42. I've had a few days to think about this and talk with my partner.

I never thought I was 100% straight. I had attractions both ways but went the heterosexual route. And I don't regret that. My life is changing so much right now as far as my insecure employment and taking care of elderly parents that my head is spinning. This person has been a great friend, someone I love, for over 20 years. We are just adding the lovemaking. Everything else is the same. Makes us closer. Relaxes me. The only thing different is the physical part. And that is no big deal to me at this point. I like sex, but at 57, friendship, loyalty and love come first.
