Open Question: Should I feel shame because my husband isn't manly enough in public?<\/b>
\nMy ex- husband was a big, macho kind of guy<\/a>. My new husband and I have been friends for 20 years and just got married 1 1\/2 years ago. He is plenty “manly” enough when he needs to be, but I feel that publicly people look at him and wonder if he is gay<\/a> or not. He is shy and often talks in hushed tones ( I get embarassed when the waitress has to ask him to repeat everything because she can not hear him speak) My son plays in a travel hockey league and the parents always tease me because my husband is the only one there with a book to read. He doesn’t have any real friends outside of our marriage. He does talk to the other dads at hockey, but never seems to fit in. I hesitate to introduce him to new people because I am afraid that they will think he is “gay<\/a>” I have had one person ask me of he was gay<\/a> before we really started to date and that has bothered me ever since. I know it sounds strange, but I want him to yell or scratch himself or SOMETHING….is it wrong for me to think this?
