This is besides for the fact that there are some poskim who have brought up the possibility that by not disclosing this fact, your kiddusin can be considered invalid on the grounds that it's a מקח טעות since the kallah does not know a crucial piece of information regarding the person she's marrying. 

Terrific all you married guys who didn’t bury your wife in all your issues before you married her pack up and move out You heard it here first, your kiddushin is pasul and everything you’ve worked towards is for naught. 

Carry on with your day please

You can pretend that this is just one minor issue but we all know that this isn't a small or minor thing. This is a fundamental part of who this person is. The person who is marrying him should be able to make an informed decision about this. It is manipulative to keep it from her until after you are already married. You can delude yourself into thinking otherwise but it is wrong.

Foolie are you a posek. If not then great but thanks. REAL POSKIM whom I’ve spoken to have told me not to say anything. Again I want advice. I’m not asking for anyones perceived halochic statements. I’m sure there are lots of poskim who say lots of things. I’ll follow mine. EVERYONE has issues in their lives. U don’t know the exact stage I’m at. I wish you all a lot of hatzlocha

If someone values his connection to his kallah he has to be fully honest with her. There is zero justification for keeping this information from someone who has every right to know this fact about the person they are marrying. I am actually really baffled by the responses here. Do you all think that women are just dumb pieces of property who don't have the right to make their own decisions about what they're getting into? Do you even hear yourselves? 

This is besides for the fact that there are some poskim who have brought up the possibility that by not disclosing this fact, your kiddusin can be considered invalid on the grounds that it's a מקח טעות since the kallah does not know a crucial piece of information regarding the person she's marrying. 

Zag,  I can't imagine how scary this must feel right now but please do not hurt someone by following the advice of the people on this thread. There is no ethical justification for the withholding of such information from someone who is about to commit their entire life to you. Do the right thing and tell her. 

I haven't seen anyone say to keep this secret from her forever. What I have seen is advice that such a disclosure should only be made after consulting his Rabbi and therapist who actually know him and NOT based on opinions on a secret forum...

I definitely wouldn't take a paskan on the validity of the kidushin base on the very little information provided here.

The information provided here is very simple and straightforward: Zag is telling us that he is attracted to men and has had sexual relationships with other men. He is asking for advice. Anyone who is intellectually honest and not afraid to accept difficult truths knows that the right thing to do, the correct advice, is to provide the person he is about to marry, important relevant information about himself. She needs this information because she has the right to know these important facts about the person she's about to commit the rest of her life to.

Foolie are you a posek.

I understand sarcasm and cynicism is hard to get from a block of text, but try parsing what is being said before you get offended

I’m not offended. I’m asking u a serious question. I want practical advice not someone whose not a posek to tell me halocha. However although I’m not offended I won’t pretend not be hurt by your comment. I’m in a real struggle right now. I do want sensitivity.

Since my comment wasn’t directed at you there is no reason for you to be hurt or offended I’m on your side of this issue

But it was directed at me. U are saying that I should tell MY Kalla. Again to reiterate I respect your opinion and my rabbayim told me not to.

It was directed at the gentleman telling you to tell her. I promise you if I followed his advice we wouldn’t be having this conversation because I wouldn’t be around to have it with you as it’s kind of hard to type when you’re buried six feet under

Foolie was replying to Triyig who paskend that kidushin is not chal. So he was adding that if that were so then most of us here which have secrets are not really married
