How have things turned our/progressed? I am a 75 years old man myself, longterm relationship of 46 years that ended in 2021 with the death of my husband. You are still really young, by my standards, and have a wonderful life ahead of you and this post has hooked me as a fan.

I really can't say for sure. <br /><br />My former wife has had a long-standing hatred of men starting with her father who she loathed all her life and didn't speak to for the last 25 years of his life.<br /><br />Now, the hatred towards me is entrenched after finding out that I was gay and I think she may be at risk of feeling the same way about her son.Buddy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052407067718899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-59052618313820790772013-11-07T07:20:32.075-07:002013-11-07T07:20:32.075-07:00"This sameness might also extend to our sexua..."This sameness might also extend to our sexuality"<br />If so, could that be part of the problem with his mom.

But there are plenty out gay kids at our school so I'm sure he knows some ..... it's not a big deal with his generation, at least in my school. <br /><br />In the back of my mind, I still have an idea that my son is "exactly like me." We have the same body type and dimensions (long back, broad shoulders), same voice, hair colour, sense of humour and even the same walk. <br /><br />This sameness might also extend to our sexuality. <br /><br />I want to be a role model for him, my daughters and my many gay students that a man can be gay and have a normal life with healthy relationships with men and not be some gay stereotype.<br /><br />Buddy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052407067718899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-57783402311568177252013-11-07T04:49:39.851-07:002013-11-07T04:49:39.851-07:00This is true!

For example, I would never flaunt my men friends when my kids have their friends over to the house. <br /><br />But I also need to push ahead with my own needs and wants, and live my own life. I cannot live my life in the closet because there is a possibility that my kids MIGHT uncomfortable with me being open and honest.<br /><br />I'm really certain that my kids will take everything in their stride, just like they've sailed through all my coming-out and divorce drama so far.Buddy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052407067718899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-8954765695907661622013-11-07T04:44:01.709-07:002013-11-07T04:44:01.709-07:00Funny!

These days kids are more out than my generation ever could have dreamed of being, and they have straight friends for whom a friend being gay is a simple fact of life. I'm not sure we've ever discussed his social circle but I suspect he must know young gay men.
