I have begin to feel I have gay tendencies
Question: I have begin to feel I have gay tendencies. I am a 32 years male and have always been straight and intimate with my wife. Lately I feel attracted to a male co-worker in a special way. I often spend time with him talking and having coffee. I feel like touching his hand and he also enjoys it. He has told me that he is a bisexual. What do I do?
Answer: It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge and confront these feelings, and I commend you for reaching out for advice. It’s important to remember that sexuality is a complex and fluid aspect of our identities, and it’s normal to have questions and explore different aspects of your sexuality over time.
It’s understandable that you might feel confused and uncertain about these new feelings, especially since they seem to be directed towards someone you work with. However, it’s important to take time to reflect on what these feelings mean to you and what you want to do about them.
If you feel comfortable, you might consider talking to your co-worker about your feelings and asking for his perspective. It’s important to approach the conversation with respect and sensitivity, and to make sure that he is comfortable with the discussion. Keep in mind that he may not feel the same way as you, and it’s important to respect his boundaries and wishes.
It’s also important to consider how your wife might feel if you decide to explore these feelings further. Open and honest communication is key in any relationship, and it’s important to prioritize your partner’s feelings and needs.
Ultimately, it’s important to prioritize your own emotional and mental well-being as you navigate these new feelings. You might consider seeking the help of a therapist or counselor who can provide guidance and support as you explore your sexuality.
Remember, there is no right or wrong way to experience your sexuality, and it’s important to be true to yourself and your feelings.
