    Hello.

    I am a gay man married for 25 years. I am working on coming out but am currently terrified by the prospects, but also compelled to move forward.

    Thank you for your help and support.

    Josh

    Welcome Josh! You should definitely check out the "Later in Life" subforum. It's never too late to come out. :slight_smile:

    Welcome Josh. Look forward to talking to you more over in "Later in Life" where you'll find a lot of similar stories I'm sure. I've been married 19 years and came out just over 2 months ago. It's been a whirlwind of changes, but entirely worth it for both of us, and incredibly stressful and liberating at the same time.

    -Rick

    After all storm it comes the calm. Even if someone will not accept you, you fill free like bird on the sky.

    I have a question for you, did you know you were gay before you got married or did you feel like you were bisexual like I do now

    No. I had not accepted it. I knew I liked gay porn. But I thought that was all it was. I was in denial.
