In the immortal words of Jean Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, gopher'.

So I just found out a couple days ago that my cousin's husband is leaving her and their 5-year-old son after 15 years of marriage because he is bisexual, wants to have sex with men outside of the marriage, and that is a deal-breaker for her. I don't know if I can ever understand decisions like this.
I'm a heterosexual guy who, sure, has openly joked about my "hall pass list" with my wife, so it's not exactly a secret that I've at least thought about sex with other people. But it is comically easy for me to put those thoughts aside and choose to be faithful to my wife and children. I actively choose not to have sex with other women (ok, let's be honest - I choose not to pursue it. The choice not to have it would probably be *theirs*!). Is it somehow different, harder, for a bisexual person to choose not to have sex with other women and men? Is eschewing homosexual sex some sort of existential crisis for a bisexual person? Or is this actually the hedonistic, selfish decision that it appears to be to me?If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

He's checked out of the marriage. Now, finding yourself suddenly as having a totally different sexual identity may do that, I can't judge. And we're long past the days of saying a marriage is irrevocable and you can never repent of it. It sucks but it certainly happens.
I'm not gonna throw stones here since I don't know the people, but I sympathize with everybody involved. It must be jarring and emotionally terrible for all of them. It sounds like each of the parents has agency and is exercising it, so, yay... I guess? We can all think of much worse outcomes (he stays and cheats, he bullies her into accepting it, she bullies him into suppressing it, they stay together in a loveless marriage "for the child," etc).

With the FSM as my witness, I do not understand how anyone could contemplate a transgender 14-year-old and have any other response than the deepest empathy, compassion, kindness, and love. 14 sucked for most *CIS* kids - I cannot fathom trying to navigate the sewers of adolescence with that burden around your neck.
Ah, but their Sky Master (whose greatest commandment was, "love everyone") apparently told them to hate certain people, so it's all good.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

Authoritarians are worshipping their own fear and anger. It's been that was since 10,000 BC. The label they put on it is meaningless.
