I just found out my husband is bi curious, is this a normal thing at the age of 60, or should I move on? We have been together for 40yrs.

Whether or not bisexuality is "normal" is irrelevant to your situation. For bisexuals, it is normal... for others ... it is not.

Are you happy in your marriage? 40 years is a long time.. Have you talked to him about how you feel?

That is a shock after 40 years of marriage. Does he plan on meeting men & having a relationship, or is he just going to day dream? My response would be dependent on that. If he is not going to follow his impulses & remain faithful to you, then I would probably be OK, but if he is off fooling around, I'm gone. I won't tolerate fooling around from a partner no matter who he wants to see ( male or female)

Y'all have a lot to talk about.

After 40 years, that part should be easy.

How did you "find out"?

This might have been something that he's been feeling/thinking about his entire life, not just at the age of 60. Admitting it to you shows trust, which is good. Does he want to explore this, or is he merely being honest with you?

Contemplating on leaving your husband of 40 years because he's "curious" isnt normal.

And? What was on this phone?

^^^^^This. He probably has had these thought for a long time, and has either waited to act on them, or has acted on them before, and just got caught now.
