All I can say is that there is no "right" and "wrong" way about any of this. Everyone has regrets. Almost everyone thinks he or she fucked up in...
I think that this is not uncommon. It is certainly close to my own experience. If there is a clear explanation, I have certainly not heard it. I...
Well, if it's reassurances you're looking for, allow me to reassure you. It's not too late to live your life as you feel you should. It's scary as...
A friend asked me not all that long ago whether I every wish I could be 18 again and come out and live my entire adult life as gay. I had to...
The only advice I can offer is that you should not be so hard on yourself. I don't think you "cheated" on your husband. You found out something...
Your story sounds very familiar. It sounds like my own story, to some extent, and like stories I have heard from others who have posted here and...
I think it makes sense to take it slow. You're going into a process that can feel painful at times and rewarding at others. The most important...
What led your wife to ask you, directly or indirectly, whether you were gay?
I have no simple answer for you. I don't know what role my coming out had in ending my marriage. It was already falling apart for other reasons....

Thanks, gaslight88. It's a challenge, that's for sure. I certainly haven't reached that sort of enlightenment yet. I feel at the moment that I...
While I'm waiting for the kitchen floor to dry, I'd like to think out loud here and ask your opinion. All of us are drawn to the site because...
I have sometimes thought that a partnership with a lesbian or bi woman would be great. We could fill whatever emotional needs we have for hetero...
As to your original question, I can't imagine what possible objection anyone could have to just showing up to meet people. I'm sure that a lot of...
I think that everything you say sounds pretty normal to me. The second-guessing can be endless. And I have had that back-and-forth experience. You...
Love this post, findingjoy. It sounds exactly like me. And, yes, the orgasms are damn near cosmic in their greatness! Ha! You're right....
Thank you Confused54, findingjoy and I'm gay. I think I'm actually less fearful than I was a few days ago. But who knows? Tomorrow I may be more...
