Thanks you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I also have children, and that is another reason we are trying so hard. The thought of...
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry you're heading toward a dark place. That's what I'm afraid of....it's going well right now, but there are...
Any experiences from people who chose to stay married to their hetero partner after coming out as gay? It's been a long road, and we nearly...
This applied to me as well. I didn't admit I was attracted to women until I had already married a man. So when I came out to myself, I thought I...
Exactly! I forgot about this. I was content to feel that someone found me sexy enough to fuck, and it didn't matter whether I was sexually...
I'm sure everyone has their own cocktail of reasons. For me, I believe hetero-normativity made it so I didn't consider it an option, and because...
I doubt it. I graduated from HS in 2004, so it's not too different today. My reasons for not accepting myself back then were all religious and...
Hell yes you have the right! The battle that you fought within yourself to get you to this point IS fighting for LGBT rights. You came out! That's...
For me, I couldn't lie to my husband. I didn't feel it was fair to him. Why should I get so much more time to deal with our life falling apart and...

I can't end my marriage. I want my husband to be happy, I want the best for him! I know that it will be easier if I rip the bandaid off and let...
Wow. That was unreal. Her emotional journey and logic (or lack of logic, really) follows the exact same path as mine. Thanks for sharing. I...
Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. I'm in a place right now where I'm not so certain leaving my marriage is the right next step. My...
I was about to post this same thing...
I love this place, and I'm so grateful for all of the support I've received here. BUT, I really need to find a place where I can read about those...
Before coming out: They are the devils work. When SSM was legalized in any state, my mom would say the devil was moving in. It's a choice, it's a...
In this quote, the main character isn't actually saying that a book, roof, or a coffee will make you happy. It is the gratefulness that she feels...
For those married to a straight spouse: If your spouse wanted to remain with you, and open the marriage for you to have a girlfriend/boyfriend,...
Basically all of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn "The world was hers for the reading." “People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought...
You could just as easily ask any straight person why they want to get married? What's so important about the word "married" to them?
