Having been in your dad's shoes, by coming out at 45 during a divorce, I know some of the pitfalls you're worrying about. But, if he's given the former wife crabs, he's been doing this for a while and probably knows the ropes fairly well. His "gay spring" will be over soon enough, and I think your prying will be a bigger issue in the long run. Don't intervene. It would be like your parents lecturing you about the amount or types of sex you had during high school or college. You didn't like it then. He won't like it now.

Karey, I understand your frustration, but I'd suggest that you draw your uncle and his partner aside sometime, and tell them that you respect their relationship. Just letting them know it's ok to be themselves is really all they need to hear from you. Believe me, they already are very aware of their practices and the charade. They may be just stuck in that 70s80s time-warp, and may feel powerless to change things - fear will do that to you. But, I assure you, even just knowing that they have a "pal" in the family who understands them and more importantly - respects their relationship - will strengthen your relationship with him and may eventually lead them to believe it is no longer necessary to play the game anymore. Not that they will ever put on an evening of showtunes or plan a leather nite for the family, but you didn't want that anyway, did you?
