Nigerian Husband opens up to his wife- – “I am gay but I still love you”

Twitter user Ada Campbell posted this question from her friend. Her husband has just come out as gay and tells her that he still loves her. Should she stay or annul the marriage and leave. See replies below… What do you think?

Different twitter users have different thoughts on the matter…

  • Does he intend to actively date men/ open their marriage up? Does she herself want an open marriage? How does she feel about his sexuality? Whatever they both want now, they re-examine in a year and see if they still feel the same way – all decisions are conditional till then.
  •  Hmmm. This is quite dicey. But the bulk of the decision lies with her considering the fact that he’s now fully accepted who he is and still feels love for her. There’s no need to shame the man because studies have shown a surge in people with crisis of conscience with regards.
  • ….to their sexuality. She can decide to stay and help him navigate the murky waters. It’s not going to come without its challenges so they’ll have to speak with a professional counselor and all. Or she can decide to put herself and her needs first and annul the marriage.

    . Is he telling her because he now wants to start seeing other men, or is he telling her because he wants to get it off his chest? If he wants to start exploring his new found attraction, will she be okay with that? If she’s not, then she knows what to do.
