Gay men young

18."I'm 40, and I came out nearly about a year-and-a-half ago at 38. My wife passed away in January of 2019. About five or six years prior to her passing away, I started to realize that I wasn't straight, and figured I must have been bisexual, as I would only ever fantasize about men and watch lgbtq+ porn exclusively. I was happily married with two kids. We had a normal marriage and sex life in every way. I kept my sexuality to myself, as I felt it was irrelevant and that there was nothing I could perform about it. I would never cheat on my wife, and I couldn't imagine hurting her or the kids by coming out and getting divorced. I resigned myself to holding onto this covert forever. I felt be sorry at times, because I met my wife at a young age (18), and she had been my only sexual boyfriend, and I knew that having a sexual or romantic experience with a man was something that I could never have."

Age gap relationships are more common than you may realize. In western countries:

• 1 out of every twelve male/female couples has an age gap of 10 years or more
• that number increase to 25% in male/male couples
• and 15% of female/female relationships

That same research indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more committed to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some research that points to a correlation with higher rates of divorce. Research also shows that couples with an age gap of less than ten years are happier than those with an age gap greater than ten years. You can find more details on these stats on this episode of the podcast I Love You Too, by Psychotherapist, Internet dating Coach, Couples Counselor Jessica Engle,
