Hi

Hi,
I wanted to say how helpful this site has been for me since last July when I realized I was gay. It has been a hard journey, and I am really glad that I have finally joined (just took me 6 months)!

A little about me. I am pretty sure that I am lesbian or at least bi (with more attractions towards women than men), but this is something that I am still feeling out. I also know that, as much as I keep on giving myself labels, that I don't really need to.

I'm 33, and I have been married for about a year to my husband. It really has been hard because we have been together for ten years, but my relationship with him has felt more like a friendship than romantic love. I've never really been attracted to men physically. I don't notice them and don't have fantasies about them, and for a while, I think I was in heavy denial of myself until very recently. It's a long story so I won't go into details here. But anyway, I used to ignore any feelings about girls, try not to make friends with girls or get to know them well enough, and when I did have feelings come up with excuses such as "she's so sexy even a straight girl can be aroused."

Well, anyway, I wanted to say that I am glad to be able to be a part of this site. Many of the forums have been very helpful for me in coming to terms with who I am and accepting myself rather than rejecting myself.
