The original poster (OP) is currently maintaining silence about her husband's likely s*xual orientation and related private activities to preserve the s**bility of her family, despite knowing the truth for years.
The central conflict is between the OP's desire for marital security and the es**blished family structure versus the unspoken truth and the integrity of their intimate relationship.
