Meeting men
Most cities and larger towns have specific gay bars or gay saunas where men can meet other men. These places traditionally were hard to find but are becomming more main-stream and visible. In Manchester we're very fortunate to have a thriving and famous "Gay Village" but even smaller places will have somewhere tucked away. Contacting the local Gay and Lesbian Switchboard or looking in magazines such as Gay Times can help find interesting places.
New group and website to start the new year!

Welcome to the new Gay Married Men's website
Are you a married man, or in a relationship with a woman, and have feelings towards men?

Do you want to chat and socialise in a confidential environment with other men in a similar situation to you?
Then the Married Men's Group might be for you.
I was with my wife for around eight years and whilst always knowing there was something different about my sexual orientation, I just tried to ignore it in the hope that it would go away. But it never really went away, not if I'm honest. I just became a lost person and buried myself in work.
Eventually I started feeling quite down. I'd became the least important person in my life. I couldn't have cared if I lived or died, which was so sad and unnecessary, looking back at it. Certain things happened in my life and I decided that I wanted to live a gay lifestyle - whatever that was.
I did not even know that other gay people existed outside London, never mind other married gay men. But at the time, it didn't matter. I just wanted to not feel guilty about the things I thought about. So I told her. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. There were times I didn't think I had the strength to make it as I didn't have anyone I could talk to.
I didn't know about such things as support for people like me, and didn't even think I was worthy of support. But that was 15 years ago and things are fine now. I feel like a real human being and able to take on the world as a full member of society. And that's why I got involved with the Married Men's Group: to help blokes who are in a similar situation to me all those years ago.
