Following his marriage to his student Antonina Milyukov in 1877, the composer Peter Tchaikovsky expressed his belief that pretending to the end of one's life is the ultimate torment. This statement raises an intriguing question today: how prevalent is this conclusion among men with homosexual tendencies who have married women? This book, originally published in 1983, aims to address these questions and provide insights into the phenomenon of homosexual marriage. Despite a recent increase in publications on homosexuality at the time, there was limited information available on the married homosexual man, making this study particularly valuable.

In his work, Michael Ross delves into the social pressures faced by homosexuals and explores the consequences of living a contradictory lifestyle. He examines the reasons behind heterosexual-married homosexual men's marriages, the challenges they encounter within their marriages, and the adjustments and adaptations they make in response to the pressures from family and society. The socio-psychological profile presented in this book sheds light on both the mechanisms by which homosexuals navigate societal pressures and the unique problems and perspectives of married homosexuals.

This book is a re-issue of the original publication from 1983. It is important to note that the language used reflects the era in which it was written, and no offense is intended by the Publishers towards any reader through this re-publication.
