    Hi,

    I'm looking for support & advice if possible. I got married a few years ago to a wonderful straight man, and shortly after began having feelings and attraction to a woman for the first time. This led to first one affair, then another, and I still feel completely torn about whether to stay married or not. I know now that I really enjoy women, but I'm afraid to come out and lose everything I thought I had wanted until now. It feels like my world has flipped upside down, and it is terribly lonely. I'm not proud to have had affairs behind his back. But I don't know who I am anymore, or why I didn't figure out my attraction to women earlier... If anyone else has gone through something like this, please reach out.

    Thank you for reading.
