Falling back into hetero life...

@Fenrir do you believe I am asking someone to make this decision for me? Isn't this entire site to help people who are questioning this big massive thing we are all going through? I joined this site in December and 4 months later, yes, I'm still struggling with all this. In the scheme of things, that's not long at all. You advocate for us to take a measured approach, and I am doing exactly that - no rush decisions. Yet I feel like you're making some judgments that are inaccurate. I would also like to inquire how you came to have the perspective that you do. Your experience does matter here - again, we are all supposed to be able to offer advice and be a sounding board based on our shared experiences. Many of us find that we have a lot in common, yet each of us come from a different place. For example, if you feel so negatively about divorce because maybe you had a bad experience as a kid, that's valid and it's your experience. But it's not reflective of everyone's experience.

I am sorry if this comes off as combative - we should be here to support each other. But that also means respecting each others' paths and different opinions.
