That is so sad..made me cry.
But glad that in the end, he stopped suppressing his true self.
Many women would see this as a best case scenario..she gets an intelligence, sensitive gay man as a bff, and has a great father for her children, but she can also marry a straight husband and he can have a male lover, and everybody is happy.
They can share their families as much as they like.
I like the cases where a gay couple uses a friend for a sperm donor, or to carry a baby for them, and afterward they stay in each others' lives somewhat, all playing with the kids and helping each other out.
Or maybe that's just a straight person fantasy that gay movies and shows like to exploit.
