    I'm in my 40s, never married and now am thinking I might be gay. I have dated women in the past, but really am not interested in that anymore. There are men I find attractive.

    Kinda late to be confused about all this, I know, but I'm here and trying to figure out what to do next.

    Hey, you've got a few years on me (and a few more responsibilities/attachments) but I imagine we're going through much the same thing "why did it take me so long to realise" "it seems obvious now looking back" "what if this is just a temporary thing"

    and as you said the biggest problem... "what to do now?"

    anyway, welcome

    Sounds exactly the same to me. I've got so many questions and feelings. I'm not going to ignore those any longer. And I am nervous even to talk about it, but at the same time, I'm excited to be here.
