One Gay Man's Story: What Could I do?





One Gay Man's Story: She Heard Me Talking In My Sleep


        

One Gay Man's Story: Still Trying to do "What's Right."

   
        So at this point, I was working 55+ hours a week that required about an hour of driving to get there...!  Ok!  That's what I had to do ...

One Gay Man's Story: Trying to be straight! Oops! No diaphragm!


      
          I feel sure that just wanting to be a faithful husband, a good father, and a provider for the family has never been enough to keep a marriage together.  

One Gay Man's Story: I was so Inept from the Honeymoon Onward


     It wasn't her fault!  I felt more guilty than ever!  I had no urge for it all!  I was trying to become straight, but it wasn't happening!  I had no answer but "I've got to endure this thing."  She was worthy of love and being loved by a man who wanted a wife.  I did not have the courage to admit that I was not fit for it.  I did not have the moral fortitude to admit that I was deceiving myself.  My ineptness ended up impacting more than four lives!  

     

One Gay Man's Story: Get Married to Become Straight


     I did not "come out" as Gay until after my divorce.  Before the marriage, explicitly I explained my "problem."  I remained faithful to that marriage.  Two children later, she heard me talking in my sleep ... about situations that never happened in reality.  I can't prove or disprove anything that she said that I said.  All I know is that she filed for a divorce, and, according to her, her lawyer could "run you (me) up the creek."  A few years later, her lawyer tried to argue a "homosexuality case" before the Clayton County Superior Court judge Stephen Boswell.  I was there, and I heard the judge say, "Without evidence, we're not going to talk about this!"  That happened in the middle of my studies at the University of Georgia, and it cost me $500 in court fees, plus some lawyer fees.  

     Getting married was solely my means to try to become straight.  Honestly, I still wanted to meet, fall in love with, enjoy courtship, and marry a man.  My dreams of doing all that were more vivid than ever.
