Hello everyone

Discussion in 'The Welcome Lounge' started by words so sweet, Jun 24, 2012.

  1. Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

    I came to EC looking for a place that would offer support without having to "out" myself publicly. I still have a lot of questions that I need to work though in coming to terms with my sexuality.

    I am not out to any of my friends or family. In previous relationships with men, I have claimed to be bisexual, but as much as I sometimes wish this was true, I know in my heart that I am much more sexually attracted to women. This fact terrifies me, as I have been fighting off these desires my whole life. Trying to be with men and hiding my sexuality has caused me to be depressed and violated. I hate feeling like such a fraud.

    Now that I have come to terms with the fact that I would not be fulfilled in a relationship with a man, I know that I am doing myself a disservice by passing for a heterosexual. My ultimate goal is come out to my friends and family and eventually end up in a committed relationship with a woman.
