Aibu to feel sorry for his wife?

My husband says that they were having problems before so their split may not be entirely down to him being gay. I completely disagree!

They have two children whom I also feel bad for (not because their dad is gay, but because their parents have split).

Does it matter?
Aren't kids better in 2 happy homes than one shit one?

Worthyornot · 22/10/2022 12:59

Why are you two so inquisitive about somebody else's life? Is the hairdresser related to you?

Lentil63 · 22/10/2022 12:59

No you are not wrong to feel sorry for his wife but I wonder why you express no sympathy for him?

rwalker · 22/10/2022 13:00

Your over invested judging without knowing full facts and both sides you sound desperate for him to be the villain

ilovesooty · 22/10/2022 13:01

Is he a good hairdresser?

KylieCharlene · 22/10/2022 13:01

Yabu to really give it much of a thought.
He's your hairdresser - not a close relative .

liveforsummer · 22/10/2022 13:03

I mean they were probably having problems BECAUSE he was gay, it certainly wouldn't have helped. Of course feel sorry for the wife but I'd feel sorry for couples in any number of circumstances.

MarshaMelrose · 22/10/2022 13:03

You can give it thought if you want. It's your head - you think what you like.

2bazookas · 22/10/2022 13:22

How is this any business of you and your husband? Or MN?

Hankunamatata · 22/10/2022 13:24

Feel sorry for both of them. Must be incredibly hard for both if them. Hopefully they can find a way to co parent together

Oh look, it’s the “none of your business” loons. 90% of the posts of MN are no ones business. Doesn’t stop people debating or talking about it.

Deadringer · 22/10/2022 13:26

A gay hairdresser, goodness whatever next.

Vikinga · 22/10/2022 13:27

Yes I feel sorry for anyone in a relationship with someone attracted to the opposite sex. It never had a chance and they wasted a lot of time.

One fo my friends is gay but doesn't want to be because he is very religious. He is married to a woman and I feel really sorry for the both of them.

If you're gay and don't want to admit it stay bloody single!!

Boredsoentertainme · 22/10/2022 13:28

Did you just fancy gossiping about this.

honestly get a life

KitchiHuritAngeni · 22/10/2022 13:29

Yanbu to feel anything, you could feel that she should wear a blow up fish suit and a pair of flippers if you want. It's your head/thoughts 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not really your problem or issue to comment on though, let alone put a probably quite outing post for the couple on MN as if it's your business.

GoSomewhereThatDoes · 22/10/2022 13:32

Of course yanbu to feel sorry for his wife.

Yabu to start discussing it on a public forum. These are people who haven’t signed up to have their personal lives picked up on and discussed by lazy journalists. Wtf were you thinking?

Thurst · 22/10/2022 13:34

I always feel sorry for the persons other half when someone comes out later in life. It must make you really doubt the whole relationship. It’s sad for everyone.

mavismorpoth · 22/10/2022 13:38

Strange question, why would be unreasonable for you to feel something you can't help feeling?
If it was unreasonable, what then? Can you stop yourself?

BatshitBanshee · 22/10/2022 13:53

What does it have to do with you?

Lesserspotteddogfish · 22/10/2022 13:53

I feel sorry for the wife and children. I don’t feel sorry for him. Surely someone knows if they are gay and shouldn’t then get into a straight relationship. They must know it won’t be fair to the other person.

cookiecreammmpie · 22/10/2022 13:53

None of your business. And its no different to him having an affair with a woman. Shit happens. She may have knowingly married a gay man for all you know. So don't get involved.

Wombatbum · 22/10/2022 13:54

It’s nothing to do with you…. 🤔

Nothing wrong with being gay or thinking you might be gay, but everything wrong with deliberately hiding it and duping someone into marrying you and having children with you.
