I'm 28 year old female who has been in a long term relationship with a male for the past 8 years. I've always been attracted to females for as long as I can remember, my current relationship with a male doesn't feel right it doesn't feel natural and I can't force it anymore . I feel trapped we have children. I need a place where I can be me.....the person I am not the wife I have been pretending to be . I don't know where to go from here I'm still very much in the closet hiding in the dark
Being from a small town this stuff isn't talked about much nor is it accepted,I never felt I could tell anyone and my friends mostly being females I'm afraid if I try to speak up they might get the wrong message. I can't change how I feel or who I am, I accept it I am ME I was made this way I want to scream and shout and tell the world.....but I can't , or I can and choose not to? If that make any sense
hey Calica welcome here, you should first try to meet gay women, go to gay bars, explore. And if you really feel you should rather be with a woman you gotta tell your husband and your children that. I get that you are scared but it's even worse to stay trapped. Good luck !
Thanks for the welcome basically i guess im looking to chat with those who have been in a similar type situation...
Hey there, I'm a guy who's been in your situation, although I'm separated now, but still find it hard to be myself, all I really want is to meet a nice guy, or maybe a few till Mr right comes along but don't really know how to go about it, but I know how you're feeling, I think
Hello and welcome. (*hug*) There are others who are in similar situations... I'd say take your time... and if you feel you need counseling, consider a therapist... You might have a look at this thread, and similar ones: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/lgbt-later-life/151421-redesigning-life.html#8
Thank you I'll check it out been making my way through threads, seeing all the stories and posts from others I'm not alone in my journey
Thanks for telling us what you're going through. Although I have never been in your situation before just know that people are here to give you lots of advice and hugs too! *hugs* oh! Welcome to EC!
Hi Hun and welcome to EC.. I know a few people going through what you are going through, so don't feel you are alone. I hope you are able to find some answers and clarity here on this site and just enjoy yourself.. Although it is a stressful time, it is also at the same time well in my opinion, exciting to explore a new and different side of yourself you never thought existed.
