    Hi everyone,

    I'm female, 37 and this is the first time I've ever posted on a site of this nature so this is a big step for me...

    I'm married with 2 lovely children but I feel that a part of me is being suppressed. I've had attractions to female friends and other experiences in the past which have led me to feel that I am bisexual. It's difficult because I do love my husband but I've not really been attracted to him for some time and the thought of never exploring this other side of me is frankly getting me down. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it.

    I guess I'm here to give an outlet to my feelings and know that there are others out there in a similar situation to me.

    See you around the forums x

    Hello I just joined this site too, this is all very new to me but your story is very similar to mine!

    hopefully chat more soon - I know it can be lonely not having anyone to talk to about it

    Sorry for the blunt reply. I tried to add a smiley face but it didn't work!

    Hello! It's nice to meet you! I'm new here also. My story...I don't know if it's exactly similar to yours but I feel like it relates on some level. I am a little bi (I have a primary attraction to men but a little curiousity about girls that only started recently) and I also feel like on one hand it would be easier to not explore that part of me but it also makes me a little sad, the thought of that, and that feeling alone is what I didn't expect. And that's why I'm posting in threads here, so I can figure myself out a little bit.
