    Hi everyone,

    Just saying hello and taking my first steps into a new place in my life. I was married for 16 years recently divorced with two teenage daughters. Had some feelings over the years that I may not be straight but carried on with my normal every day life. With occasional connections with women (I don't mean affairs or physical connections )

    But three months ago, that changed and i was able to be truthful about how i felt and I am now processing this realisation, only two other people know so far.

    So here I am trying to make sense of this all :icon_bigg

    Hey congrats. Even though you've went through a divorce, it seems (by the little I know) that you're moving forward with your life. All I can say is I really hope you continue to ponder this stuff and best of luck settling into a fulfilling lifestyle!

    Hello, and welcome to EC! Congratulations on figuring this out! And wow, you were in a heterosexual relationship for 16 years? That's very interesting! I'm so glad that you found this forum. EC has helped me understand a lot about myself within just a matter of days, and I'm sure it will do the same for you. If you ever need anything, just message me. :grin:
