Married but secretly gay
No one can quite prepare you for the encounter of dating within the queer collective. It’s something you need to navigate on your hold. As you pay time online and out in the real world, you learn how to sift through guys who end up meeting your specific requirements. It has become rhythmic almost for a lot of us lgbtq+ men to operate like sorting hats and put men in categories we’d love to take advantage of accordingly.
There’s The Fuckbuddy, who is waiting for you to contact or text and has a turn-around time of one hour or less. Then there’s The Traveller, who is into you but never in town when you are free. There’s also The Stringer, who you have nicely wrapped around your finger and you keep stringing along, with no intention of taking it anywhere. And then there’s The One You Really Need, a man who is perfectly in sync with you, is handsome and financially sorted. Ah wait, he’s also married.
Many same-sex attracted men I recognize, including myself, acquire gotten their hearts broken at the hands of men married to women, with many swearing off this category altogether after having their hopes dashed over and ov

Signs of a Male lover Husband – Is My Man Gay?
The clearest way to know if your husband is gay is if he tells you. If the husband is honest with both you and with himself (read: How Do I Understand If I Am Gay? Signs You Are Gay), that is when you can truly know that he is gay.

Dear How to Execute It,
Please help. I’m lovely sure my husband of more than 20 years is gay.
Some background: I have anxiety, and anxiety can come with paranoia at times. He’s been my only sexual partner, and we were married when I was in my early 20s. We are of similar ages, but he had been in other sexual relationships, which was satisfactory with me. I just hadn’t. Now, plus years and multiple kids later, half our marriage has been him not wanting to have much to undertake with physical stuff like kissing, cuddling, or sex—unless I accomplish on him, usually. I am lonely as hell. We doze in the same bed, but I feel like we are just roommates. He’s not super mean, and I’ve brought this conversation up so many times up over the last 15 or so years, but every time there’s another reason: He has bad breath; he’s tired; he just wants to be with his friends (I’m not invited). He says every moment I bring it
Since my essay, “My Husband Is Having an AffairWith a Man,” was published, I have received many, many comments. Although some of the comments were supportive, many of them were challenging, such as this one:
Sadly, most married, closeted gay men are manipulative, narcissistic con artists who only think about themselves with only occasional feelings of guilt and remorse. Their decision to leave or stay in their marriages is never out of consideration for the wife. [The comments—mostly from women—have been edited slightly]. Her comment made me angry and defensive.
I really am sorry for your pain. I comprehend that anything more I say risks suggesting that you’re not entitled to your pain. That is not my intent.
My father died in a farm accident when I was 3 years old, creating a cloud that cast a dark shadow over me for most of my early life. Three themes dominated my thoughts: 1. Being a guy was dangerous. 2. If I survived, I would be the best father any kid ever had. 3. My father’s death fractured my sense of manliness. These things nourished my denial of my same-sex attractions
