    Hiya,

    I'm a 40 year old woman, considered myself bi but very very repressed for years, married for 15 years. I have recently come out to my husband as gay when I realised that I just didn't get any sexual connection or emotional draw from men at all. Denial is a strong master! He was and is being very supportive and probably pretty much knew before I did properly, or at least strongly suspected.

    It's still very recent so things are up in the air and discussions are ongoing but I am looking forward to getting some input from others who have been in a similar situation about what worked for them. We have children so I don't want to cause them unnecessary distress if it can be avoided, I spent most of my own childhood bouncing from one parental divorce to another - and I know how damaging that is - but I also need to stop pretending I am something that I am not.

    Looking forward to getting stuck in :slight_smile:
