I'm from Canada. I have a wife and 2 stepchildren. We're all a happy family together. My wife and I love one another very much; we're very close and we share things like spirituality, a love of nature and good food, reading and raising the children together. The children are young and we are very close.
My wife came out to me this year and was very honest about her feelings for other women. She met someone, and the other woman is a very nice person. I did not have a problem with this relationship after my wife and I had explored our feelings about it.
The difficulty I'm facing is that over the last three months or so my wife has come to the realization that she is pretty much exclusively attracted to other women, and while she has been able and willing to sexually pleasure me her heart really is not in it. To be honest that side of our relationship has always been very challenging.
I'm embarrassed to write about this but I'm at a loss and haven't found much other than this forum where I might find some way of understanding how to deal with all this. What I'd like is for all of us to be happy. There has been no deliberate deception. My wife and I would like to stay together. The sexual element, which is missing for me, makes this difficult. I'm not sure where to go from here. People seem open minded and understanding here. Anyway, that's where I am so far.
