Synopsis
These couples promise to love, honour and obey and then it turns out he is gay. Sadly as many as 20% of the male gay population take a wife before realising they need to face the world and step out of the closet.

In this one-hour film we meet five couples where the husband has finally revealed the truth. For the wives who discover their marriage has been a lie, sometimes after 20+ years of marriage, it is earth shattering. "He said he had cancer and he kept going away for treatment I was devastated. Then I found out the truth." - Ann 40, the perfect businessman's wife. "We were the ideal family, but then he walked out. No explanation or anything." - Lucy 28, the girl next door. "It was like being hit by an express train 38 years of deceit and lies." - Helen 58. This programme examines how each have come to terms, or haven't, with the men they married and how their life expectations have shifted. Some of them are single again and alone, whilst their husbands are getting on with exploring an exciting new world. How will they explain the new facts of life to their children who, although young, are already beginning to ask questions? Compelling human stories told in a compassionate way.
