Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um,

But then, you know, three weeks ago she comes out and says, hey, I'm gay.

And so for me, instantly I'm thinking, okay, well, we don't have kids yet.

We are in a position where we could separate fairly quickly and easily.

What was the context of the coming out?

Well, I didn't have a lot.

She has been kind of on a journey.

Her mental health has had a lot of ups and downs.

And she over the last, you know, we've been married for just over three years now.

And I, with me is kind of the first time she's had the emotional safety to do her own exploring of her, of her own identity and inner self.

Um, and so she's been working through that, uh, a lot of it with me, but you know, this part in particular, more so on her own with her therapist.

Um, and so she, um,

has been embracing more of her queer identity.

And that was what prompted her like, Hey, you know, I don't want to hide this from you anymore, Josh.

I want to share this with you that this is, I'm, I'm embracing more of this side of my identity.

And apparently that's what she had intended to say.

And when it came out with the words, I'm gay, my immediate conclusion was, okay, you're a lesbian.
