    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 :slight_smile: (!)

    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 :slight_smile:
    Really has put a spring in my step :slight_smile:
    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.
