I have been married for 28 years I am just now coming out as gay and my soon to be ex is not handling this well.
Hello and welcome to EC! :smilewave :welcome: It's a pleasure to meet you! Please feel free to tell us your concerns, problems, and difficulties concerning this. I would give your wife some space right now to let her think this over. I hope that she comes through and will still be on good terms with you and be happy for you in the end. Whatever the case, EC is always here for support!
Hi there and welcome You've hit the jackpot of support here at EC... everyone here is really amazing. You've definitely come to the right place.
Welcome! My ex-spouse did not handle things well either, but eventually we were on good terms. (Though I had other issues going on besides sexuality.) I really hope everything works out for you. This is a great place for support.
Good lord and good luck! Please come to the elderly section (LGBT later in life) :eusa_doh: and give a post on how you finally came to accept yourself as you are. As I was never married I'd be interested in hearing how your thoughts evolved over the years... must have thought you were bi the whole time, yah? Keep it under 13 pages. :eusa_doh: Seriously though, welcome!
Hey Swimmer1981, welcome to EC! First and foremost, recognize that you are not alone, everything else is commentary, check out the LGBT Later in Life section.
