    Re: My Wife is Gay but Still Attracted to ME

    Hi ILMGW

    Just jumping in here to offer a quick work of support. It truly doesn't matter what her orientation is as long as you two are happy and your needs are satisfied. A lot of people on this forum are stuck in a pain of betrayal that had everything to do with individuals they were with - and not their sexualities.

    The decision to sexually explore is potentially risky, bit my bi husband and I went the same way - we both tried dating outside our married - both unsuccessfully. For him it helped to take the edge off the matter - once something is not forbidden, you tend to want it less. For me it gave me confidence that he is choosing me, not staying for convenience or lack of options. Also, dating straight men these days really suck.

    Good luck with your journey! Sounds like you're navigating it well. Check out www.morandmore.org if you haven't yet.
