How I Made My Husband Gay: Myths About Straight Wives [Paperback]

Bonnie Kaye (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 24, 2007

How I Made My Husband Gay is a self-help book for women who learn or suspect that they may be married to a gay/bisexual man. Compiled, edited, and contributed to by Bonnie Kaye, M. Ed., the international expert in the field of straight/gay marriages, this book helps women by revealing the signs and patterns in their marriages that could be "Red Flags." There are 35 stories from members of Kaye's international support group who talk about those signs they initially missed, as well as how they were blamed by their gay husbands for the failures in the marriages. Kaye also has her women discuss ways that they "caught" their husbands, as well as how they started over after ending the marriage which she refers to as a "mis-marriage" or a mistake of a marriage.

About the Author:
Kaye has counseled more than 30,000 straight women and 2,000 gay men since 1984 after the demise of her own marriage to a gay man. She hits home the message that gay men have no "choice" in their homosexuality - but they do have a "choice" in being honest about it. She works with women to help them rebuild their lives after the end of their marriages, and strongly advocates divorce in an amicable way whenever possible.

Kaye consults for the major news media, and her website at www.Gayhusbands.com is used as a resource for shows including Oprah, Montel, and Tyra Banks. She has appeared on numerous national news shows including CNN and FOX News with her message that homosexuality does not belong in a marriage to a straight partner. Kaye is also a strong advocate for gay rights and publicly speaks about the need for society to accept gay people for who they are instead of fighting to change them into who they are not.

This is Kaye's fourth book on this topic. Her other books include Is He Straight? A Checklist for Women Who Wonder, Doomed Grooms: Gay Husbands of Straight Wives, and Straight Wives: Shattered Lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any questioning wife, February 8, 2008

If you've ever had the odd thought about your husband's sexuality pop up in the back of your mind, if you've ever caught him looking at gay porn, if you've gone long periods in your relationship without him initiating physical intimacy then buy this book. The stories of the 35 or so women who finally discovered their husband's true sexual orientation are compelling and sad, definitely NOT Jerry Springer stuff. A common thread runs through them all: Each thought there was something wrong with them, not with the man to whom they were married.

This review is from: How I Made My Husband Gay: Myths About Straight Wives (Paperback)

The stories of 35 women, all of them different, yet all share the same underlying experience. I could not put the book down. Read about these womens' lives and how they missed the 'red flags' of their husbands' secret lives. Read as they share with you what they learned in their hope of teaching others how to avoid such a "relationship".

EXCELLENT Book! Just like ALL of Bonnie Kaye's Books! I've read them all and this one was WONDERFUL! It is straight-forward, honest, sincere and eye-opening! You'll read it COVER to COVER in one sitting - not being able to put it down. If the Title isn't enough of an attention grabber - just wait till you read what's inside!
