<human>: Ok, throwaway here, but I need some advice.   I've been bi for quite a long time, but frankly I've been celebate since my wife and I got divorced.  We got divorced in 2004, but are still good friends and I still would like to do naughty things to her if the situation arose, but the important bit is we still talk and are still friends.
This is important as my daughter is 12 and lives with me full time, and we both agreed a long time ago that arguing over who did what in the marriage is pointless and just makes it hard on my daughter.

Some more background, I had my first gay experience when I was 16 with a friend of mine, and loved it, but was kind of afraid to say I loved it.  This was in a pretty redneck small town (not in the south though, just...lumberjacks).  I haven't been with a guy since then, but I the idea of being with a guy again totally gets me going and makes me happy in the naughty places.

It's been 8 years now since I got divorced, and I have had maybe 2 dates with women.  I get friendzoned easy so there's that, but I also know that I really haven't put forth the effort into it either.  I find the rejection and frustration too much to bear most of the time, as I really thought I was finally gonna have someone for life when I got married.

With all that said, I'm wondering if I would be happier if I just came out as bisexual, but I don't want that to effect my daughter in school and all, as I know middle school is rough enough without that kind of added complexity.  

So, I'm thinking of coming out to my ex wife first, and seeing what happens.  Got any advice for me reddit?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I'm 32, i'm bi in the closet, want to tell my ex wife first (who i'm still friends with), advice on this topic?
