Summary

UNFILTERED: I’m joined by a man who tells the story of how his 14-year marriage ended because his wife realized she was a lesbian. We hear how he reacted to the news, and how he and his ex-wife created a wonderful co-parenting situation filled with gratitude, empathy, and flexibility. He opens up about falling in love, with a woman we refer to as “A,” soon after he dipped his toe back in the dating pool. He shares how this relationship was the best six months of his life, while also being filled with anxiety, guilt, and pain because she wasn’t okay with him remaining friends with his ex-wife.
