After 15 years of marriage my wife told me that she is gay. I was dumbfounded and lost and sad and angry. I have found and place where I can talk to people in similar situations. This organization has been a true lifesaver as I struggle to rebound from what I thought was forever

Quite simply, Straight Spouse Network saved my life. When my ex wife disclosed to me that she was a lesbian, I felt totally alone. Then I found this organization and was embraced by a community of people who GET it and were able to help me heal. The organization has an online forum, and many face to face groups for people who feel lost just as I did.
