Hi, I'm new here and I'm in that crappy predicament where you only accept you're gay after you're already married. Yay! So yes, I am a female married to a wonderful man and he has actually helped me accept the fact that I am 100% gay/lesbian (I prefer "gay" but what have you...) He's great and understanding and NO I am not fooling around while married or anything. I'm actually pretty old fashioned and will wait until properly separated/divorced before moving forward in that area... but it's still difficult as we are very bonded and I love him dearly - just not in the way I could love a woman. So I get to feel like a complete jerkbag for not realizing this sooner and hurting him and myself - but I am glad her is so understanding nonetheless. And no, I am not bi - not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's not my orientation. So yeah, that's my "awesome" situation.:rolle: Still, even though it's going to be a hard road, I am trying to stay optimistic and looking forward to the future. Someday, in the distant future - I hope to have a REAL wedding, which means walking down the aisle with the WOMAN of my dreams. I was referred here and I'm very glad to be here. Pleased to meet you all.
It must have been difficult, but I'm glad he was understanding! Welcome, I'm sure you'll continue to be happy here!
Welcome! You are SO not alone in your situation here. Check out the area: coming out later in life. So many friends there describing being in long term marriages with kids before fully realizing or coming to terms with their sexuality. You will meet some awesome people here. Post a thread. Be vulnerable. It will amaze you.
Thanks so much, everyone! I really appreciate the welcoming and support! I will definitely check out the coming out later in life area too!
