An Open Letter to my Future Gay Husband

My Love,

 

    All these years we’ve been through, I have loved everything about you. We’ve had each other in our best and worst. I wouldn’t have married you in the first place if I had any reservations. Marriage was the next big adventure, and I wouldn’t take it with anyone else but with you. I gladly and courageously face the uncertainties of this path with your hand intertwined to mine.

    

    And along the way to forever, we discover more of ourselves and each other. Things that we might not think was possible in our age, like finding oneself their real gender identity. If ever you discover your truest self during our marriage, please, never be afraid to show it to me, your wife.

    

    Don’t be afraid that I might not accept you, because I will. Nothing will have changed, because my love for you is the safest place where you can express your true colors. Let me remind you again the vows we made in the altar that I love you, and I will always do. For richer or for poor, through sickness and in health, for whatever you are and what you will become, I will love you, and only you. If ever, that after your discovery, you still find yourself in love with me, our relationship will only grow stronger. I still love you, the old, the new and everything in between. If we already have kids by then, I’m sure they will understand and support you. You will never ever pretend or hide away.

 

    But if ever in this discovery, you found that you have fallen out of love for me, that you no longer find our intimate moments right to you, its okay. All I ask is that you be honest with me

    

    Tell me everything in all honesty. Look into my eyes, and tell me you no longer love me because you are attracted to different people that I cannot simply pretend to be, that you have found someone who has given you happiness that I cannot simply provide. Tell it to me straight and tell it to me now, because its okay. There will be no anger. Just sadness. And even if it kills me, the greatest love I can give you is setting you free

    Letting you go will not be easy. For as long as I can remember, I could never imagine life without you. But when this happens, I really have to. If cutting the chains means giving you the freedom of finding yourself and be truly in love with someone that brings out the truest of you, I shall do it without hesitation. But nonetheless, I intend to keep my promise to God to love you forever, even if you no longer are in my arms until forever ends.

 

    When you finally leave, I will ask you to hug me one last time. Knowing it will be the last, my face will be filled with tears. It is merely the sorrow of parting with the person you love. I ask you not to be guilty. I will be okay.

 But whatever happens, you will always have my love and full support.

You will always have me.

 

Best wishes to the new found you.

 

Sincerely,

Your wife
