    Hey, I am new on this site and am looking forward to meeting some new people and be a part of a supportive community. Not only am I new to this site, but I am new to being open about my sexuality... been in the closet way too long and it is causing a lot of problems and heart ache, as I have been in a straight marriage for many years and have 2 kids.
    I am having a really tough weekend, as my wife's anger is reaching new levels. It pains me to see her so hurt and know that I am the cause of her pain, but I also know I can't keep living the lie we have been living. I am just really tired and worn out from deflecting anger all weekend... I know it is part of the process and the journey, but it also really sucks...:icon_sad:

    Welcome to EC. I hate to hear that you are having such a hard time and I pray for it to get better. I know how you feel. I broke off an engagement a few years ago at the last second. It hurt really bad at first but in the end it was the right thing.

    Hello! You should definitely check the "later in life" subforum. It's never too late to come out (unless you die...).
