Hello Gentlemen and Ladies, and warm hellos to the lovely Doctors.
A while ago after a discussion with Dr Sean he suggested that it might be a good idea to have a safe place on here where men who have sex with men who are married or partnered with women can talk about and share their experiences and worries, ask questions and get support, and he suggested I might like to start it! So here we go.
My story is probably pretty typical, fiddled around a bit at school, more seriously later on! Scared to come out, not sure I was gay, met a simply great woman quite young who I adored and still adore and wanted kids eventually, got them, love them more than I thought possible. All through my marriage I thought casual sex with men was somehow justifiable, got caught, got forgiven, parents died, fell overwhelmingly and unstoppably in love with a guy, got caught again, then got over him and after a period of about a year fell hopelessly and gorgeously in love with my man. Working on separating from wife now and making a life with him, have told the kids most of it, dealing with horrendous feelings of guilt and sadness, but at the same time the roller coaster takes me higher into happiness and peacefulness than ever before. I am in a position of real honesty both with myself and my wife and kids for the first time, however I understand and now fully appreciate what the realities of that are and you will not find me judging anyone at all on here.
There's so much more but that's well enough!
Please do feel free to share, ask Qs, however personal, whatever you want. Keep it friendly and supportive or Sean will delete you!
