  What is the right partner? 15 September 2003

  of A customer

  review is from: My husband is gay: The Woman’s Guide to survive the crisis (Paperback)

  This book was a good accounting of the various stages of grief by a straight spouse who experienced it in no way reveals that her husband is gay. There are validation right partner she is not alone.
  but to my disappointment, but book appears also in the direction of gay marriage partner, fight, how terrible it must have been inclined, for him. It seems the woman on a path that leads to the result, “it is good, I still love it, we can still be friends.” For me, it will never agree, and it should never agree. Infidelity is incorrect. This does not mean that I would be angry forever in a destructive way. I’m mad now (1 1/2 years after my divorce, and nearly nine years after I first discovered), but I know that is less intense. Straight spouses must stand up for yourself and be counted to say, this is not correct and that the sex spouses do not have responsibility for knowing and not being honest with yourself and take women they are married. It is not normal to be unfaithful to your wife, even if she is with another man, because you are gay. You get a divorce first, take care of children and other practical aspects of marriage, and then proceed if you need to. This book seems to pity men gay marriage and not enough support and sympathy for women who are almost always left with all responsiiblity – the author himself admits that her husband spent time on holiday with other men, so that the full burden of the society, they have to take together. Just because someone is gay and married not give license to their responsibilities, and the author seems gay men can too easily. More attention should be paid to strengthening straight spouses, stand up for yourself and ask for their gay men do their share of the marriage contract are. Nothing in the wedding vows that says “until death do us part, when I found out that I am gay to find, and then all the paris are open padding-top: 10px; clear:”.

  target = Shirl” Wonder Woman “ (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) –

  This review is from: My husband is gay: The Woman’s Guide to the Crisis (Paperback) I bought this book because my husband decided that he’s gay. Since we first had a friendship many years ago, and then we turned on the romance, we survive with this situation still live together with our children. We provide a transition period to get out. The children are too young to hear the circumstances, so that they do not even suspect. But I have so many questions, as they had to deal with it, not sure why it is gay. But this book has helped me to confirm that I certainly do not change direction, he and I had two thoughts for a moment, it could be required of him, but oh, no, we are Christians and really love the Lord. Just hearing about the situation of the other women is an aid to go about their own problems. You almost feel like you are sitting on this support group to talk about their problems with the man to listen to. I feel that my husband and I have certainly taken the high road in the transition to a possible separation. We intend to continue to participate as a very “family,” and I hope it’s sometime in the distant future, a man whom I can make a full relationship together. My husband is an amazing person and his father, and I still want him in my life, in the lives of our children. It hurts so much now through this work, the tears keep coming, my husband and I continue to have to deal with the future of our talk about “family.” Carol book is very comforting, focuses on the preservation of health, bring to a place of peace, the right partner, while you work through your problems. There is no workbook, but I’ve really calmed down and helped headline a best friend, person, and his father, also love to my husband, now as always, so to transmit that life can go to me in a positive and healthy. “Get through” his last section on measures to be peace and love, which, if played by anyone, in my heart, I know this is the better way. I know my husband hurts me, because this incredible situation hurts and influence “beautiful” family as it is ours. Carol has helped me to work on my anger. I sit on the book when you feel angry, annoyed and confused, reading and stop reading at a time, then feel hopeful, peaceful and returned to a path of love and health to perform which of my actions both for myself and my man who is obviously an advantage for our children, we love above all. His words, as a person of value can be viewed, etc., have been encouraging.
  Happy is, this book will help you on your way in a situation that is obviously disastrous for all.

  This review is from: My husband is gay: Guide of women to survive the crisis (Paperback)

  As director of the spouse network right after listening the stories of thousands of spouses, I can say without hesitation that my husband is gay, an accurate picture of the ups and downs of a woman has painful journey after her husband reveals he is [gay] or bisexual. Weaving her personal story with those of many other womenn she interviewed Carol Grever offers a wide range of best practices on how to get through this crisis in one piece – and real opportunities for growth in the process.
