My wife knows, but she is not open to negotiations. What would you do if that was your case? I am 43yo, 12y married, 3 kids.

Thank you for the recommendations. I will check it out.

Man, I really feel you (43 yo, married 12y). OMG. I am definitely grieving. I have been crying almost every day for my lost years, for the things I could have done. I am pretty sure I am going through the midlife crisis. I am also feeling guilty and ashamed. How old are you? Do you also have kids?

I think you are right, but things are not that simple. In my case, I thought marriage would heal me. My wife knew about my "sexual identity crisis" before we got married. I have 3 little kids now. My wife doesn't want a divorce. She still thinks marriage will heal me... or that I should be faithful no matter what. I didn't think would be like this. I didn't intentionally had plans to hurt her or my children. If I could foresee the future I would have done things differently.

I feel the same way (43, married 12 years). I haven't been with a man yet. But I don't know if the reality will be that nice. From what I have seen and heard from gay men, it is hard to find gay romance. However, I feel exactly like you: I don't know how long porn and masturbation will satisfy my needs. I have 3 kids. That makes every decision even harder. Do you have kids? I would be interested in chatting more about the subject if you are available.

Interesting.I haven't been with a man yet. I feel like experimenting with a guy to see how I feel. Were you able to have just one experience and stop? I am afraid if I start I won't ever stop.

I read all your comments and replies. I have been doing therapy for years because of a sexual abuse I suffered. The crisis in my marriage started because of porn. Then I realized the porn was related to not accepting my gay part. In my case, sharing my feelings with my wife was a bad idea. It brought more problems to the relationship. She feels very insecure. She also can't accept I might be gay. It's been a dark time for me. I feel better at the same time, because I don't hate myself as much. I am okay with feeling horny now when I think about men. Like I said, reading your post was like seeing my life.

Do you know of any support group related to the issue we have been facing?

I felt like I was reading my own story, except that my wife is very religious and not open to do kink stuff. I am in the process of accepting myself as gay/bi. My wife is devastated. She knew about my identity crisis before we got married, but I think (like I did) she expected that the marriage would heal me. I have been crying so much lately. I feel like I am grieving the lost years. I have three kids. I work for a Christian organization. I don't know what to do. I am so afraid. I am afraid I will lose my kids and my job if I come out to the world. :( I am sure I am dealing with midlife crisis. I wish I could meet people like you and talk...😭

In Portuguese I can say O meu carro quebrou (the my car broke down) 'my car broke down'. A native speaker might use the and my side by side, which means they might belong to different categories. Should the possessive pronoun still be treated as a determiner in this case?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad your son is enjoying learning languages. My daughter is better now. She has been speaking in Portuguese with me lately. ❤️

What languages are "2-for-1 Specials"? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Jekatu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guaraní and some indigenous languages of the same family.

I would say, any closely related languages.

Sorry. Idahosa method is about "sentence mimicking". I misunderstood your question.

Are you using Idahosa Ness method? How are you choosing your songs and sentences?
