...if your long-time partner came out and admitted they were gay?

Would you feel betrayal?

Would you accept to save the relationship?

Would you be understanding, but want to move on and find someone new?

If my long term partner was a guy, it wouldn't be any surprise

Unless you are actually in this situation it would be hard to give an honest opinion surely.

As for Philip Schofield I think it has been obvious for quite a while and most are asking why it took him so long..confused

Agreed. I've known of two similar situations in the past. I think it would be exceedingly difficult not to feel betrayed. Unconscionable.

People often aren't aware.

For some people it is a slow process, often involving the subconscious. That, plus the inevitable fear and self-loathing, and the fear of being seen as different in any way.

I know people who I'm pretty sure are gay, but if given a lie detector test they would pass it as the idea has simply never crossed their minds.

Philip Schofield has two lovely daughters, what about the impact on them for him to suddenly come out.
He should have been honest with all from the start, and not drop this bombshell know just because he wants to feel better.

Don’t know. If I married someone as blatantly gay as that, as him, I’d probably be a lot more understanding.

I wouldn't try to save the relationship because there isn't a relationship if his heart is somewhere else.

I don't think it's betrayal but it was a lie and that's where the problem is for me.

I would hope he finds what he wants without lying to someone else.

Time to move on.

May be they're glad he didn't come out before they were born or else they wouldn't be born. And may be they love having him as a dad!
dunno

I don't follow the details of so-called celebrities and their private lives so the only surprise for me was not that he was gay, but that people ever thought he wasn't.

Apparently a lot of men who are closet gays desperately want to have 'regular' lives, so they do the things that society expects of them. Getting married, having kids etc. It seems some of them cannot handle living a lie forever, so they come out. Thinking about it, it must be an awful way to live....like, you've got this secret that you have to hide from the world.

I agree. I have to say that the man/woman I spoke of, was very torn. He wanted to be the man she married and loved as he struggled to keep her happy while he put his feelings and needs to the side. He felt so guilty when he finally couldn't play the role any longer and confessed. I have to say that I admire the way they were able to still love one another and how dedicated they were to each other and the child. It was a happy ending to me.

Complete acceptance and adoration.

I subscribe on YouTube to several Travel Vlogers. One of them is a couple named Josh and Ashley Brown that call themselves The Way Away. Here is their last travel vlog. Not long after this video was made, Josh dropped a bomb to his wife that he decided that he was trans gender and changed his name to Alexis Rae. I think they are divorced or heading that way now. They never showed this was happening on YouTube but Ashley showed up on their Instagram site which she changed to her full name crying and saying they had split up but did not say why but reading the comments from some of other subscribers that know them, they told the story. Josh who owns the YouTube Channel has not commented yet but is still receiving money from the YouTube Patreon account. Ashley was last saying she was going to get a job as an airplane stewardess and vlog travels from doing that. It is sad since they met through a church youth group. crying

if my partner came out and admitted she was gay I would support her in her decision- I want the best for her. I want her to be happy.

Would you feel betrayal?

Depends on "how" and when. same as any relationship (lying/cheating etc).

Would you accept to save the relationship? -

No, that relationship is gone; a new one might develop or not

Would you be understanding, but want to move on and find someone new?

New life; new "someone new". life goes on.


people change and have the right to find what makes them happy in life, even in different lifestyle with different people .living a lie in a relationship/life is not productive to anyone.


Nothing to say about Schofield - his choice; his life, and same show goes on for a few more episodes

Friskyone: Yeah, and no one needs to feel he/she, can't be the real person they are. I couldn't imagine having to act like an imposter. They need to free their own selves and handle it without making matters much worst. No one is perfect.
thumbs up

You need to be comfortable in your own skin. My sister's husband wanted her to dress in skimpy clothes. She liked to wear a shirt with a peter pan color and she was always buttoned up to her neck. She was tight with the money he liked to spend it. Opposites do not always attract.

I would agree to that. We must all be free and true to ourselves.
