    Hi,I'm new here,finally found courage to introduce myself. It's weird how after 10 years of straight marriage I eventually came to realize that this is not who I am and that I've ignored the real me for too long,desperately trying to fit in into society's "norm". Well, here I am, a loner,a bookworm, a feminist, who distanced herself from her heart hoping that somehow it will be okay. Well,it was not. Marriage had and still has a lot of abusive features,and I'm juggling my life as a puzzle trying to put it together right this time. Thank you for this safe place. Thank you for your time reading this.

    Welcome to EC! You are among people who get your struggle. I've come out of the closet after 20 years of marriage 4 months ago. There are many other married men and women here, so know that you are definitely not alone.

    Cheers to you! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:
