My partner said she was wondering what was going on right before I told her. After I had come out to myself, I was much more affectionate with her...
Hi Adray. Definitely appreciate the advice and personally don't find it TMI at all. I must admit I'm probably as hesitant as my partner is,...
Can relate as well...just sending more *hugs* your way.
Hi Nickw. I'm impressed at how both you and your wife have approached this. It sounds like you took it head on but sensibly at the same time. I...
Hi Johndeere. I can relate, even if it's a different set of circumstances for me. Spent 8 years of my twenties alone, and sometimes regret that I...
Hi hrc! Thanks for responding. Yes, this definitely resonates with me. And it seems like the attraction can vary from month to month, or even day...

Hi ColoradoRyan - I can totally relate...in fact came out even later than you! My partner has been super-amazing in understanding, and I also have...
And that is a huge issue. By going out and having sex without her knowledge or consent, your partners become her partners, and she has absolutely...
Rachael1954 that reminds me of a question I keep asking myself when I encounter myself resisting my own sexual identity: Why is it I am so...
I've noticed my emotions have been a bit loopy the past month since coming out to my partner, but have decided that's not necessarily a bad thing....
Thanks again for all your thoughts...really means a lot to hear them! My introverted self will do its best to respond in kind. :) Gomez, that's...

Thanks for all the wonderful responses! Really helps to hear all your thoughts and feelings! Whoknows, my immediate response was to say that...
