Friends?

Absolutley looking for friends to talk to! I've only been out on EC for a week and I am starved for conversation. I need to be honest up front thou, in case your not interested. I am not a young man, I am not out to my family or anyone around me. I am only out here on EC. This means that I have been hiding in the closet for over 50 years. I know that sounds impossible, but it is true. Circumstances always prevent that step from happening or I am just chicken. Part of the issue...I am a high school teacher...that's a pretty big hurdle. I have always cared a great deal for my "kids" and would not for any reason harm them. I lived in the same small town the woman who became my wife lived in. She was one of the few who ever showed me the kind of caring and love I was looking for. So, knowing that I was gay I made the choice To love and cherish her no matter what. I choose to keep that marriage vow untell - death...etc.
So here I am a gay man with a loving family and wife, a full heart, that sometimes cracks
wide open and I spill gallons of tears (I am right now). But I made a vow that will be kept.
Before we bring out all the kleenex, though....I have found EC!! JOY! JOY! Just a week ago I stumbled on this site and since then I have been overflowing with joy, and pain, stupidity, and support from others....it's so wonderful that I can hardly contain myself.
So if you want a friend to talk to....I'll be the one, and I hope for you, the many friends not just one.
