Hi I'm a lesbian married to a man...the irony

Welcome to EC! I'm not in a similar situation, but I saw you didn't have any replies yet... so, best of luck on your journey!

 

I've been you for the past few years. And have been trying to work up to telling my husband for the past few years. Last month, he left me because, obviously our relationship hasn't been great. We've been married for 20 years and to be honest, if he took me back tomorrow I would probably welcome him with open arms. After 20 years it's so hard to let someone go, I really feel like I will always love him dearly. We're still good friends. But I also think we would both be better off if that didn't happen, even if it hurts me to say it. I wish you luck!

Hey Crush. Welcome to EC! I'm not in the same situation as you however I am sure you will find plenty of people to talk to.

You will also find friendship and support here

 

Hi! I am in a similar situation. There are a lot of others here that have been or are in the same boat as well.

 

Hello! I am on the same boat! Welcome to the EC community! I'm brand new on here as well so I'm hoping we both find support and answers!

 

Hi Crush,
I too am in the same situation, been married over 20 years and of late all I think of are women.
It's always been there I've never actually acted on it, but I'm getting to the point I can't ignore it any longer!
I hope you find what you're looking for. X

 

Hi,
I'm in that same boat too. I've always appreciated, or admired women way more than men, but not until a couple of months ago did I realize the extent of my repressed sexuality. I was knocked over by my feelings for another woman - couldn't get her out of my head, and began to realize that my "admiration" was genuine interest in being with women completely. A small issue with that is that I am in a long time marriage to a nice guy, but I no longer have any desire to be with him sexually. Now what?

So, I'm here, trying to understand myself fully to try to figure out how to live the rest of my life. This forum helps to at least understand that you are not alone - and that in itself helps to manage the stress.

Welcome to EC.

 

I am about to introduce myself, but I wanted to say that I am in a very similar boat. I'm sorry, because I know how hard it is.
