Im Bill in OHio. I am very, very new here. I am 54 married with a wonderful wife. I finally came to terms with be bisexual a few years ago. I couldn't keep my gender identity from my wife anymore. I finally just told her that I was as attracted to women as I am men. I showed her a soft porn DVD the other evening, before I came out to her. She saw how turned on I became watching the movie and she never batted an eye. My wife isn't one to discuss sex much, unless we are in the bedroom. So this is where I told her that I am bi. Obviously she had a few questions and was afraid that I was going to leave her. I put my answer into perspective and told her that I haven't left her for a woman either. LOL My biggest concern at this point is she is very accepting of my bisexuality, in which I am very grateful for. However, she hasn't said much more about it. I don't know if she is still in the accepting stage, or "silence is not golden" in her case. Is this usual for a spouse to be this way, or is there more thoughts that my wife is having and not sharing them with me?
Hello and welcome to EC!! It's always nice to see some more Ohioians around here I don't know the answer to your question.. you may have some more luck posting it in the later in life section, since there are more people who have gone through this in that section
Welcome to my fellow Ohioan, there are actually a decent amount of people from Ohio on here, who knew that would be a thing. I agree with Brad, the Later in Life Forum might be a good place. Being Bi and being with someone can be difficult, I do not know what it is like with a spouse. But I do have a boyfriend and I am bi, and he is as well. Open communication is important with something like this. It can be awkward and difficult at times, but it is a must. You told your wife that you will not leave her and that is important. I wish you the best and we are here for you.
