Seriously, I just read a story on AITA (so you never know if it's fact or fiction) where a dad came out as gay after many years of marriage and 5 children and wished for a divorce (post was written by the 16 y/o son) and even that gay dad would have been like LOL WTF? If his wife suddenly said "Surpriiise! I've been trans this whole time! Time for me to transition IRL so we can be gay husbands together!" He'd just be like "Honey... I'm gay, but not for you." Even legit gay men hiding in straight marriages wouldn't be down for this. IDK... Am I wrong?

I think (most) men of any orientation would be able to say they're not interested. Women tend to either turn full emotional support object for their partner or come up with an "acceptable" reason to leave, like saying they're "not lesbians."

There was a show, Lost in Transition I think, where you watch these women struggle with these obviously miserable relationships. Sad but common it seems.
