I'm a gay male married to a woman for 21 years and bipolar. I'm finally reaching a breaking point after all this time and it's becoming a HUGE issue. Are there any guys out there who are in a similar situation that I can talk to about what I'm feeling right now? I'm hoping I'm not the only one. If so I'd rather talk privately. Thanks.

Hi bpguy, welcome to the forums. I'm not bipolar, but I'm pretty much gay and married to a woman for 18+ years. I've had some major ups and downs, physically, emotionally, sexually and I am still working through them.
If you would like to talk, you can contact me through the forums' messaging or through my link to my Yahoo account, which I get everywhere and is preferable. |

Hey Bpguy. My situation is a little like yours but in reverse. I'm bi, but in an 18 year gay relationship. And my heterosexual tendancies are pretty strong and currently raging. I'm also a sex addict so I have to admit we've had some issues. but back to the heterosexual tendancies. I clearly want a relationship with a
woman and the feelings are pretty strong. If I were in a miserable relationship, things would be easy, but I have a great relationship. But at the heart of matter, I feel I'm being denied something that is perfectly natural. Being bipolar isn't helping. There is nothing going on physically, but during a recent manic episode, I was escalating the "flirtations" with a woman I know that likes me. Any of this make sense? __________________ BP1 OCD PTSD A little ADD but the docs say it's secondary to the bipolar. Lamictal, gabapentin, wellbutrin, klonopin |

It makes sense to me. It sounds like a tough situation that I can relate to. I get hit on a lot by guys all the time and it's hard to control when you're flying high. Another member gave me some good advice. I'm working my way up to it but you have to be honest with your boyfriend. Easier said than done I know. I'm still trying to get up the courage to be honest with my wife but I'm afraid of the consequences. Our lives are so intertwined after all these years and I'm not sure I can deal with the fallout.
Good luck my friend and keep me posted if you can. Bpguy |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
