I know people will say it’s impossible and I would probably say the same if I saw a thread like this
BUT
I can’t physically leave - the house is rented and I don’t and can’t earn more whilst the DS’s are young.
I do love him and the relationship between him and the children, they would be heartbroken without their dad and I would be heartbroken without them so it’s all a massive mess.
Has anyone stayed until the children were older so not to cause the destruction that will follow?
AIBU?
to be gay but stay with husband for the children?

I realised gradually when I kept having intense friendships with women
Nothing that crossed lines but I could feel becoming too attached - I’ve never had that kind of relationship with any man including my husband.
I told him before Christmas and we’ve bumbled along since
Intimacy is hard for me, I’ve never massively enjoyed the closeness that comes with it.
I can’t earn more than a job that fits around the children’s schooling as he does a job that’s got very unsociable hours so all the school runs ( remote village so no wraparound at school ) comes down to me

Husband won’t accept I’m gay so when I’ve said it’s not fair on him he says it’s ridiculous as isn’t even true
