    Hi all,

    I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm one of those who took a while to get the message ... I've spent over 30 years telling myself that I can't be attracted to other women despite evidence to the contrary. I've finally admitted it to myself, but haven't really come out of any closets. My main concern is that I've been suppressing it so much that it's made it difficult for me to retain friendships with other women, so I'm mostly just looking to accept this part of myself and stop feeling so afraid about it.

    I've mentioned something to my husband, but I don't really have plans to experiment or anything like that. I'd prefer to remain married right now.
