I should add that we haven't started any of that yet, I was just doing research. Like with you, things are amicable so far but I worry that once...
I was lucky to see a retired family lawyer who volunteers locally to give advice. Some things she mentioned were that the first step is a full...
If you're after research, have you come across Lisa Diamond? This lecture sums up her book, I think. [MEDIA] (Around 38 minutes in she talks about...
I might choose 'other' to mean 'I honestly don't know'. As a sort of non-label rather than having a particular other label in mind.
To answer your questions, yes, I think I do know it. And I don't do anything about it, just observe it and let it pass because I find it does...
As it happens, I went to a meetup yesterday (not LGBT) and there was a woman who very much reminded me of the catalyst. It was quite uncanny - the...
Yes, the Catalyst. I didn't know she was my type until I met her (well, didn't even know I liked women) but since then I look for her in everyone....
I wonder if that really is what she meant. Might be worth asking her to clarify. I guess it depends what sort of therapy you are in. It might be...
Then love comes, like a sudden flight of birds... that's beautiful. Very happy for you, Peterpangirl! :)

That is an interesting question. And I get what you say in your thread about heresy. It's good to be open to all sorts of answers and see one's...
Rana, I think you're not missing much with the dating sites. Face to face seems so much better. But I've kept my profile on there and if someone...
Best of luck to everyone with their goals! I'd like to finish my studies and start making money in my new chosen field, at least as a step towards...
It does seem like an important realization and I'm really happy for you. But please don't be too harsh on yourself. The questioning is not just an...
@Chip thank you for explaining at length. I think I understand your point of view. Given the power dynamic in large age gap relationships that...
@Chip I'm not quite following, what do you mean about the 8+ decades? As in compared to studies of homosexuality? I was honestly not aware my...
An interesting thread. The passions stirred by the 'unnaturalness' of such a relationship remind me of discussions surrounding homosexuality. Or...
I'm in a different situation but asking similar questions. I always thought I was straight until my late 30s. Some time after my marriage (to a...
