I (45m) Been with wife (48f) for 24 years, we have two children together. She has always known I had a relationship with a guy before I was with her. Following a very serious health scare a few years ago my life hasn’t felt the same and I’ve had to reset my thinking on a number of issues.
Behind her back, I started hooking up with guys for a bit more fun and to explore that side of me - mostly I loved it (aside from a bad experience which it seems is par for the course). Always felt really bad afterwards for going behind her back and also for being “that kind of person” who I never expected to be. I lasted 22/23 years without this. Why now did I feel I had to be so selfish.
I missed a parking fine which she opened, I had no further explanation so came clean about the whole thing. Agreed with everything she said about lying and the mistrust and about being selfish etc.
Then, she told me off for not telling her so we could have some fun with it together.
