I am in agony with longing. My DM and I are seniors with a 15-year age gap. I am a straight woman, older but fit and healthy and he, even though younger, has some health issues, but fixable. We live far apart and met on an online Grief group 2 years ago and immediately recognized our bond, with him saying he knew we were Twin Flames from our first communication. We both lost husbands of many decades with parallel marriages. We have exchanged thousands of long daily emails, endless texts, phone calls and frequent zoom calls lasting many hours. We are literally the definition of Twin Flames. He has visited me once. We have faced how our marriages were deeply troubled. We gave, they took. We were their health caregivers for decades. My DM is rock solid in telling me daily how he loves me, how he finds me beautiful and how he has never loved anyone this way before. I am the anxious type, he is the avoidant type, so he shows his emotions slowly over time. But there is a glitch: He has never been with a woman and says he is 100% gay. But he sends me romantic emojis every day. He acknowledges past life sexual encounters with me. He is very stubborn, but I have seen him change completely on important topics over time, so is it possible he may change on a physical relationship with me, even if it’s only cuddling? He is a deeply loyal, kind and thoughtful man. He remembers every detail of my life, as I do his. He is the Love I have missed all my life. What should I do? Is there any hope for us to at least sleep in each other’s arms?
There have been documented cases of changes in the sexual orientation of individuals as they age. Scientists have actually named this phenomena, “sexual fluidity”.
As far as I know, the most common and prevalent change in men is the opposite of your situation @Breathe. Some men choose to start a homosexual relationship, after experiencing a heterosexual one for a long period of time.
However, given how your twin flame has experienced a homosexual relationship in the past, it could be that they are open to exploring a heterosexual one. It’s certainly wouldn’t be “impossible”, so don’t give up hope. Only time will tell I guess.
I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but like any relationship, give it time and space to naturally mature and evolve.
I know it’s not exactly a comforting thought after you reach a certain age, since we all have to face our inevitable mortality, but it does give you something to keep going for, and look forward to. 
Let us know how it goes. And many blessings to you @Breathe!
Thank you, Scorpio, for the comforting words. Yes, it does give me something to keep going for. I have never felt such deep agony in my life because he has shown me more and more how much he loves me, and oddly this makes it harder to deal with. He knows we are Twin Flames and affirms it all the time, he tells me a million different ways how he has never loved anyone this way. I just want to hold him. That’s all. The longing is unbearable. Thank you again for your encouraging words. Blessings.
This is beautiful. You guys are definitely twins, no doubt about it. It’s juicy honestly haha. Wish you guys the best of luck.
Thank you for the good wishes. This man is the most attentive, loyal and consistent man I have ever known. He says he knew we were Twin Flames the moment we met online. There is nothing stopping him from coming here to live with me (he hates where he lives and loves my place) but he is the definition of an Avoidant and the push/pull is killing me. How does anyone endure this horrible pain indefinitely? I have never felt anything this deeply in my life.
