Shadow Dancing: My Journey as My Wife Came Out of the Closet

by Gary Cooper

Shadow Dancing is my story and the stories of other men whose wives came out of the closet as lesbians and left them for a woman.
This began for me after my wife of 13 years started a relationship (without my knowledge) with a woman. I was totally blindsided. I realized men seldom talk about hurt and pain, and they definitely do not talk about their wives leaving them for a woman and how it impacts their lives. This is how it impacted me and these men.

[Rise · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful and powerful read. I would say that Gary went through quite a struggle to finally realize that his wife was indeed a lesbian. In my opinion there were many signs I would have picked up earlier on in the book like always going to lesbian bars or parties where only lesbian women were. I did not find anywhere in the book where they went out to do things with straight couples. That in itself to me should have been a sign. Another question could be was the wife introducing or inviting lesbian people into their work environment or lives? I'm not one to judge anyone preference as to what side of the playing field they choose to play on it is his or her choice, because there is at least one in every family. And like the author said they may not be ready to come out of the closet so they continue to shadow dance. What a great title for this book to really understand what it means.
