    Hi everyone, I posted a message a couple of days ago. I was totally stressed out and did not know what to do. Thank you all for taking the time to give me some great advise. Its been a while that I did not feel all alone.

    Now I wanted to formally introduce my self.

    I am a 39 years old going to be 40 in a couple of months. It does not bother me too much because I am in the best shape of my life. I hit the gym about 4 times a week when work permits. I work a lot, about 50 hours a week. Over the past year or so I have been doing a lot of soul searching and realized that more likely than not that I am gay. I have had a couple of relationships in the past but nothing to long. I have been attracted to men for a while and for a long time thought I might be bi, but now I am coming to the realization that I do not want to get into a relationship with another woman.

    After reading the responses to my original posting I feel a lot more at ease and feel that in the end it will work it self out. This is all I can think of right now and just wanted to say Hi :smilewave and thanks.

    Hi there. I haven't seen your other post that you refer to - although I have no doubt that you received some excellent advice! I'm also in that age range, figuring it out later in life. I found this site extremely helpful. I hope you do to.

    So welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto!
