Hi, I'm new here. In fact I only came across these forums today in a desperate search the express myself, find like-minded friends and possibly some answers. I'm trapped, or feel that way, in a long term (20years) heterosexual relationship with an older man. I realised my attractions to women about 12 years ago and have been battling with my feelings ever since. The combination of this and the living situation I am in as lead to depression and now therapy. I guess I'm too shy to ask any questions just now and this is just a short introduction to my situation and also for me to get a feel for these forums. Anyway, thank you for reading.

I'm 46 and when I was 23 I married my boyfriend after graduating from college. We were married for two years when I finally came to the realization I was living a lie. It was extremely difficult to leave as we had been together for years and I considered him my best friend. But I knew deep down it was the right thing. A year later I fell in love with the woman of my dreams. We have been together and now married for the last 20 years and have a daughter together. As you can see you and I have quite a similar path. I just made my course correction at the beginning but it's never too late. Ultimately you have to be happy with what ever course you choose in life.
