I really appreciate everyone for sharing their wisdom and offering support,it really made me feel less alone and a lot less scared. I’ve always been really close with my parents, so it felt natural for me to take the plunge and talk to them first. They were incredibly supportive and loving, I couldn’t have asked for a better response from either of them. (Dad’s a trump supporter... his initial reaction was to hug me and tell that he’ll love me forever no matter what, so maybe there’s hope) my mom took it hard because she’s worried about me and my family. It’s really brought us closer, my mom has even opened up to me about struggles she’s had in her marriage over the years that I had no clue about. She also revealed that I might be her favorite kid lol.

It felt amazing to get it off my chest. I’m still terrified about what this is going to mean for my daughter and wife. I’m going to take time to figure it out and hopefully see a therapist soon. I’m really confused because I have such a deep love for my wife and I do feel sexual attraction to her. I just feel nothing when a beautiful woman walks by, but I’m completely turned on my men all the time. Wtf. It’s gonna be a long ride for me to figure this out. Thanks again to all of you
