I Took Both Roads: My Journey as a Bisexual Husband available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "There is an urgent need for more bisexual men to rise up and be heard. Thank you for contributing your voice to this still small but growing chorus." - Robyn Ochs, co-author, Recognize: the Voices of Bisexual Men Matteson's I Took Both Roads: My Journey as a Bisexual Husband is both eye-opening and inspiring. It is a timely, sensitive exploration of a topic through a loving and accepting lens. He first became aware of his sexuality in the early 1950s, and his bisexuality in the '60s — dangerous times to be seen as different from the norm. It is as much an account of his incredible and supportive relationships with others — his parents, his spiritual advisors, his long-time gay partner, and particularly his wife — as it is an account of what it is like to be bisexual. Matteson skillfully brings the reader on a journey through his life. He introduces the memoir by acknowledging his hope that reading [his] story will help you to develop a deeper understanding of, and empathy for those whose sexual orientation is different from your own, and those who have gone through changes in their identity during the course of their married life. Robert Frost's famous poem about life's choices, "The Road Not Taken," is a recurrent motif in Matteson's book, and readers will come to understand that they, unlike Frost's speaker, need not recall their choices "with a sigh" of regret, but can instead proudly take both roads, though they seem to be divergent.

This book was released on 2012-06-01. Unseen-Unheard available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What would you do if your husband told you he’d fallen in love with another man or thinks he might be gay or bisexual? What would you do if you discovered your wife's texts, photos or emails indicating she has a female lover or wonders if she might be lesbian or bisexual? Well, this happens, a shattering reality that at least two million men and women among us have faced and tried to understand and accept even as we were unseen and our voices unheard. What? Who are we? We are husbands and wives left behind when our spouses came out or after we discovered they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. Shocked and paralyzed and then swirling in the devastating wake of this unexpected revelation about our beloveds, we had to pick up the unrecognizable pieces of our former lives and try to reconfigure them without much outside support, recognition, or understanding of the depth of the crisis. Yes, straight spouses typically cope alone with unique issues of sexuality,betrayal, and a broken belief system. Slowly, slowly, we redefine ourselves, build new lives, affirm the joy of living, and reap life’s infinite possibilities. We invite you to walk with us and experience our journey from the first desperate cries of discovery or disclosure to the insights and wisdom gained as we resolve our issues and transform our lives. As you observe and listen, we hope you will embrace the courage, creativity, and resilience of our inner strength, which we didn't know we had, yet was so powerful that lifelong habits were broken and we became uniquely and marvelously who we were meant to be.

The masterful author of Class Reunion offers this ambitious story of choices, chances and fate, spanning four generations of an unforgettable American family. Rose Smith is born in the very beginning of 1900, the year that ushered in the most rapidly changing century in history. At the age of ten, Rose loses her mother and must learn to become independent and adaptable. As she grows up and begins a family of her own, she and her three daughters are a vital part of the country’s rapid growth during a turbulent era. These women—all different, all fiercely-willed—will make courageous, sometimes reckless choices in their lives as they move boldly through a new world. Yet they will be united by an inner strength that will withstand life’s most chaotic demands, helping each to accept tragedy, embrace joy and, ultimately, find redemption.

Download and read online ebook Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men write by Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli. This book was released on 2016-03-08. Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Framed by a comprehensive review of international research, literature, and film, this book is an intimate journey into the experiences and insights of 79 Australian women in relationships with bisexual men. It takes us into the daily lives, sexual intimacies, and families of MOREs (mixed-orientation relationships) that span the gamut from extremely oppressive experiences with bi-misogynist men to extremely liberating with bi-profeminist men. Aged 19 to 65, the women are in monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationships with bisexual-identifying and/or bisexual-behaving men. The women themselves are bisexual, lesbian, heterosexual, while others refuse to categorize their own sexualities. The book addresses the discovery or disclosure of the man's bisexuality, how the relationships work and where they flounder, how the partners negotiate and establish 'new rules' and boundaries to maintain their relationship, and the impact of class, rural/urban setting, ethnicity, indigeneity, race, religion, and education on these relationships. But this book isn’t only about MOREs. The research, revelations and reflections in this book tell us much about current and shifting global constructions and understandings of intimate relationships, sexual desires and love, and the socio-cultural representations and labeling of genders and sexualities.
