Quote:

"Months before our wedding, when my fiancé had said, 'I talked to my therapist, and she thinks we should discuss your sexual orientation,' I had responded brusquely: 'Why? I’m in love with you. End of conversation.

"After the first of the new year, I came out to my husband. I turned over in bed to face him, and the sobs burst out of me and pooled between us. My chest heaved, my face was wet and contorted, but I forced the words out, finally, despite the pain. He sat up in bed, brought his hands to his face, and wailed.
