I'm a gay man who married his best friend and started a family. Now I'm divorced and still trying to come to terms with who I am and what I want in life.
This morning K had to leave early for an appointment. I walked outside with her. The weather was perfect, sunny, with just a little coolness in the air. One the way out to her car I noticed the flowers in front of my house. (pictured above) She remarked how pretty they looked. I reminded her that it was T who helped us pick the out and plant them 3 years ago. "Remember when my boyfriend helped us put these in?" I asked her.
Three years ago we were all in a much different place. Now, I am able to openly talk about my boyfriend with my best friend.
I am gay man in his 40's who was married for 18 years to a straight woman, who is still my very best friend. We have 4 children together. She is now remarried and we still want to be supportive of each other and make a stable family for our kids.
