Married a gay man
The Gay Male in the Direct Marriage
Rob rushed into his first session with me, gym bag on one shoulder, briefcase on the other, 10 minutes late and out of breath. He set his bags down, gently put his Blackberry on the table in front of him, and heaved himself onto the couch. He sighed and began: “Okay, I’m gay, I’m married, I possess three kids, and I’m not getting divorced.” He’d common some of this information with me in our handset conversation, but I was still struck by the meaning of hopelessness in his tone. As he paused, awaiting my response, quite honestly, I was awaiting my response as well. I knew this was not Rob’s first experience in therapy and that a lot was riding on what I was about to say.
Rob had been referred by a former client of mine he’d met in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Just out of alcohol rehabilitation treatment, he’d begun attending AA meetings, where he’d shared parts of his story. He described a distant struggle with his sexual orientation, growing up in a devoutly Roman Catholic family, where he learned that his sexual attraction to men was produce for eternal dam
I'm a gay man... but I married my girlfriend after seven years together
On paper it was the perfect meet cute - boy meets girl, boy instantly falls for girl, boy and girl start spending all their time together.
The only problem is, boy identifies as gay.
Despite this, Jacob Hoff knew from the moment he laid eyes on Samantha Greenstone she was someone unique - he just didn't perceive those feelings would take him all the way to marriage.
The couple, who are both actors, met during an audition for Fiddler on the Roof in 2015, and have been inseparable ever since.
'From the lobby, I heard Samantha's cackle at the end of the song and instantly thought whoever just made that sound is an immaculate human,' Holf, 31, recalled to the New York Times in a feature about their love story.
After they were both cast in the show, they became closer when rehearsals started and 'never stopped hanging out pretty much every single day after.'
However, Greenstone, 37, noted she was 'living in utter confusion' after realizing her feelings for Hoff were for more than friendship and felt a powerful 'magnetism' towards him.
She even went to an energy healer for advice, who claimed the pair 'share

Dear Prudence,
I met my husband 13 years ago, and we’ve been together ever since. We fell deeply, madly in love with each other and have been married for nine marvelous years now. He’s patient, kind, gentle-hearted. He’s also always been honest about being gay and has never disguised it from me. Only one of our mutual friends knows this about my husband. Our son also knows, since we reflection it would be best to last open with him about it, so he never “found out” by surprise or from our mutual friend. Our son took the news very good and doesn’t concern that his father was gay.
I’ve never told my family, or really any of my friends, as I ponder they’d all be judgmental. My siblings don’t like my husband, but that’s a different letter in itself. So I’ve always kept it bottled up inside. He’s been married before, and div
