Forgivingwife - Please get full STD testing completed ASAP.

Men that tend to do this, tend to do more than he has admitted to. He also has been hiding this from you, so you know he is capable of lying.

Do NOT have unprotected sex w/ him until he is fully tested as well.

The comedian Eddy Izzard is a cross-dresser but purely heterosexual. Calls himself a lesbian. So, cross-dressing does not automatically indicate the person is gay.

Giving other men blow-jobs… well… THAT is not something heterosexual men are into.

Maybe he takes the cross-dressing too far? Maybe he wants to be a woman and therefore he cross-dresses and further affirms that by offering BJ’s? But then maybe I shouldn’t play armchair-analyst.

I don’t think the cross-dressing per se is the issue. I think his sexuality and what he’s willing to be without is the issue. If he says he’s bisexual and wants to be married and you believe in a monogamous marriage then he’s willingly denying himself the right/ability to have sex with another man or woman.

At the same time – IF he’s gay or leaning more in that direction then it’s better to acknowledge that and accept.

Straight men who want monogamy are willing to deny themselves sex with al the beautiful, sexy women they come across. That may be less denial than a bisexual has to do, but it seems like a lot of self-denial to me. (Straight women who want monogamy are also willing to deny themselves sex with all the beautiful, sexy men they come across.) An emotionally healthy bisexual can be monogamous. (Of course, I have to believe that, given my W's choice of ap.)

The pain of being betrayed is awful. It's excruciating. It's almost unbearable. It brings immense anger, grief, fear, and shame with it. None of it is the BSes fault, but the BS has to deal with it.

It's normal to fear what life will be like if you stay with a man who cheated with men or a woman who cheated with women. You can't predict the future, and it's normal to fear the unknown. I bet you have fears about what your life will be like if you D, too, because it's unknown.

Now is a time to start processing the grief, fear, anger, and shame out of your body. A good IC can help. Your feelings are obstacles to deciding what you want. They're obstacles to seeing your WS(es) as they are - ready to change or distraught with regret, wanting to stay M without changing.

Forgiving, My heart goes out to your H. He was abused as a teenager, and he didn't deserve that. But he doesn't have a right to abuse you in turn.

My sense - from reading the pain that BSes express here - is that a same-gender A is about as painful as a straight A. Any A is awful. It's adds the sexuality question to the mix, but some gay M men cheat with women to prove to themselves they're not gay.

BSes need to decide what they really want (within the constraint of what's possible - you can't go back in time and prevent the A). If the BS wants R, the next step is to determine if the WS is a good enough candidate for R.

If you're both willing to do the work necessary to R, you can R. You can (re)build your M, and it can even be better than you ever imagined. I can attest to that. A number of SI members can attest to that.

R is not the only option. You can choose D with your head held high. As ChamomileTea wrote above, you don't owe your WS an opportunity to R. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life together, D can be great. If your WS is not a good candidate for R - that is, if you think your WS won't do the necessary work - D will be a lot better than R. A number of SI members have flourished after D.

Being betrayed is awful. It does destroy your life as you know it - but it also opens opportunities for you, some of which may be excellent.

Us women who are with men like this are just a band aid covering up who they really are and what they really want to be doing.

I’ve dealt with mine trying to hook up with men/women.

He was caught wearing my pantyhose/underwear/bras.

Cross dressing is a issue, I don’t understand how people don’t think it’s not.

I hope you buy the biggest tv you want!

OP, take him to a good homeopath and explain everything.

He probably will give your husband Platinum (200 or over) to overcome this feeling of "needing to be dominated" that came with the abuse he suffered.

He will stop it.

It sound surread, but i was mentally delayed as a kid and was treated like this back then.

Im a normal 31 year old.

I hope im not crossing any forum rules, sorry.
