Review for Straight Spouse Network Inc, Chicago, IL, USA
A friend found the Straight Spouse Network for me when I first learned that my (then) husband of 26 years was (maybe) gay. I'm not sure I could have survived without the support and friendships I have developed over these last 9 years. These are people who have been there and understand the confusion that I was feeling - because they have felt it too. They understood as I was realizing that it hadn't been me as he'd told me for so long. They listened to/read my lengthy stories and offered support and wisdom and guidance. As time went on and I learned he truly was gay, they held my hand through additional grief at the realization that much of my life had been based on a lie. They helped me see there was a tomorrow - and I could survive this.
