    Not even sure where to start with this except I know that I am in need of some serious advice. Married here for 18 years (I'm 47) with 3 great kids. Ive always been attracted to guys but burried it for many years. I've recent allowed myself to have some safe encounters over the past few years but was still in denial..until I met a younger guy 10 months ago that is also not out (and half my age). I get the age thing but we've both come to terms with who we both really are since being together exclusively. We're able to see each other often and have taken some great trips together. He is very in touch with his feelings as am I and we do love each other and would like to give this a go..He's not looking for a "sugar daddy" as he pays his way for things and also doesn't have "daddy" issues. I just don't even know how to do this as my wife has no idea and we actually get along great just lack in the sexual area and quite frankly always have but it has not hindered our relationship...I truly care and love her but now know and accept myself for who I am and want to be thanks to this guy. We both (he and I) acknowledge that we are in love and want this to work..just no idea how to go about it without crushing the family Ive built and love dearly. Sorry for the lengthy intro
