    I've been in a hetero marriage for 30 years, just divorcing this summer. The divorce was because we had had a lifeless marriage from the beginning and over the years our interests had gone in completely different directions.

    This midlife "crisis" has helped me to look at what is really true for me and after giving up religion several years ago (also a lifeless relationship-no hard feelings) I'm coming to the realization that I have a lot of male tendencies that a lot of men have trouble with.

    I've always been attracted to both men and women but most of my friends are men. Most women don't "get" me.

    I'm here because one of my male friends just blew my mind when he told me that most women don't worry about dating, they just wait for the men to ask them out. I have been stressing out about how to start in a new relationship after 30 years of marriage!

    I have no idea where to go from here. :help:
