    I am a married man, fifty years old. Been married for 26 years. I’m still unsure of my sexuality. In the back of my mind I know I am attracted to other men, been for awhile now, maybe since my teens. I had one experience many years ago and enjoyed it.

    I feel I am attracted to a man who is friends with my wife. I always suspected he may like guys, just not sure. Do I approach or just wait and see if there’s any interest. Not sure how to proceed at this point.

    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    It sounds to me like you should talk to your wife. 26 years must be a pretty strong marriage, and as long as you were truthful to her than there's nothing wrong with your feelings towards other guys. Just remember that sexuality is a broad spectrum, and it's totally fine to question, just know that you don't have to go through this alone!

    Thx. It’s difficult since these feelings only surfaced again very recently. I struggle with the right approach. I’ve dropped hints, only hints to my sexuality at this stage in my life. She knows I like men, or assumes I do.

    Other thoughts are welcome
