Hello, I'm 40 years old. I have this sexual disorientation that I'm homosexual. Nobody around me knows about it. Though I never wanted to be a gay and have always tried to get rid of it. I always felt bad about it and though occasionally I had sex, I never had been in a relationship. Partly because this is something that is not acceptable in my society but mostly because I think of having my kids and family. A year ago I lost my mother, who was almost everything to me and after her death I felt very alone and depressed.
As a solution I thought to give a try to be in a relationship and got married. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disaster. we just couldn't spend even few months together. Sex was always been problem for me with her though I was caring and tried to make up for this deficiency of mine in other ways, it didn't work. We are separated now. I feel so sorry about myself.
I'm a pre-diabetic now and extremely depressed with the failure. I thought things might work out they didn't. Everyday seems like there is nothing left for me to do and probably the life should end. I'm not suicidal because I do not think that committing that would be any solution. At my age now, I feel extremely lonely. Everyone around me is married or have someone, but I have no one. I have been living alone for a long time but now it all seems so unbearable. My father lives in other town. We had not been kind of friendly with each other. Though I sometimes think of him. and think that if I start living with him that might help me tackle this depression a bit.
I'm totally clueless about my future, if there is any. Please do not say that I will always be a gay because I really want to be a straight and I really want to have a family. Help me out please.

You have an amazing story even though it is filled with some heartache. Your life journey, good and bad, has gotten you to your 40s. I believe your sexual orientation is yours to choose. So no one can speak on that or give you guidance but you. The emotional reactions to your life experiences can be supported with close friends, doctors, and family.
Making clear and specific choices about who will be your foundation is important right now. When I made it to my 40s, I started being very open about my struggles with suicide, depression and anxiety. No one could have imagined. But now that close circle is great to have. Not all friends stayed and not all family members chose to be there for me.
I am alone. I can't maintain a relationship with a man. My disorder makes it to hard. But I am thankful for the friends and family that reach out to me and I to them. If a relationship is what you need and desire, then laws of attraction are in your favor

Keep moving forward. That alone keeps your odds high. Best to you on your presence in life.
