DH being terrible

So a number of weeks ago DS told me and DH that he is gay and is seeing someone, I already knew but was waiting for when DS was ready to tell me although I was also dreading it because of DH. I have told DS everything is fine and I'm happy as long as he's happy however DH on the other hand is saying he can't accept and won't accept our DS.

Our DS is 18 now and aware of his dad's views but not to the extent of them.

DH is saying I'm going against him and making our DS think homosexuality is normal and that I'm jeopardising our marriage so I just feel in an awful situation and that I'm stuck in the middle.

DH has never been accepting of same sex couples as my brother is gay, so he's not going to change now. I really need to look at my options as I'm going to divorce DH as I can't stay with him with his behaviour towards DS.

I just wouldn't want to leave this house as it was my late mum's.

I don't know why I'm posting really I just feel I need to vent to other mums as this has been going on a good few weeks and have felt I have nobody to talk to about it.

I'm so sorry for the position you're in OP. Maybe a solicitor could help you find a way of keeping the house.

Please ignore the usual nastiness on here, it's why I usually have Relationships hidden. Such a shame.

Exactly op isn't responsible for her husband's outdated bigoted views.
The husband can't make the son something he isn't.
The husband wants to come into this century.

You divorce him. You aren’t in the middle of anything. You should always put your son first. I am surprised you didn’t divorce him once he had issues with your brother.
