How can you tell your loved ones that you are not straight?

The best thing for him is to be true to himself and to his loved ones. End of story. Unless he prefers to live is whole life in a lie

i think he should make sure first that he is gay before he says anything to anyone. maybe go to a therapist or a gay and lesbian center to talk to someone about the issue. then if he is sure he is gay, maybe invite his lover to meet his wife and family and gradually tell them that he is not happily married and he prefers to be with this man. and he wants a divorce, but share child custody.

Well the best thing is still be true to himself. He will have to tell his wife and kids (if they are able to understand already) sooner or later and sooner is always better. Of course, he will also have to be ready to face any reaction he may get from the wife. It could be two things, the wife and kids can accept him for who he is or, they will take it hard and turn their back on him. i hope things will work out for him and that he will have peace of mind.

Hi rumandawi7, I have just typed a long response and then wnt to post respond and the whole page went blank, I am so annoyed, I have to start all over again. I was saying that he will have to talk to his wife first but is he sure that feels like that? if he is sure he will have to tell his wife and hen tell his parents. but first you will have to talk him be there for him always and even be with him when he tell her, he might need your support, he will need a friend so good luck. and take care.

Hi rumandawi7, Have a long talk with him ask him when did he felt this and then tell him he must talk to his wife other wise it will eat him up with guilt, he has to come put in the open and also to tell his parents, it is very delicate subject I know but will have to talk, so please help him as much as you can, evne be there when he tells hi wife, but firstly is he sure that is what he is feeling? so make time for your friend, he needs you right now. Good luck. Tamara
