@KittenAndFox I'm not involved in one myself, but I hear they're still quite common.
It can be out of protection in an environment where being queer isn't safe, or it can be because a person discovered their orientation only after being married, or any other reasons.
It ranges from people struggling to make things work to genuine allyship and true emotional bond between the two. In other words, it can go from very bad to great depending on the situation and the people in involved. I don't have a personal experience to share, though
