Hey! I'm 36 and was with my husband for 16 years, married for 10 we have 3 kids and have currently been separated for 2 yrs now. Looking back I always was attracted to women but was brought up with the expectation of getting married and having kids. So that's what I did, until 2 years ago. My marriage was never great my husband was controlling and volatile. He constantly accused me of having affairs(which I never did) and turned up anytime I'd go out without him. He belittled me and in the end isolated me from any friends and most of my family. I found myself extremely lonely and depressed so when I got back in touch with an old friend I was determined to hold on to her. We met for coffee and lunches and because very close very quickly, at this point I should probably mention that she is a lesbian and has been out for many years. Anyway we became best friends and that's all it was, at first. She helped give me the strength and support I needed to get out of my unhappy marriage. We maintained our friendship for a few months after my split but as time went by we both developed feelings for one and other and one night we decided to take the chance and see how it went. It was a huge risk to our friendship but we both decided it would be worth taking the chance. That was almost 2 years ago now and we've never been stronger or happier. So I guess I just wanted to share my story and let anyone worrying about a similar situation that it can work out for the better and you can make the change and be happy. Most of my family know about us and they have accepted it but don't like to talk about it. My friends have been great but don't really understand the challenges that come with it all, hence the reason I'm here I'm still working through a few things but I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made.
Hey welcome to EC. It's great to have a happy story on here for people to see. So many people come here when they are in a dark place that a happily ever after can give such great hope.
Hey! Thanks, I hope that my story will help anyone feeling in the dark to have a little hope. It's a hard road but things can get better and sometimes get amazing and that make all the hard time worth while x
