New Facebook Support Group

By Mister Curie


My wife and I have been somewhat frustrated in trying to find a support group for mixed-orientation marriages that seem relevant to our situation (young married couple with young children), so we are starting a facebook group for Mixed Orientation Families. The group is for individuals/couples currently or previously in marriages where one or both spouses are gay or bisexual. We will discuss issues related to navigating parenthood, marriage, and/or divorce while accepting your non-heterosexual identity.

You do not have to be currently married or intending to stay married to join this group. Individuals who have gone through divorce or separation can offer a lot of insight into navigating family-related pitfalls for gay or bisexual parents, spouses, or ex-spouses.

The goal is to have an accepting place to discuss issues related to topics specific to this subpopulation and to help us feel not so alone. Any life path forward that is mindfully chosen will be honored in the group: monogamy, non-monogamy in its various forms, divorce, etc.

If you would be interested in joining this group, please let me know and I will add you. It is a secret facebook group so it will not show up on others' news feeds and you cannot access it by searching for it.

Out Update

by Mister Curie

***Out Update: My brother (not TBM) who is aware of this blog contacted me last night on Facebook. It was great to come out to him as me and not as Mister Curie. He says that his wife knew I was gay too. WTF?!?! What is it with these gaydars? We had a nice discussion and it was a really positive experience. It definately increases the liklihood that I will come out to more people. I really appreciated him letting me know that he had read the posts - it made it so much less awkward knowing that he already knew from the blog.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled programing . . .***
