Bio

I am currently on a journey of self-discovery and growth, figuring out what life looks like when I stop holding back. I enjoy outdoor exercise and music. Music is a huge part of my life, it always seems to say what words can’t. I also love gaming and unwinding with a solid story, whether in a book, movie, or game. Right now, I’m focused on embracing change and stepping into the world as my true self. Even though it's going to be messy (I think!)

Married & Questioning – Navigating Without Hurting Anyone
LGBTQ+ / MOGII Support / by Mike126

...See more I’m in my late 30s, married, with a child, and only recently started questioning my sexuality. For most of my life, I assumed I was straight, but over the last few months, I’ve felt something shift, and I can’t ignore it anymore. It’s confusing, exciting, and honestly a bit terrifying. I want to be clear that I love my wife and don’t want to hurt her in any way, shape, or form. This isn’t about acting on impulse or doing anything behind her back. I have already spoken to her about making connections in the community, but I haven’t told her exactly where I stand yet, because, truthfully, I’m still figuring that out myself. I need to understand who I am, what this means for me, and what space I want to occupy in the world. Right now, I don’t know exactly what this means. I feel drawn to exploring it, but at the same time, I worry about what this could mean for my life. I guess I’m just looking to hear from others who’ve been through something similar, especially if you started questioning later in life. If anyone has been through this—figuring things out while in a long-term relationship, navigating attraction later in life, or just generally understanding their identity—I’d love to hear how you handled it. I appreciate any advice or perspectives!
