This particular situation happened to a good friend of mine. Him and his wife had 2 small kids. From what he told me, she just came out one day and told him that she felt she would be better off with a woman, that she realized this now.

I asked him if there was some sort of indication and he said no.

He was genuinely shocked, but didn't seem mad at her... from what I could see anyway.

They divorced... not a messy divorce.. He got the kids..(by mutual agreement) and remarried. she got her lifestyle. and they share custody.

All are doing well

If I remember rightly it was first used by Shakespeare, in Hamlet, I think, but don't quote me on it, and yes, touchy could be another word for it, I prefer biatchy, it's my Scouse, take no **** from anyone attitude that's to blame.

Yes.. it is funny in a way..
.. how are lover choose a same sex lover.. we get very defensive and.
feel betrayed..

.. but if they choose a different lifestyle..
.. even one of going into priesthood are into the nunnery for instance..
.. we can justify this..
.. rationalize it make sense of it..

..hmm.

To be touchy touchy or not to be touchy touchy. That is the question...

But to address the OP's topic, it can be threatening in the sense that we question our own prowess or desirability and take the switch personally.

idk.
depends on what the new partner looks like.

a part of me would doubt myself.

She believed she could, so she did
I don't think there's much chance of the OP batting the other way, he'd be too busy with some of the women throwing themselves at him on here, funny to watch though.

Hmm... If my significant other breaks up with me to be with a guy... It would answer a lot of questions...

Women throwing themselves? It works both ways, actually. He does a lot of pitching. :-)

. you'd be amazed at how often..
. I get messages asking me to switch teams..lol..... very tempting I must say..mmmm

Ok, hazel eyes and your fine self.

I suppose at the end of the day..
.. I would feel better if my lover left me for.. same sex...
... I would know at least they're not leaving me... because of me.. but rather something I have no chance at giving them....

Noooo..! Not Milo...

See what happens when we give women free rein... it comes back to bite us. Back in the good old days they'd be locked up for pulling a stunt like that.

I would be particularly chuffed, esp not if he'd been feeling that way for some time and we'd still had sex during that period.
I might get a tad upset about that. And he best leave after telling me.
Indeed easier if he'd go into priesthood. I could live with that.

I've been contemplating this topic since I first read thru it.
If my significant other told me before taking action upon being with another woman. I could except it. If she told me after, I would not accept it very well at all. No matter what, the relationship is dead either way!

I think no matter what I'd still be questioning. What did I or didn't I do, that caused the change? Even if she had explained it had nothing to do with me.



Edit was an I, I forgot...
