Hello there! A friend of mine told me about EC a couple nights ago and I'm so glad that she did! I am a married to a man mother of two who came out as queer later in life. I've come to realize that lesbian is my true identity at this point. I'm not convinced that orientation is static because I certainly wasn't lying before and I have had a wonderful relationship with an amazing man. It just doesn't fit any more. That's where my struggle begins and so I am here. I need to move forward with my life in a way that is authentic but I do not want to destroy my family or hurt the people I love. For now, that means an open marriage but I'm not convinced it will stay that way. I am looking for some support as I work through my own guilt and people pleasing tendencies to get to what I actually need. That is my current challenge.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but am happy you found your way to this site where there are so many resources and friends to be made. I hope that you find the support that you are looking for and know that I am always around to talk if you need to. c: Welcome to EC!
