    Hey guys,

    I'm Tom. It's not my real name, but you can all call me that - it works nicely. I've posted in another thread already, figured I'd let you all know who this crazy new person was.

    I'm a bisexual, 23-year old guy, currently in a healthy and open relationship with my wife but heavily in the closet otherwise. I have a friend or two who knows exactly what my orientation is, but they're essentially sworn to secrecy and no one in my family or work life has any idea. I actually talk about that more in the other post.

    More than anything, I'm here looking for supporting opinions and good advice. I can't come out of the closet yet, as it'd jeopardize my financial well-being and job security, to say nothing of alienating family members, so until I'm secure enough to make the leap I really just hope I can find a few people to talk to here, and a few who might listen.

    Thanks, and again, hi!

    Hi Tom. Take your time, go at your own pace. I waited 6 years to tell my wife. I think you'll like this site. Very nice people here.
