Would like some advice

Hello,

Can use the wisdom of others or just people to talk to. I've been married for 17 years (with my husband for 25 years total). I've known I was attracted to women since college when I had my first mad crush. I was raised catholic and like some Catholics my family was full of contradictions. So I kept my feelings to myself. Crush after crush through the years till I finally met a woman I could not hide it with anymore. She and I have made out but both are in relationships (her with a woman) and we want to be faithful to our partners. We have agreed to stay friends but keep our distance.

I have come out to my husband and he's supportive for the most part. He's ok if I want to go to LGBTQ events and even if I want to make out with an occasional woman. I have come out to a few friends (like 5). My husband and I work at the same place and are part of a small community. If I come out to more people it can get sticky. But I am torn. Part of me wants to be OUT and proud! Another rather just share it only with close friends.

So here might be the only safe place for me (other than my other friends who, btw, are a mixture of straight, gay and trans). I would love to just be able to talk. I'm not interested in hooking up just meeting others like me.
