    Hello, I'm new and hoping to find some relief from isolation by interacting in this forum. So far it seems like a friendly community. I also needed a place to share my experience, hopefully so others can relate, offer wisdom etc. I have so many questions!

    I have a longstanding desire for and attraction to other females (since age 5, or as far back as I can remember) but I also find myself attracted to males since about age 11. I got married right out of high school, I think in part because I was afraid of dealing with my sexuality.

    I started with this coming out process a year ago by accident after a moment of lust led to recognition. A leak became a tsunami. I just couldn't deny it to myself anymore that a) I am definitely not straight and b) I created a number of problems for myself by denying my actual sexual orientation. :eusa_doh: Since then I've wrestled with internalized homophobia, identity questions, marital questions and more. I feel like I'm putting a house back together stick by stick. But it finally feels good...even if it is a little overwhelming and scary at times.

    Hey! It seems like you and I basically have the same story! I just joined here too. You can read my welcome post if you'd like for a smidgen of background on me.

    You literally just made my day with your post! It feels awesome to know I'm not the only one. I mean, I knew I wasn't the only bisexual married female in the world (obviously)... but you know what I mean!

    Let me know if you find any good reads on here or anything!
