You are so right on … when my wife and I decided to end our marriage, we didn’t have enough money saved to start two separate households. We also worked together as “houseparents” in a group home for children with disabilities. We decided to stay together and pretend that we were still a loving couple for twelve months—long enough to save the money that we needed, and to find other work. It wasn’t pleasant, but neither was it terribly difficult. I had come to the realization that I was gay, so neither of us felt “wronged” or had a desire for revenge. My wife, always the pragmatist, helped me conceal my sexual identity from my family until I was ready to come out … and for that I will always be grateful. Thanks for addressing a topic that doesn’t get a lot of light!
