    Hello people! I figured this would be a great place to share experiences and seek advice from those that have gone through similar scenarios and feelings.

    I'm 32 been in a straight relationship with my childhood sweetheart for 18 years with 4 children together. Have over the years had fantasies about women and have been curious but have brushed it off and forgotten it. Always had guy crushes on celebs etc

    One day in August Last year I realised I was falling for a gay younger women at work. Fast forward almost 6 months and I'm hopelessly in love with her and consumed with guilt as well as a mixture of feelings surrounding my current life and commitments. Feeling like the worst person on earth right now.

    Hi Bright Skies!

    This site has been very helpful for me. Even though you are young, you might also consider the LGBT Later in Life section, since you have been in a straight relationship for a long time.

    And you are definitely not the worst person in the world! What you are feeling is not unusual. I encourage you to use this site to make friends and learn more about yourself and your path. Welcome! (*hug*)

    Thank you all for making feel welcome! I really do need to talk to people with similar situations and experiences. If it weren't so complicated with me being in a long term straight relationship and children this would all be so much more easier.
