but surely there should be equal empathy for both, it's not a competition? that said he is the one who has changed the status of their relationship so why shouldn't people feel empathy for her?

An ignorant comment like this can be extremely damaging, Arista. Well done.



Everyone is different, and feel comfortable to 'come out' at different points in their life. There is no time limit.

I think we should be commending his brave decision and not spinning a negative on it by criticising his timing.

Phil and his wife should stick together, if not for themselves, but for the children

like i mentioned about that Martien Meiland in earlier post, he and his wife also live together for the children, they just sleep separately

Aye, empathy is all well and good, but people saying she’s a victim, or she’s been manipulated and she’s the only one that deserves any form of sympathy, all of which I’ve seen in the past hour or so, not just on here, to me, just screams ‘straight rights!!’

I always find it gross when there’s a story about a gay person, most of the time it always end up coming back around to ‘aww, but what about straight people?’

But it isn't about "straight rights " it's about the right to an honest relationship. It's nothing to do with her sexual preference.

I don't know if I'm included in that comment but I'm simply looking at it from the wife's perspective :shrug: Or are straight people not supposed to have feelings?

*If she did know about it then that's a different story obviously
