I’ve posted this on a couple of other threads but wanted post here as well. I hope that’s ok. I’m divorcing after 20 + years of marriage. It’s one one of those things where you kinda grow apart. I accept that. Although, I have experienced, over the past several years, that I’m more attracted to men than women. Not sure if that’s part of the reason, but it is what it is. I’m in my 50s and was just wondering what advice you all may have regarding this. How do I move forward and how to explore my feelings? I’d like to explore more, but not sure of the avenues to do so, if that makes since.
Start slow. Depending on where you are, meetup.com has local groups for activities for gay men. And there are a lot of groups that tend to attract older gay men. Where I am in Sacramento, there are at least a dozen... hiking, board games, movie night, breakfast/dinner outings, networking mixers, all sorts of things. That can be a good way to connect with people. There are a couple of dating apps that seem to work well for people (avoid the hookup apps, unless you are just looking for meaningless sex, because that's pretty much all you get.) Of course, right now, meeting in person is a no-go, but some of the groups are doing virtual meetings, which can be, depending on your perspective, easier or harder. But dipping your toe in is the first step.
Well I’m in the same situation.. I’m scared to mention the word divorce. I love my family and would miss the perfect house with the picket fence.. Did you tell your wife you might be bi/ gay?
I would agree attending meetup groups to ease your toes into the LGBT scene. I'm currently married, but have gone to a few LGBT meetup and have find them very helpful in my coming out process
