[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very good friend, we've known each other since elementary school, went thru hs together, stayed in touch thru college and we are still best friends.
I'm married and have 2 kids. He's basically their uncle.

We are 35 years old.

I have known that he's gay since end of hs/beginning of college. Everyone knows he's gay although he is not over the top and does not show off relationships a ton. He is not hiding it, yet not flaunting it.

Recently he confided in my that he "doesn't want to be gay".  He said that he has always known that he's gay, but he has never wanted to be gay.
He said that he has always dreamed of having a typical family, a wife and kids. He told me that he wants to try dating women.

I was floored, I didn't know what to say. I suggested he talk to a therapist about this to maybe weed out why he's feeling this way

He's a masculine guy, you would never guess he's gay by his demeanor or actions.
I love him, he is like a brother and want to support him, but was speechless.

What else can I say to him?

My DH revealed early on that he was bisexual. It took a long time getting use to. But I think I made it a bigger deal than he did. Similarly, he knew he wanted a wife and kids. He just also knew about his bisexuality and was pretty confident in it. But just as, if not more, confident in our relationship. [/quote]
