I think I should do an intro thread if I plan on hanging around here. :icon_bigg I'm Ashley. I'm 23 years old and live in Missouri. I am currently engaged to a man and have a daughter. As you can see, I have lived a very straight life so far. My orientation says "Lesbianish" because I know I'm gay, but there's a mental block there. A huge part of that is the unknown. I know how to act straight and I don't know what it's like to just let myself be free. It's scary and I think fear makes me rethink my orientation a lot. Let's see.. I have came out before. It was amazing, but lack of support pushed be back into the closet. That was 2.5 years ago and I often wonder where I would be had I stayed out. I have came out to my fiance, but it was the same story. I chickened out and have had many failed attempts telling him since then. I've came to the conclusion that I suck at coming out. :lol: Anyway, I'm happy to be a part of the forums and can't wait to talk with some of you.
