Straight turned gay reddit
Home / gay topics / Straight turned gay reddit
We had a normal marriage and sex life in every way. to myself. I kept my sexuality to myself, as I felt it was irrelevant and that there was nothing I could do about it. I told her I was gay and she (in shock I guess) said nothing and left the room. I went back in the closet big time... my kids, family, and friends know. During this time I saw several co-workers get together, get married and now have kids...
I also realized that the label of 'gay' made more sense than 'bi,' did, as I am rarely if ever attracted to women (my wife seemed to be the exception to this, though if I am being honest, it was much more of an emotional attachment than a physical one), and have no desire to date or have sex with women.
I'm now 'out' out...
But I didn't accept myself... Part of me felt responsible for her death, as if my being bi or gay and that feeling of regret somehow caused it. Anyhow I am 47 Was 13 in 1986 and there was no chance of coming out then. Eventually, after a mental breakdown pretty much and a lot of booze and tears, I finally admitted I was gay. Every time the news talked about him, his parents, the men who did it, I would begin crying.
I can't predict what would have happened if she hadn't passed away. Life is brutal and terrible and lonely and horrible for a lot of people, gay straight, bi or whatever. If my relationship with her were to end, I would give men a shot. He's active in PFLAG and the HRC, which is something I never expected.
It really does get better."

I was about to turn 38 and my beautiful wife of 17 amazing years was about to turn 33.
As a very confused teenager who didn’t understand the double attraction and not having anyone to compare or talk to I had kept it private for years.

I don't have flair I don't know how to do it.. and did not socialize or tried not to .. Knowing that I couldn’t be completely happy in my current situation, I took a risk that paid off for us all —> it’s been 16 years since I came out - my kiddos are grown and successfully contributing members of society and my ex-wife is still one of my closest allies.
Then I moved and got into a job that put me in a lot of small towns. I remember my father saying, 'Those boys went easy on him, I would of set his f****t ass on fire.' My father had never said anything like that before (the country had never dealt with anything like it before) and instead of telling him right then and there, I was a coward and agreed with him."
