I always knew to a degree, although I made the decision to get married and start a family because it was really what I had always wanted. I came...
EXACTLY!!! People sense when you're trying too hard or are not being true to yourself, and it puts them off. If you don't belong, it probably...
I can never be brief, so consider yourself warned. I grew up in a close, large extended family and expected to get married and have 6 kids, and...
Congrats, David! This past July marked 10 years since I joined EC, which was a few months after I took a deep breath, said the magic words "I'm...
I wish I could have gotten my ex-wife into some kind of therapy after I came out, but she has always resisted anything that might imply she was...
I signed on the EC in July 2013 and came out to my wife a few months later. In January 2014, a new guy signed on and we quickly discovered that we...
I grew up in a big extended family where no one was even adult and single (except the priest uncle and the nun aunt), much less gay and out. Even...
How whimsical - I signed on for the first time in quite a while, and someone had liked a post if mine in this thread from something like 9 and a...
After awhile you discover people don't even have to wonder if you're a couple, because your body language totally gives you away. My guy and I are...

I am not at all familiar with any of the apps, and my ridiculous experience "dating" (if you can even call it that) was to meet someone online way...
Thanks for sharing. My "Roger" was a guy I met when I went away to college as a junior, after commuting to a local university for 2 years. His...
@Highlander2 I feel bursting into a chorus of "Thanks for the Memories" after paging through your old post. I see so many names I remember. Some...
That's a great post, and has many wise observations. Although I did pretty much "drop the bomb" myself, I did attempt to drop many, many hints...
@Bastion fortunately I told the girls before things started to circulate. They have been incredibly supportive right from the start, and consider...
I remember reading gay fiction at Walden Books by an author named Gordon Merrick without a second thought. But my mom was very anti (straight)...
I think it was Labor Day weekend of 2013 that I came out impulsively to my ex-wife after another of many rounds of fighting. I was well beyond...
No great a-ha moment for me. My experience was more like what you see in movies sometimes, where a scene is focusing on something in the...
I am so sorry to hear about the breakup and what you have gone through! You are very special to my guy and me, because when he was googling for...
When I first came out, it was to a couple gay and gay-friendly people at work. One was completely surprised and had never guessed; another had had...
