    Greetings-

    I am a EC newbie, so I thought I would introduce myself. I am coming to terms with being a gay man, which is complicated in my situation (as if it has been easy for anyone). I have been married for 11 years and have two wonderful young kids. So far I have only come out to my wife and one friend, both have been supportive; even though it means my wife loses her happily ever after. I hope to find people to chat with, maybe even someone who has been in a similar situation. Friends would be great too.

    Thanks-

    Nate

    Hey, welcome to EC!

    I can't say I'm in the same situation, but I'm a transman married to a straight man, which is probably just as tricky. You're in a safe place with a lot of cool people. We're here to help.

    Good luck, man. :thumbsup:
