Today, someone very close to me came out of the closet. Normally I would fully support them, had we not just gotten married. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML
Today, after being supportive for nearly a year, my brother finally came out of the closet and introduced the family to his new boyfriend. His new boyfriend happens to be my ex-boyfriend. Guess I know why that didn't work out now. FML
Today, my husband, who I love more than anything, announced that he was gay, couldn't live a lie anymore, and moved out of the house. I'm utterly devastated, and when I tried to cry to my friends, they said I should celebrate his courage and stop being selfish, then ran off to party with him. FML
Today, my wife of 6 years came out as a lesbian. I moved out of state and away from family to start a new life with her. Turns out she's attracted to my mom. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, my sister came out of the closet. By which I mean she came out as the pregnant mother of my boyfriend's child. FML
Today, I came out of the closet. I came out on Facebook to spare myself awkward conversations and gossip. I wrote a deeply meaningful status about my partner and my pride in who I was. The only responses were, "Lol", "Hacked", and similar remarks. FML
Today, I came out as a lesbian to my friends. They were supportive, save for my one friend, who accused me of copying her by also being a lesbian. FML
Today, I went to my friend's house to give him some moral support as he came out of the closet to his family. I left with a black eye. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

God... people should not get married if they are questioning their sexuality.

That's horrible! Why would someone do that?! Wait until your officially together, THEN come out of the closet? What a heartless jerk. :(

Everyone seems to assume the OP is female but I don't see that we know that. In any case, it's a pretty awful thing to think you are embarking on a lifetime of love and companionship only to have that ripped away. I can only assume the other-half genuinely thought they could be happy with the right person of either gender. FYL - & I hope it's not too messy to sort out.

Was he gay before you got married?

... I'm baffled & speechless right now... It's not a light switch, you are or you aren't. They must have hidden it pretty good and then came out after.

I know a lady who's husband did that. Except he waited until they had two kids to tell her.

My uncle came out after 2 kids and 13 years of marriage. I'll never understand that because even his brothers thought he was growing up,so if they knew,how did he not?

Am I the only one who read this thinking that he came out of an actual closet rather than metaphorically? Yep... just me?

=( Sorry to hear about that. Good for them they are not living a lie and that it came out now instead of 20+ years down the road. I hope you can both move on and have good lives.
