I've started a new email and new MN registration for this, I don't want any possibility of this getting back to me.
I'm in my 40s, married with children, and literally no one to talk about this to.
I feel like I've lived most of my life doing the right thing for other people.
At any point in my formative years if I've had any confusion or problems it was made clear that everyone was the same, everyone just had to get on with it. My parents and siblings were/are homophobic, and I've always been very compliant, to the point where I don't feel I've ever been able to be me.
I've never had much interest in sex with dh, although will enjoy it once I'm into it, but most of the time I'd rather not bother. I do love him though, and would never do anything to hurt him.
It feels ridiculous to get to my age and suddenly wonder if I'm gay or bisexual. Surely this should have been obvious to me at least!
I find very few people attractive, but of those I do, they are equally men or women, as I get older it's more women.
I can't work out if I really am gay/bi, or if it's some sort of midlife crisis.
Has his happened to anyone else?

Is it possible to get to middle age and realise you're gay?
