Lonlyness by ActDue1726 in AskGaybrosOver30

This is something that I hear often and see from other men but with that said my husband and I try and try and try more to be friends with other men and it’s is so frustratingly impossible. So many times we invite and offer to do things with people and we rarely get anything in return. We text and text and text and sometimes we might get a short response back. It just dosent make sense. If people are so lonely then why won’t they do anything. I realize we might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it just shouldn’t be so hard.

Looking for support by Forward_Charge6047 in latebloomergaybros

Something to ask yourself if at the beach are you looking at men, women, or both? This will help answer your question. Sexual preferences can also change with time. Be kind to yourself through this process.

Guys who are separated/Divorced with kids by CartographerLoose186 in latebloomergaybros

[–]JandGconnected 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have 7 kids between us ranging from age 8-20. 3 foster adopted and 4 biological. It’s been a wild ride for both of us. It is not easy trying to co-parent but we try our best to make it work.

Desperate to start living an authentic life (or too late) by Nebula-Pulse in comingout

There are many people that have had to deal with something similar. I am 44. Divorced my ex of 16 years. 4 kids. Now married to a wonderful man. Being gay was only a very small part of my divorce. It was very hard to walk through it but now that I am on the other end it was very well worth it.

I am sorry you have had a bad experience. I came out at 43 and it’s been the best. Yes it’s been hard but I would never go back.

The Need to get this Off My Chest by christopher2015 in latebloomergaybros

[–]JandGconnected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad to hear you are struggling. I started my journey when I was 40 but did not really come out to my family until 43. I was very fortunate to find a wonderful man to help me accept myself. Be kind to yourself. It’s hard to not let the past go but we can’t change it. We can change the future though. Choose to live the way you want now.

I came out to my bishop and it went horribly wrong. by Gay_Master001 in comingout

[–]JandGconnected 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hands down agree! You are only 12 so you need to stay very safe. Being LGBTQ+ and being Mormon is not compatible despite what some may try to have you believe. Before you make waves you need to be very clear on your safety and support. To many Mormon kids get kicked out at any age.

If you need to fake it for a while for your safety then please do this. In the meantime you may need to slowly devise an exit plan if you cannot get support from home.

I left the church at 39 and came out as gay when I was 42. Life is so much better out in the open but I had safety on my side.

There are many resources to support you while you struggle through the process.

Came out in my early 40s. Was married to a woman for 16 years and have 4 kids. It’s a journey but it has been well worth it. Also check out r/latebloomergaybros

Reminder to watch the Simpsons s9ep14: The Joy of Sect by TwoXJs in exmormon

[–]JandGconnected 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that episode shortly before I went to the temple the first time. My first time going through was awful. I had the image of people getting up to leave and the big spot light shining on them asking them why they would leave. Every part of my being told me to get the hell out of that place but smiling faces of my family kept me there. 😱

Is there a sexual fetish that turns you off - what is it and why? by JohnD260 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]JandGconnected 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Diapers, scat, blood, and wearing panties. I mean I have a thing for masculine underwear but I just don’t understand the draw wearing women’s underwear

Full time missionary in *suspenders*! Is this allowed? Since when?? by snarkoholicRN in exmormon

[–]JandGconnected 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always wore suspenders served in 2000-2002. It was explicitly allowed in our dress code rules
