A Personal One

As some of you know I care and love someone terribly much (about a year now), but there are several personal issues that makes the situation terribly difficult.
Problem is (I wrote about that before) I am married for 29 years now and love my family a lot. I always have hidden my gay feelings but those feelings come up more and more. It is in my head every day but I miss the courage to take action cause of being insecure about it a lot (also caused by my age I guess). I really want to do something about it but that's a process that takes a lot of time. Weak of me perhaps but that's how it is. Consequences like job, family, friends, house and also financial issues (which I consider as less important btw) makes it not easy. I hate myself for being not able making decisions.
Other point between the two of us is distance. He lives in Brazil and we never met in real. It was planned to let this happen this year. I know you might think it's just internet but be sure we both we were aware of that a lot and that doesn't make feelings different from what they are.

Last Friday when I was talking with my dear friend I noticed his moods were going up and down about the two of us and I could not reply on questions about when I would be able to make decisions. I suggested it perhaps would be better to end our relationship to let him free and avoid giving him hope about something that might last a lot of time. It might look like an easy decision but that is not what it was. I hurt him a lot with it (I knew that off course) and that's something he don't deserve at all. I wish I could have act different but I see no solution for our problems in the near future.
Problem is my feelings didn't changed at all and I still love him very much. My feelings are hurt as well by making that decision and I feel broken about it a lot. That sounds weird perhaps but ending up with someone you love a lot is such a hard decision. He gave me feelings I never had before and I will always carry them with me. I really wish I was able to make another decision. Hurting him this way is something that makes me hate myself so much, he is the sweetest sensitive guy I ever met.

Stringing along a gay lover is no different than a man stringing along a woman (or a woman a man). It is hurtful because it is about self-gratification, not about love or the other person. I'm sorry my reply sounds so harsh. I have not stopped by in many months, and then I say something that you might find hurtful. That is not my intention. I am being honest. I don't think ill of you. It's not like I haven't been guilty of this too.

These things happen to straight men, too. I was married (twice), and often felt in love with other women. Fortunately, I never was "unfaithful", physically (just mentally). Your gay friends here should be helpful. But I think you should break up with your Brazillian soulmate and continue your marriage. You're how old?

You need to come out .If not this will effect your health issues.
Took me awhile and came out to my family.I felt a lot better and not guilty .Although not married as long that you are now,but you have to make the step.Your children are much older and have their own live.
You are very unfair to yourself and the person that you supposedly loved.
Need to to something fast.If you need guidance then seek it.
Good luck.

I have always believed that the coming out process is something that only each individual can sort out the timeline for. While I do think it is better, in the long run, to be honest with ourselves and those around us, the points you have highlighted as meking it difficult are things we are all concerned with as we make our own choices.

It sounds like you made the choice you had to. It was not an easy thing to do because I know it must have hurt a great deal. Just know that we are thinking about you and sending our love.

Maybe it will be helpful to talk to Martin's friends. They have been where you are.

'he is the sweetest sensitive guy I ever met.' Well, I thought I was!!!
Okay I was just trying to get you to smile. I have many thoughts on your post but would rather answer it in an e-mail.
I am proud that you have 'come out' loud and clear in your blog but that is only the first step. I really wish you would talk to Allen or happy 2 married guys one who left his wife the other who is still with his and she doesn't know.
Will talk to you later.
