Hi Everyone
I'm nervous about writing this, but I've read so many thread looking for answers and support, so I thought I'd write my own.
I've been in a straight relationship for over 10 years with one DC. After a very upsetting year falling for a female friend......I'm realising i think im gay. It's been very difficult to come to terms with and I'm still not there. I'm currently seeking councelling and I have been honest with my partner about how I feel. It didn't come as much of a shock as I've always been openly bi + plus he's seen me hit rock bottom over my thoughts about my sexuality and now he just wants me to get some clarity and be happy.
I've had 1 brief relationship with a woman and lots of female encounters previous to relationship.
But now something inside has been woken up.....and now I can't stop thinking what it would be like for me to be with a woman again. I've never felt particularly attracted to men, always said my partner is the only man I could be with.
I just feel there is this huge part of me that knows who I am deep down, and now it needs confronting. So I just wondered if anyone else has gone through the same experience and how they dealt with it? Especially with the family. My guilt is eating me up, the possibility of breaking up my family home is a daily struggle.
Advise would be good.
