I am a gay husband

I am a gay married man who is at the crossroads of his life. After 14 years of living with a woman who is loving, kind, and understanding, I have decided to make the most difficult decision in my life to date--namely, be honest with her. After reading the book "Straight Wives, Shattered Lives," by Bonnie Kaye, I realize that the longer I withhold this truth from her, the more damage I am doing to her life. When I read some of the stories of these women in the book, I was faced with the reality of what I am doing to my own wife. I have fought these feelings of male attractions for many years. I wanted to be the husband my wife needs. I never meant to hurt her. I take my marriage vows very seriously. I married her because I was in love with her, and I still love her so much. But now I realize that I can never love her in the way she deserves to be loved--totally and completely. I know this because I have read the book "Forbidden Love With a Married Man: Email Diaries" by Dennis Schleicher. In his story, I saw the kind of relationship that I too desire with someone of the same sex. Between these two books, I realized I had to be honest with myself before I could be honest with my wife. I know my life will never be the same after I reveal this news, but I don't want to keep hiding behind a lie. Wish me luck.

Poignant, Moving, Truthful...

This memoir was an amazing look into the story of the author and his gay and married boyfriend. Mind you, he's married to a woman... It follows their romance from a chance meeting, to a planned get together, and follows them through their dates, phone calls, emails, and intimate moments. The book lets you glance in on a world that is usually kept secret, and never talked about. Well here is the chance for readers who may have some questions, or may be coping with the same situation. It is an amazing read and I cannot say that enough! Great job Dennis!

Forbidden?! Let's get over ourselves!

This is a hit!! I ripped through it. Schleicher is very brave! He bared his soul. And his intimate details. Wow!! I'm I a singer. I've been in the entertainment business for a thousand years. I have many gay acquaintances but no really close friends. The book did for me what going to Temple for the first time did. (my husband is Jewish) I had fantasies about how different it would be from Church. Once I got there I realized that - other than Hebrew instead of Latin and different hymns-melodically speaking - Its all the same. Forbidden Love showed me that love and relationships between couples, no matter how common or unconventional the circumstances, is still about passion, self doubt, warmth, butterfly stomachs, hurt and healing. We are human beings after all is said and done. The emails made it so personal and real. It never had that Hollywood movie sensationalism. The ending felt abrupt. Left me waiting for the sequel. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The truth about the "Other Man."

Since 1984, I have counseled over 30,000 women who discover they have unknowingly married gay men. Although this may seem like an isolated situation, it affects over 4 million women in the United States. One of the most difficult tasks is convincing these wives that their husbands are capable of having a secret life outside the realm of the marriage. Schleicher's book is an eye opener for those women who think that it can't happen in their marriage. This daily diary gives an inside view of how their husbands can live a double life without having any sense of remorse. Schleicher, a hopeless romantic, meets his supposed "soulmate" through a fluke chance on a gay dating Internet website. He soon realizes that he is in the middle of the triangular moral dilemma of falling in love with a married man whose wife of 14 years is clueless. It was never Schleicher's intention to hurt his lover's wife, but rather to help his soulmate come to terms with his hidden homosexuality in hopes of transforming his destiny to being half of a loving and caring gay couple. Although Schleicher is convinced throughout the story that the couple will live happily ever after, you must draw your own conclusions or wait for his sequel. While this book is a love story for Schleicher, it's questionable whether his boyfriend really has any intention of doing the "right thing," as he promises, or if Schleicher is just another pawn in the game of a man living a double life, hurting both his lover and wife? I strongly recommend this book to any woman who is suspicious about the possibility of her husband's possible secret. It serves as a startling reality check for those who may be unable to believe the worst of truths.

THIS WAS MY LIFE!!!

I can't believe reading this book how touching and heartbreaking this love story is. At the same time, it opened my eyes to how this situation is much more prevelent in our society than many married men want to admit and women don't want to know about. I was glued to my seat as I sped through this page turner. This book had me non stop page turning for an entire Saturday. You must buy it. Schleicher is a genius and his voice is genuine. I look forward to volume 2 or Hollywood. Please write another! -Kelly, Psych RN
