The article addresses a woman's struggle with her sexual identity in a long-term marriage. After realizing she is a lesbian, she faces the dilemma of whether to maintain her relationship for the sake of her husband and kids or to be honest about her feelings. The advice suggests that living one's truth is important, even if it leads to initial discomfort for loved ones. While revealing her truth might cause pain, the long-term benefits of authenticity outweigh the temporary struggle, emphasizing that divorce, though hard, can lead to happiness.
Living your truth is not necessarily selfish. It isn't as selfless as the image of the perfect wife and mother casts, but that image is an impossible standard.
Being honest and coming out has many advantages… It can be painful. Your husband and children might be initially upset with you.
