Hi everyone!! I am a 56 year old lesbian woman who has been married to a man for 32 years. He doesn’t know, but he has suspected through out the years.As I get more comfortable I would like to share my story as I go.I have a 32 year old son and an 8 year old granddaughter. I would like to come out eventually, but I am truly terrified to do so, I have not cheated on my husband , but I have so longed to have a female partner/companion. I am finding myself more angry and depressed the older I get. So anyway I look forward to sharing your experiences with you and opening up more about me❤️
Mama Bear.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help so many years ago. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! There are a number of sub-forums here on EC...why don't you check them out and then feel free to join in the conversations! In particular there is a sub-forum titled "Sexual Orientation" if you post there I think you’ll find people who will understand what you are dealing with. This is a safe community of caring and supportive people and we will do our best to help you blend into the community. You can ask questions in any of the Sub-forums by creating a new thread or by joining in a conversation-thread that is already going. You can also post a message on anyone's Profile Page after you have made at least ten posts yourself. If you have a question that is somewhat private you can always send a Private Message to any Staff Member. Normally Private Messages can only be exchanged between two Full Members, but a PM to a Staff Member is an exception. We are so glad that you have found us here on Empty Closets. …..David
Welcome to EC. You’ll find other members here who are or have been in a similar situation. I hope that you find the support you’re looking for here.
Hey Mama Bear, welcome to EC. It is a difficult situation that you are in but as the others have said you will find that plenty of people here have also been in similar situations. What do you think is most stopping you from coming out (not that im saying it is only 1 thing.)
