>>82136931>would essentially just torture everyone involvedI can agree with you here. More pain for others, especially his kids, who knew.
>It seems easier to just be alone.I understand how you can come to that conclusion anon. To want to avoid all of the painful stigmas and shame. Maybe I cant convince you, but try to imagine a scenario where you are with someone who has dealt with the same thoughts, doesnt judge you, who you can feel relaxed with and maybe share something intimate with without shame. I know that might sound like something completely divorced from your current reality and state of mind.
Maybe you wouldnt necessarily have to be openly gay, as in, coming out to people, going to gay bars, pride parades, etc normie ish stuff like that. A lot of people dont really resonate with that sort of openness either. You deserve to feel loved and safe and connected with someone who feels the same way anon. You arent dirty or bad for wanting connection that might be different from most others.
