    Hello everyone, as I have read many times, I too am happy to have found this site. I'm 30 years old and I live in Australia.

    My situation stems from getting a little bit too comfortable in the closet and actually not wanting to face any thought that I am a gay man. I guess this comes from my upbringing and the context of the social economic area I grew up in. But now I feel that the time has come for me to begin to let people in my life get to know me properly.

    I am married and have 4 beautiful kids. A few years ago my wife figured something was up and I "came out" to her and she was beyond amazing.... We are still married and plan to stay that way until we don't see it working. Other than her, no other person knows that I am gay (unless they suspect it and haven't said anything).

    So heres to another life phase! It will be good to meet everybody on here! I've enjoyed reading your stories.

    thanks given to fly..... had a quick look at your profile, we have a few similarities not coming to terms with who we are until turning 30. there are such pressures put on us by ourselves and our situations and I sometimes just think it would be so much easier just to come out and get it over and done with!

    Life for me has been so much easier since I came out - I really do wish I'd done it years ago and maybe saved myself some heartache. I'm lucky in that I never got married, although I nearly did at one point. Sounds like you've got an amazing wife :slight_smile:
