Hi EC people. You can call me Maz. I'm 47, and my sexuality is something that I have long struggled with and I tried to process it in some ways during my life. Frankly, I feel like a duck out of water, because I am so much older than when a quote unquote typical LGBT person comes out. What finally happened was my marriage is ending after being with my wife for 24 years now. This was not because of my perceived sexuality; but just because sometimes things don't work out no matter how much you love each other. I loved being married to a woman, love my two school-age boys, love women's bodies. But once my wife said our married relationship could not go on. I started thinking about my life and how if I had been brave enough I earlier I might be at peace with all of who I am now. So, it's like: Well... I have a lot of life experience, so that's good! But dealing with my sexuality I feel like I am a teen or young adult (without my young adult body!), so that's bad! I do look forward to learning from everyone here. I am grateful there is an online community like this.
