How to deal with guilt after cheating on your boyfriend while he was in prison

Dear Abby,

My boyfriend and I have been involved for five years. I have had numerous relations while he has been away, all the while letting him think I’m this perfect stay-at-home fiancee and mother. He is now demanding to know why I have been unfaithful and I don’t know what to say.

The truth is, I am gay. I couldn’t live as an open gay man if I stayed in New Zealand. The church was also known as 'Two By Twos’ and in Australia and New Zealand, the United Christian Convention, or 'Cooneyties’.

Quick Summary

In conclusion, life outside of the cult has been good for this man and he is hopeful for the future of LGBT+ people.
