Hello Angela, and thank you for your response. It really all depends on your next steps — whether you plan on leaving the coop and finding another partner or whether you keep moving on as status quo.
He needs to know that he has support from you and from your friends, and that they understand that this transition is as tough for him as it is you. Just being heard is huge, and if he knows that you will always be a big part of his life, even if it’s just friends, I’m sure it will help.
Regardless, it’s going to be very painful for him, and I’m sure you’ve already seen this play out. I would refer you to the Straight Spouse Network, and get in touch with one of their professionals for advice before directing him there. I hope this was some help. Much love,
Dustin
