A 30-YEAR-OLD woman has given her cheating husband an ultimatum after being asked to keep a secret. She confessed to being blindsided by his infidelity as their two-year marriage seemed to be going great. The woman said she and her husband, 31, have been together for almost six years.
They share a close group of friends and his best mate was the best man at their wedding. She was shocked when she found out the pair had been secretly having an affair. “I confronted him, and after a lot of tears and honesty, he admitted that he's gay and has been struggling with it for years,” she said, writing on Reddit .
“I could tell it was painful for him to say, and I genuinely felt for him. “He told me he really does care about me and wanted to ‘make it work’ because he loved me in his own way.” The woman said she felt broken to uncover the lie and asked her husband for a divorce.
She didn’t feel like it was her place to tell anyone about his sexuality but has been left to “carry this secret” when people ask why they’re separating. “I gave him an ultimatum: he needs to come out and be honest with everyone,” she said. “It’s not about shaming him or anything, but I feel like if he’s brave enough to start fresh, he should own who he is.
“The thing is, he says he's not ready. He thinks I'm pushing him too fast, and he’s scared of how people will react. “I get it, but I also feel like I’m carrying the weight of this secret on top of my own heartbreak.
