I just 3 hours ago laid it all on the line. I might be a bit incoherent because I'm still in shock. I got home from school (vocational-free-on-the-federal-dime school) today, the kids were asleep and my wife was already in bed reading the Dresden files like I trained her ( ;) ). And I locked the bedroom door behind me, she thought I wanted sex, but instead I told her everything.

I told her about some stuff that happened to me when I was a kid, every painful detail, I told her about how it has affected my life and drove me to drugs. I told her that I was confused about how I have been feeling lately, but at the last minute I chickened out. I told her that I couldn't talk about some stuff because I'm still not quite comfortable with who I am yet, and then retreated to the shower to keep from fainting.

And then I realized something, not only had I never really been honest with my wife, ever, at the same time I wasn't really being honest with myself either, as much as I tried to tell everyone else otherwise.

So I toweled off and went back into the bedroom. She was still really absorbing everything that I had told her, and I said "There's more. I really really don't know how to say this, and I don't know how you're going to feel about me after I tell you this. Understand I have never cheated on you and don't ever plan to. but...."

At which point she chimed in with "You like guys?"

I was dumbstruck, the only thing that flashed through my head was: So it's that obvious huh?

It took me a second to respond, and I told her yes, that I loved her more than anyone has ever loved a person, but that I fantasized pretty much constantly about cock.

----------------------

Now before I go on I feel I have to give some background info on my wife, she comes from a very large familly and an extremely religious background. She has always acted repulsed at the idea of alternate sexuality. She has done everything over the years to show to me that telling her what I was thinking would be the instant and painful end of our marriage.

And lord knows she has enough ammo to take the kids from me in a divorce if she ever chose to. So I knew what a gamble I was taking, I was betting both my happiness and that of her and my kids. If I'd just been betting money I would have never taken those odds. But I also knew that keeping it a secret any longer would kill me as swiftly and surely as a bullet.


-----------------------------------------

She looked at me and asked 'Are you going to leave me for another man?'

I said, 'If I ever thought you believed that I wouldn't want to live anymore.' (the truth, and only the truth)

'Are you still attracted to me?'

'Yes'.


I sat down next to her on the bed at this point and she was quiet for a long time. I started feeling faint again, and I had to lie down on the ground or I would have gone toes up. I was just waiting for her to tell me to go out and sleep on the couch, or pack up my stuff and leave, or anything other than what she said.

Finally, and with excrutiating slowness she turned to face me. Then she looked right in my eyes and said: "So I suppose you're going to want to have a 3 way now with another guy?" She said it with a nervous laugh, only half serious, but her eyes were clear as saphires.

My first instinct was to say "No never, you're all I need!" or something else similarly stupid. But instead I remembered that I'm never going to lie to her again. So instead what I heard come out of my mouth was: "Only if you're ok with it."

She nodded once. Just that, but man was that enough.

She said "You know, cheating on me with a guy is the same as cheating with me on a woman, you know that." To which I replied "Yes." then after a second I added, "Only if you're there to take the pictures." And a huge grin split her face.

Then she went on to tell me that she thinks what happened to me is more common than most people think, and considering what I've been through, it's not that weird that I've thought about the same sex, and that she thinks most people have at one time or another. Then she told me that I wasn't the only one who was wrestling with really painful stuff. I won't tell her story because it's not mine to share. But after we'd finished with a really good hug and cry session I jokingly said to her "So am I going to get really lucky and have you tell me you're into girls?" (That would be every dream I've ever had come true at the same moment)

She looked at me with a twinkle in her eye and said "You know it baby!" By her tone of voice she was totally joking, but I know my wife, and she couldn't have confirmed it more solidly.

After that we had the most mind blowing sex we have ever had, I mean it was straight up missionary. No toys, no funny business, just pure, plain love between soulmates, the best I have ever had.


Sorry this has been a really long post, and I know there's maybe one person on these boards who's still reading at this point, but I just needed to tell someone, everyone what happened. This is 100% the truth, undiluted, untwisted.

I feel like I'm alive for the first time in 20 years and I just need to shout it to the heavens or anyone who's listening that I'm ALIVE! I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF AGAIN!

There I go blubbering like a baby again. Gotta go get some tissues and stop crying like a girl. :)

So all you guys who are like me and lust after cock while still cherishing your wife... Don't give up hope. If you both truly love each other then there's better than even chances she already knows, and probably has for a very long time. And if you take a chance, you might just get the biggest suprise of your life.

I am SO impressed and so proud of you! That was incredibly brave. And so brave of you to tell the forum about it too. Thank you.
 
Thank you stella, it really means a lot that you took the time to reply. This was far and away the most difficult thing I have ever done. I made up my mind last night that I was going to tell her, and I've have been shaking uncontrolably all day, and sweating like its Summer in Texas..... oh wait.....
 
Wow, that was such a brave thing to do and write - and SO good to hear of a marriage where you you can have such difficult and scary conversations and come out of it still strong together. Thank you for sharing this time in your life on here, your courage is humbling. No need to be ashamed, ever.
 
That is awesome. I know first hand how hard it is.. my husband and I have had "the talk" too. Very happy for you :)
 
That was the best, most uplifting post I've read in a long time. Thank you for sharing and baring.
 
Thank you so much for sharing. It is a blessing to be paired with a loving partner such as yours (and luckily, mine). It doesn't mean life is magically easy by any means, but it certainly makes working through personal issues less scary when you have someone to share them with.
 
Oh my gosh, that is awesome! I do love a happy ending. It's amazing to me how many things I've done in my life that some would say are brave, heroic, bold, or at least very very cool. None of them compare to what you did last night.

You are my new hero. Fuck Spiderman... Dude, YOU rock!
 
Man. This is not usually my forum. Someting about your headline made me look at your post. I can only say I am inspired by your bravery. This is something that I should have done long ago and I would still maybe be married. I am not into guys, but I had things I should have shared and didn't.
Thank you for your bravery.
 
Congrats, coming out is a huge step, doing it in your situation is very difficult and usually never ends the way it did. Best wishes going forward.

big hugs

Well done to you! So glad your wife took it well!

Best,

Saphs
 
Your post made me cry and smile all at the same time! I am so proud of you for choosing honesty for both of you and telling her even though you knew what it could cost you. I am thrilled that it worked out the way it did. Thank you for sharing!
 
What a happy day for you!
I wish you and your wife all the best.

Champagne!

Wow, I could feel the weight lifting off your shoulders the more I read. You and your wife have a really strong relationship, that much is obvious.

Thanks for sharing your story, your honesty, enlightment and joy.

Awesome....

My wife and I had a similar talk years ago and it has worked out wonderfully, I have yet to do anything with another man but my wife said as long as she is there and we share, so I am looking forward to our first time. We just have not found the right situation yet but it has made our sex life so much more interesting.............congrats man, as long as you have love, trust and honesty you should be just fine.
 
Congrats

I had a similar talk with my wife though I chickened out and didn't tell her that I already have sex with men. I am bringing it up about once every month or two to see how she reacts. Her first reaction was, "well I don't want to know about it". I think she'd rather not watch.
We've talked about her low sex drive and my high drive. She knows I've always liked kinky stuff. Our sex fantasy involves talking about me sucking men and she calls me a cocksucker. Which makes my dick get harder.
I believe seeing or knowing her husband is a cocksucker might be more than she wants to deal with. BUT maybe one day she'll tell me she's ok with me cocksucking with other married guys.
You are brave and were rewarded for your bravery. You've obviously got a hellava wife too. Keep us posted.
 
I really loved reading your post. Its great to hear that not only are you feeling more honest and free with yourself, but you openly talked to about it with your other (as hard as it was). It seems that people easily forget that thier other is the one they should be able to talk to about everything.

Ya know, Ive never talked to you on the threads before, but i have no doubt that your a good man. Good luck exploring the infinate abyss :D
 
Thanks guys for all of your posts, it really means a lot to me. And thank god she hadn't changed her mind after having a chance to sleep on it! :)

Things were good today, she stayed home from work of course and I was off school today so we just hung around the house, but it was the most fun I've had in a while. We didn't even have sex, we just watched movies and baked cookies and had fun just being around each other again-for-the-first-time.

My wife I don't think is ready to take the step that I have and lay it bare but I know enough. We had the inevitable 'Second Talk' today, about our relationship and the future, and the future of our sex life. She is still dealing with trust issues, but she said that she may some day be open enough to invite someone else to share our bed, but not yet. I'm in no rush, I know that with all the other baggage I have, it's going to take years of therapy before I'm 'right' enough to open that door.

We've taken the first step, the first of many that we'll probably take but for now I think we're going to be ok.



Oh, the best part! She did confirm today that she does like girls, so that's a huge bonus, but she is not ready to explore herself quite yet. Fortunately she has taken to exploring my sexuality with a voracious appetite and she already wants to buy a strap on.
 
This was awesome to read -- I wish the two of you all the best out there!
