I am not really sure about all this confusion I'm facing at this point in my life, but I might as well start somewhere and try to figure it all out. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am currently "confused" in what is going on in my life. I have always been attracted to women and men. I have been with both. I have been married and divorced (to a man) and I am currently dating a woman. My kids are in their early teens and we are very open in our communication. I am glad I found this site and I am hoping for some insight and general thoughts? I don't know what I identify with except being a person. I have never liked labels and maybe that's because I harbor a fear of being labeled? But I know I'm confused and looking for some direction and answers. I don't have any really close family to come out to, I have told my children. I have told a few friends. I just don't know if I am finding my path? At the end of the day, I am raising kids on my own and making it work... Or am I?
Thank you all for the warm welcome. It's really more like I'm trying to figure out where I fit. Am I a lesbian? Am I a straight woman who sleeps with women? I really don't know? Maybe that's why I struggle with labels? My girlfriend thinks I've been in denial all my life and my male friends think I just enjoy sleeping with women. My female friends think i am just looking for companionship. But it's more than the physical relationships that I think identify people. I'm hoping through this experience, I can figure it out.
Hey welcome to EC. Firstly I would like to say straight women dont sleep with women, not repeatedly and if they did they wouldnt enjoy it. Have you thought about just identifying as not straight? I dont think it matters what you label yourself, as long as you are happy in your life, if you want a label go with whatever fits best at the time. You can always revise it later.
