Was it Late Bloomers?
Hello, Does anyone remember the group that Melissa and Alli talked about, where they met ? I know it is centered in the u.s., but I remember something about an online group as well? Thanks ! X

I thought the weight would feel lighter
I came out to my husband of 30 years and I thought this weight I’ve been carrying would feel lighter. I just feel sad and guilty. He’s a good man, a good dad and he was completely shocked. I thought he must have had a clue. At the end of our conversation he asked “now what, do I even have a bed to sleep in tonight?” I know this is the right thing for me, but I’ve had so much longer to process. I thought once I finally had the courage to say the words out loud the weight would be lifted. I feel like I just blew up our lives and there’s no going back. Please tell me it gets better.

Apparently I do not know when someone is flirting....
Hi everyone! I'm Jess, 47, came out like 5 years ago. I have a daughter turning 17 this month (Sept). I have been sober 9 years. Was married for about 6 years but I didn't leave b/c I knew I was gay at the time...he was just a jerk :D I live near Charleston SC. 😎
So anyhow...I have had 2 girlfriends. I ended both of those b/c things were not moving forward. I was trying to grow and learn and it was not reciprocated (IMO). So I was trying to date again. Apparently my flirting detector is busted.
I really thought a woman at work was flirting with me. I won't get into the details b/c it is so embarrassing (let's say LinkedIn was involved!!) and it turns out she is very married and her wife is like a gorgeous super model type. They are a lovely happy couple.…

You handled that really well. The fact that she didn't say anything about her girlfriend at the start of your texting each other was an act of deception by omission. You were right to find that confusing and you shouldn't doubt your flirt radar from this experience.
Unsure of what I want.
I have been married to a man for 8 years (Tuesday is my wedding anniversary) and we have one amazing little girl. Our marriage has been mostly good, but intimacy has been a problem since day one. He was abused as a kid in almost every way possible and has a hard time with both sex and conflict (he goes into trauma brain and my wonderful, thoughtful husband becomes emotionally manipulative, defensive, and reactionary). I have felt rejected a lot in this marriage because of it. This set the backdrop of unfulfillment and I fell for my best friend (it was unrequited- she is straight) but it opened my eyes to the fact that I am attracted to women both sexually and romantically.
I am now at a point that I am so frustrated with my husband (who I still love deeply, even if it isn't romantic anymore). When I…

Hey Alyson- no kids here but married to a man for a decade with similar feelings related to inconsistent intimacy/sex. I still had a lot of love for him when I made the decision to divorce him and again, similarly to you, I also fell for a friend who had fallen for me as well. With that being said, I agree with Lauryn and have heard much of the same regarding marriages of convenience. I also want to tell you that you don't have to be in a place where you loathe your spouse for divorce to be the right option based on my own personal experience. I just knew that the reality of my situation was things wouldn't change as there was 10 years of history to support that and that I wanted (and quite frankly deserved) more. Now, what was right for me most certainly may not be right for you and there are so many ways this could look- maybe an open relationship, maybe an agreement for you to explore this part of yourself, endless options. I know for myself I was very afraid of and struggled with hurting my ex husband and what his life would look like when I left... but ultimately, I gave him 10 years to address well documented and discussed issues with very little to no consistent change so I chose me. In the end, his happiness and future after the marriage is his responsibility... not that you can't be empathetic. I checked on my ex husband regularly for many years after we first split and thankfully he took the steps to heal himself and move forward and I truly believe we are both better for it. I sincerely wish you goodluck and nothing but happiness!

I’ve been to the group but you have to live in GA to go to the therapy group. I can give you the info on it tif you do. There are some online groups in some of the Facebook groups. I think Robin Douglas from the podcast, Coming Out Late, runs a few.
