I found out my husband was having sex with a man. He is very confused and doesn’t know if he is straight and just curious, bisexual or gay. He says he loves me and we have been married 25 years. He just started therapy but has no idea how to explore and fugure out his sexual identity. He suggested dating men but there has to be other ways?

Thank you all, this is very new and i appreciate the reality checks. It is crushing and confusing. I shared my feelings with him tonight and it gave him a panic attack and i ended up having to take care of him. He is a confused mess and I feel like there is no space for me — I “overprocess” and as soon as he sees my pain he cannot handle it and falls apart. Meanwhile, i am in pain and then feel like the guilty party for bringing on his panic attack. I can’t brearhe.

my husband is in a midlife crisis as well, and I found out he was having sex with a man - he says he is confused if he is bi or gay -- he's only paid for sex. He suggested dating, which is am unsure of. We love each other, been married 25 years. This was out of left field for me. I want to be supportive of his exploration and be who he is meant to be. But is dating going to help him figure this out?
