    So true! I was afraid that discovering my sexuality would be just like all the other things I explored to try to find some level of peace: diet, exercise, education, dressing to fit in with the group, jobs etc. All of those led back to that greyness. Not this time! It's been a while that I feel more peaceful, and even when the stuff I'm dealing with is hard/frustrating/sad, that peacefulness persists. It is wonderful... makes me antsy to hurry up and move forward. :slight_smile:

    Yes - a relationship with a woman would 'prove' I was not gay. Eventually though something would happen to end the charade. I remember one time a girlfriend was giving oral sex, I remember being jealous of her.

    With men though I have some shame, it's different i can see and feel myself initiating, romancing, making love.. my heart trembles at the thought of looking into the eyes of guy and saying I love you...

    So happy for you!.
