hi. I am looking for some advice. I’m 42 and started my first lesbian relationship 18 months ago. I have always been attracted to women but never done anything about it. The person I was with was openly gay and was happy to start the relationships knowing it was all new to me. We have now split up for several reasons, which I will not bore you with. But coming out to family and friends due to fear was a issue for me, but my partner felt I was disrespecting her feeling by not telling family and being open and was pressurising me to do it which as lead to the split. Should I have been pushed into coming out until I worked through the fear and had the conversation. They do know now.
