I like to keep you all updated, so this post is just to say I have moved out and left my partner. I am not any further “out”, and whilst everything is not perfect right now, I am relieved not to be weighed down by the relationship. Thank you to all of you that have offered insight, support and encouragement over the past three or so years, and particularly to @silverhalo and @Really - I couldn’t have done it without you. Once things have settled down, I hope to be back on EC a little more often.
You’re very welcome @LostInDaydreams but you did all the heavy lifting. I’m so glad you managed to get yourself out of that situation. Only good things now! :}
Hey @LostInDaydreams that is amazing news congratulations. You might not be completely out, but you are out and I think the hardest bits are behind you, I cant wait to hear more, when you have time.
That’s great news all your hard work will pay off and everything will come together, it just takes time, but you’re on the right path.
@LostInDaydreams so happy for you. You have many pressing issues like your child and work etc....but my experience and others I have talked to, is that once away from the hetero partner the process of self acceptance accelerates. You may find that the weight released by severing that chain allows you more space to evaluate your emotions, and allows more room to visualize what you may want your future to look like. So happy for you.
I am so pleased for you. This is a new beginning. This journey is hard, but it's still better to be able to move forwards. Well done!
Thank you all for your replies. Things are progressing OK. It's great to no longer feel weighed down by my relationship and situation. Now that I am on the other side, leaving (for the most part) feels a lot simpler than I had imagined it in my head.
Hey this is great news, it's nice to hear from you. I'm sure you have a few bumps ahead of you but none as big as those you have already overcome.
