There must be a whirlwind of emotions...it’s a lot to process, &amp; there’s a lot to think about...</P> <P>I have an offline friend who struggled with his sexuality for years. The circumstances were different to yours though. He had a couple of relationships with women before committing to a man, &amp; they’re happily together now in a long-term relationship <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>I realise it’s a very tricky &amp; emotional situation for you. There are no right or wrong decisions, but I suppose it’s about doing what works for your situation &amp; doing what you feel comfortable doing...</P> <P>Feel free to write in any time to offload your feelings, chat or connect. There’s no pressure to write of course, but just know that this is a safe space for you <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>Thinking of you...I know you’re going through a rough time.</P> <P>Kindness &amp; care,</P> <P>Pepper</P> <P> </P> Sun, 24 May 2020 07:40:04 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/in-a-long-term-relationship-with-a-male-feeling-that-i-m-a/m-p/443243#M33961 Peppermintbach 2020-05-24T07:40:04Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/in-a-long-term-relationship-with-a-male-feeling-that-i-m-a/m-p/443244#M33962 theres an lgbt board down in the "people like me section". sexuality and gender identity. i think i've seen folks with that story before you would probably have better luck there Sun, 24 May 2020 09:32:12 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/in-a-long-term-relationship-with-a-male-feeling-that-i-m-a/m-p/443244#M33962 eight 2020-05-24T09:32:12Z
