its like he wants you to know, but doesn’t have the way to tell you…I would do it in a note- you know, telling him you know, but it matters not, and that when he is ready, you will be there. And that he need not fret or worry about your reaction, nor your husbands, and that you want to be part of his life and loves…

I think it might give your son a sense of relief if you make the first “move” with no pressure to talk about it further…but this way, when he comes home, he doesn’t have to put up the “straight” front to you…and I would talk to my H, about the possibllity, so he won’t be blindsided (men hate that)- sounds like your H will be fine with your sons homosexuality anyway, but as most dads are, is kind of cluesless to the general activities of their children anyway

My H knows my D has a boyfriend in college, but he doesn’t ask about him, just wants to be sure D is happy…and that is the depth of his discussion, he cares, but doesn’t ask much
