So I came out to myself and a few in August of last year ... Since then I've been allowing myself to just become a gay women slowly and not done anything socially ... Until this wk end I went to stay with a friend I've made - we met through a recovery group and have regular contact on the phone re recovery ... So I went to stay with her this wk end and to my delight we got on really well She came out in her mid yrs too:.. We have a lot in common, chatted away with ease and she said how easy it was to have me in her home and I felt the same ... There was a lovely balance between us it felt very healthy We hugged and it was nice I'm in no rush to start anything Though I was very happy when she said I am welcome to stay anytime and I was sad to leave So just wanted to share my good news and that even though it has been tough leaving 4 yr hetro relationship and all the ones before it feels so good and right to be standing in the truth that I am a gay women (!)
So pleased for you. I too have made a new friend I love spending time with, and am wondering where, if anywhere, we go from here. Unlike you, I am very impatient to start discovering the answer.
Thank you Really has put a spring in my step We have so much in common I liked holding the door open for her and we took it in turns to make each other dinner -- I feel I want to be there for her but it feels different than my previous hetro relationships where I felt like a mother Land girl - do you get any sign she wants to carry things further or is it b early days ? Will you let her know how u feel ?
Hi ConsciousRose42, I've already indicated to her that I would like to take things further, but she is holding back because she feels it's too soon, and says I'm not ready.
I think when she says I'm not ready, what she really means is that she thinks I haven't severed the links with my husband completely enough yet for her to feel comfortable that I won't go back to him.
