I had a long talk with my crush today, mostly about the breakdown of my marriage (my husband was not kind, but he wants to reconcile)....then I told her exactly why he's so upset: because he thinks I left him because I'm a lesbian (I didn't mention he knows about my crush on her). She kind of laughed at first, but then she realized I was completely serious, and not refuting the allegations at all. She was super supportive etc and thanked me for telling her. I don't get the idea that she's into me, however. Pretty sure she is completely straight. But oh well, I think I've moved past that somewhat, and we're going to be good friends. I almost didn't have the courage to do it, but I've been kind of hinting for months about this thing my ex knows about me, that I didn't want to talk about.......and then I decided it was about time to tell her. I feel so relieved and free. I've been contemplating telling her for weeks, but didn't know how. Phew. It seems to get easier the more you say it...I'm getting to a point where I don't give a damn what people think of me. I used to feel so embarrassed and ashamed. It's not something I can change. This is who I am. Just thought I'd share!
Hey congratulations that's fantastic. It does get easier to say and I think we have all been in situations where we didn't or nearly didn't go through with telling someone.
That's terrific. And very well played with your crush. I think you'll have a good support there. It certainly is liberating, and it does get easier.
