    Hello after being in massive denial for 25+ years, I came out to my family and ex-boyfriend. Surprisingly, everyone already knew except me! It's been a lot to process, I'm fairly alone in the gay community, and still reeling from all this. Any advice for someone new like me? I'm a very active, athletic, feminine lesbian with years of lost time to make up for

    Right on! It's difficult :/ especially when you do care about your former hetero partner. I "love" mine, but as a friend. Congrats to you!!!

    It is very difficult. Especially because i know he is hurting. And now we need to separate and all the stress and emotions that come along with that. I don't have much advice for you, but I always offer a listening ear

    Hi and welcome to EC. :slight_smile: Glad to have you here! I advice you to visit the Support Area of the Forum, and make a post in Sexual and Romantic Orientation or possibly LGBT Later in Life.

    See you around! xo
