    Hi everyone.

    As I was about to turn 46, I found myself in a situation I didn't expect to be in. I am married to a man and we have two children, but I have fallen in love with a woman. I didn't want to admit my feelings but the connection between us could not be denied. I did a lot of research to find others like me and somehow found this site. I have been reading for about a month or two and am very comforted at how many people have similar stories! Thank you for sharing. I decided to join because I have no one but my A to talk to and sometimes I feel a lot of overwhelming emotions, and also because so many of your posts touched me and I wanted to be able to support you as well.

    So, hi. :smilewave

    You will be amazed at the number of people here who have had experiences so similar to yours, you will think they are writing about you. This being the holidays, consider that you have received two gifts. One, that there is a person you have fallen in love with (love being the best gift of all!) And two, that you have been brought here so people can help you on this journey. Good luck and. Best Wishes!
