    Hi everyone,
    Just joined today. I'm a 36 year old guy who's just come out to my wife of 6yrs and close family and friends. This is a confusing time for me so on here for some advice and support.

    Hi! It will be a very tough time at first, I remember when I came out and I was met with all kinds of negativity. It was a time when being gay was still not accepted by most and we weren't allowed to get married. Life has gotten much better in the 13 years I've been out, but only until recently when I met the man of my dreams. Sounds cliched, but it's true. I have surrounded myself with people that accept me for who I am and don't judge others based on stereotypes. Hang in there and may the Force be with you!
