    i am not bi but i can see the confusion however the OP use the word gay to that effect

    you can realise yourself later on that you will prefer a gay relationship but the intitial feeling was always there.

    there is a big stage from having gay/bi feeling, releasing that you are gay or bi and then acting upon it .

    but the feeling was and is still there, you sexually attracted to the same sex or both sex.

    however i think the case of OP is more infatuation rather than love .

    If you are in a happy marriage and don't want to cheat or split up, then why does it matter? You are allowed to fancy other folk while married so long as you don't actually do anything. It's like window shopping.

    As Tia says, if you're in a relationship you shouldn't be straying. Think of your child and don't try things which could damage their future.
    It's normal to fancy other people but if you're in a relationship you don't do anything about it .
    Being gay or not doesn't come into it you've made a commitment to someone.

    Destroying your family for a bit of curiosity is never a good idea.
    You say you love your wife and you are happy, being attracted to others is part of life and perfectly normal, whatever gender, but a fantasy should be just that, kept in your head.
    It's bit late now to start wondering, if you have always been curious then you should have tested the waters before settling down - don't kid yourself that it wouldn't really be "cheating" if you had a sexual encounter with another man, infidelity is infidelity regardless.

    Rodrigoz features and looks are very feminine , do you just fancy men that look a bit liek women?............Or would you fancy a sweaty, hairy smelly man?

    I am 30, female, married with a baby and I think I think loads of women are attractive and gorgeous. And I'm not gay, i just don't want to have sex with them.

    Maybe the OP is just "happy" watching BB?
