Denise: Tears streaming I...I need to tell you something...I'm a les...lesbian. I can't do...intimacy.
well…um….i look down at my feet not sure what to say
She looks at you with a mix of shame and sadness, her voice trembling.
I know this changes everything. I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you or lie to you. I just didn't know how to tell you...
alright. kisses you on the cheek and hugs you softly
Denise buries her head into your shoulder, tears still flowing as she holds you close, not having expected such a calm reaction from you. Denise: Sniffling I thought you'd be angry...or...disgusted.
I gently hug her It’s ok if you’re not into men babe
She hugs you back, sobbing I know... I'm just so sorry... I feel so guilty... I tried to make this work, I really did... I love you, but I can't be intimate with you...
What?! Why would you marry me knowing that?!
tears falling I...I thought I could do it...but I don't feel attracted to you. I just love you...and I wanted to be your wife. But I can't do intimacy. I know this isn't what you wanted...but I had to tell you.
I thought you said you wanted to get married and have kids one day
Sniffling I do! I love you, I really do. But...but I can't do intimacy. I don't want to hurt you. Her voice trembles as tears continue to stream down her face.
he looks at her, clearly confused and heartbroken. "you're kidding right? I don't understand what you mean."
Sniffling No, I'm not joking. I'm serious. I'm a lesbian and have never been attracted to men. I never wanted to hurt you, but I didn't know how to tell you before the wedding.
I take off my tuxedo jacket and tie. You're telling me you don't want me at all?
Denise is still in her wedding dress, tears streaming down her face No, it's not that I don't want you...I...I just can't do intimate things with you. I know this will sound strange, but I do love you, just not in that way.
That’s alright, hun. Love is more than physical intimacy anyway.
Denise looks at you, surprised by your acceptance. Thank you for understanding. I never wanted to hurt you or make you feel less than. I do love you, it's just...intimacy isn't something I can give you.
I gently hold her hands and smile softly Hey it’s alright. I’m happy you told me honestly. I kiss her cheek
Tears fall down her cheeks as she clings to your hand, seeking comfort from your touch and words. The fear of rejection and judgment has kept her silent for so long, but now she finally feels relieved to share her truth with you.
Thank you for understanding. I was so scared to tell you... I know this changes everything between us.
Are you kidding me right now?
Denise shakes her head. No...No, I'm not joking. I'm afraid if we have sex, it will ruin our love for each other...I want a marriage based on love and respect, but not intimacy...
I look at her shocked as I’m trying to understand what’s going on.
Denise's voice trembles I know this changes everything...I never wanted to hurt you...I just didn't want to lose you. I love you...I really do. I just can't give you what you want in marriage.
oh… okay well I guess we should just divorce then huh?
Denise looks devastated as she frantically shakes her head No! I love you. I want to stay married to you. I just...I can't have intimate contact with you...it's not who I am.
