Hello I'm glad it worked out for her. My situation is different. I'm at the very beginning as far as realizing I have feelings for a woman. I can't really talk to my husband about it without it turning into a argument and name calling and threats to move out. I can't really afford this house without his income. I would have to work 2 jobs to manage this house. I haven't met the women I'm talking to yet just texting back and forth for 4 months now. I know if I cross the line with her my marriage will be over.
Your situation is very similar to many other women going through this.. if you'd like some support to navigate this and connection and community with others, come check out The Late Life Lesbian Community... Https://thelatelifelesbian.com/community
I am a Lesbian but I try hard to act straight all the time I look at woman and flirt and I try hard I am embarrassed if everyone knows that I am lesbian .
I understand why you would think that but my ex husband and I just took our some on vacation to Florida together for his birthday and all had a great time together. We still work together as a family but not being married is the right thing for us.
I started a late bloomer group locally and it was nearly impossible to get others in my area to meet up for support or get togethers. I don't know if it was just to overwhelming, too uncomfortable, or fear of being outed.
Most faith and religions are preached as Homosexuality to be as sinned. Hope that's not true cause alot of people are going to hell if that's what written is ture
I’m married and I have feelings for a woman now. I tried telling my husband how I feel because I have been texting this woman for 4 months now and I enjoy talking to her. My husband had a real problem with the fact that I said I want to meet her. He had a problem with ED so to keep from getting upset. I started chatting with a woman and I fell in love with her. Don’t know what to do now. What would my friends and family think of me.
@lisaroach9900 is there anything that you feel would be helpful for you at this time? A lot of women feel better when they have others to talk to who have gone through this
Do you or anybody else think that these signs could also point towards bisexuality? I see a lot of these things in my past as well. For Some time now Iam questioning my sexuality, whether Iam bisexuell or my past attraction to men was just comphet… Iam really confused
Sometimes it could be bisexuality but I believe there are ways to tell if someone is truly a lesbian but have let comp het and heteronormativity influence their feelings
Great video! Its so ironic how even after coming out how you still need to deal with fear how others will react in all aspects of your daily life including your employeer/profession though. Yes in your profession its only logical how parents would still want to be protective of their kids, but w/your interaction w/the parents I really like how you are still vague when describing your relationships you are in! Im not out yet myself, but once im ready internally I want to shout to the hills how gay I am to everyone, but reality of that is that's not possible. Besides the obvious how unsafe that is, but still not everyone might be as accepting as others are though.
Since this video, I'm very open with my sexuality. I have gotten married though so I often out myself by saying "my wife" and people have just gone with the flow. I think finding that person that I love so much and am so proud to call my wife has made it so much easier to not care what people think 😊
This is the fear that pretty much every woman has on this journey. If you're interested in getting some support and connecting with other women who are going through this, come join me and others in The Late Life Lesbian Community community.thelatelifelesbian.com
You're such a kind, beautiful soul and it shows through your child, CLEAR AS DAY! -- I'm honestly impressed to see such an aware, confident, beautiful child in this day and age and im sure he has you to thank for that... I thank you too, for making another, conscious, beautiful soul for the good of humanity to enjoy... I wish your family the BEST Emily xo ♥ ♥
Sheesh! Here I am thinking i'ma "late bloomer" for coming out at 25, (35 Now), and much more mature women are braving it and doing the same even 10 yrs later then I. SO brave. SO courageous. SO beautiful at the end of the day... If i love anything about this time and space in life, it's that we're all collectively becoming MORE of who we're meant to be and having the courage to do so... BLESSINGS! xo
Every story has 2 sides but we just spent the weekend away together getting our son scuba certified and we get along like family so we have thankfully been able to move past everything and heal and still be a family for our son even though we aren't married now
@TheLateLifeLesbian Coparenting can be a great thing when both parents are on the same page. It's just that I find these stories interesting and rarely get both sides. I'm not saying your side isn't truthful or that you don't get along with your Son's father. And im sure his story from his perspective is 90% the same as yours. But all relationships, in my opinion, have multiple perspectives. And would love to hear his.
@johnh9086 I completely agree! ALWAYS 2 sides and 2 perspectives. I've asked him in the past if he'd be willing to share, but he's a more private person than I am and doesn't really like social media. Maybe one day, he'll agree, but for now, I respect his wishes.
I am currently working through the brand new realization that I am gay and in an eleven year relationship with a man, 8 of those years married. I'm 34 and when reflecting back on my life I do not know how I never came to this realization. I cannot express how happy I am to have found your channel. Thabk you for sharing your story.
Hey! You're very welcome! A lot has changed since this video! I now help women through this journey and realization. Check out thelatelifelesbian.com I have other supports and resources available 😊
I never had dreams about kissing my girlfriends, but everything else you mentioned describes my childhood to a T. I had insane crushes on famous actresses and musicians as well. Those would usually turn into full-blown obsessions. I spent my high-school years totally infatuated with a woman 15 years my senior who I met in aerobics class. All of this, and I STILL didn't acknowledge my sexuality. I was raised in such a homophobic environment that being gay was out of the question to the point where I thought it could never happen to me. I thought all my crushes were just me wanting to be like those older girls/women.
This is a very remarkable and honest book and is worth reading. We get to know Suzette and all of her family and friends and their reaction to her "coming out" And her struggle to come to terms with her situation, which is a victory for her in the end. Michael R
You've sure had interesting thoughts you had growing up! I love your thought of being a Tomboy, but also being the primary breadwinner in the relationship! I had the same feelings, but the opposite though (i.e. Tomgirl) . In retrospect we would have been perfect with each other growing up!
Oh you go girl! You would think those two would go together once you accept one, but being how both are so that's not always the case. I'm telling myself I'm bi now, but that still feels like a lie now.
Don't mislead people with your demonic lifestyle...You need to get demon exorcize ...Yours is not a mental or health issue but rather of demonic origin. Please don't normalize what is abnormal and evil
@artbykarma it's your own journey so it's ok to move as quick or as slow as you need to. If you'd ever like to talk more, I offer free consultations. This is the link if you'd like to do that 😊 thelatelifelesbian.com/freeconsultation
I went through it for nearly 10 years. And the funny thing is, when i first started this "relationship" which was just based upon friendship, her "online friends" contacted me saying "You will not get anywhere here because she is Lesbian"... And i simply replied that, "i am not here for romance,.. just to exchange thoughts and ideas". Needless to say, a man and a woman cant be friends. Because feelings and attractions will always be involved. She never made it any different. She kept on playing with feelings for years and is now a 37 year old virgin. And still lives with her parents.No job of course. They say men are manchildren... The same goes for women. I was 33 when i met her, i am now 43 and what came out of those 10 years?... Nothing! Because long and behold she was a lesbian all along. But she could never admit to it. This in turn has left me with never being able to trust another woman ever again, and it has left me with a really negative view on women in general. Maybe i will find love one day... Maybe not. There are good ppl out there sure, But they are not on the internet! And for me buhuu... 10 years wasted of my life!
Thanks for sharing your delusions with us. Not all of us can be the self-absorbed exhibitionists that you are, but it's good to know you're out there pumping up the interweb's algorithms.
Late life Lesbian as well!!! It’s really freeing not suppressing anymore, I truly was having a really difficult time finding my way in life. This is the most liberating and confident I’ve felt all my life 44 years old mom of 2 WHOSE exHUSBAND constantly saw the 🏳️🌈 in me before I was ready to THANK YOU for the content! I started my RU-vid channel this year “Carolyn “Nikki” Henry 🎉
So let me get this straight, you both agreed to get a divorce and put your son in a statistical disadvantage of coming from a broken home for the sake of BOTH of YOU being happy!? Gotcha 👌🏿🤔
What a fun video. I just watched the Q & A video with Ashley, your ex. Methinks you have a type, Emily. Michelle is your forever, though, & the hottest.
It amazes me how many people trash their lives and STILL find a way to blame society. Blame education. Blame religion. Blame medicine. Blame race. Blame hair color. Blame bird migration. Blame pet dander. They themselves they do not blame. Ego rises to assert one's own identity. Nothing unhealthy here! 🤡
@@TheLateLifeLesbian I know you have no clue; you've shown that. The point is simple enough for even you to understand. Because of _your_ mental instability and _your_ "self-identity" issues, you have shattered the lives of those around you. However you choose to finesse that fact, it remains that you have *most* hurt those closest to you. Even in your last comment, it is YOUR life and YOUR "true self" that defines the issue. How disgustingly self-centered.
@@Minion-kh1tq did someone by chance hurt you? Because you don't actually know anything about my life and the people around me but you seem to be projecting a LOT of personal viewpoints and opinions
@@TheLateLifeLesbian Nonsense; you're spouting pure piffle. I don't care, I never have, and never will. Live the life you want to live. No skin off my nose. But for me and other serious people who have enjoyed happy lives and seen the destruction of natural human relationships, we don't have to know YOUR life. And even the non-serious people out there who have RU-vid and can watch videos by OTHER lesbians who've experienced the sort of dislocations I'm speaking of, they don't have to know your life either. You know, those videos where lesbians speak of those uncomfortable situations where a small lesbian community gets together and old exes complicate all sorts of social matters. And don't be coy; we know it's true. The word is out. You go to a party and can map out the social discomforts that result when you look around the room and see Sally who's been with Tina and Beverly, and Beverly who's been with Amy and Trish and Molly and Suzy and Franky, and Amy who's been with Franky and Gail and Jenny and Paula and Glenda.... There's even been TV shows abut it. And all this so you can have your amazingly destructive life and be your "true self." Go for it. I don't care. I'm just intrigued by the destructive self-absorption of it all.
In fairness, I can't think of anyone in the world who would not be mesmerized and/or totally distracted if Angelina Jolie walked into the room they were in. 😉
Just found you guys & been watching some of your videos. You're the cutest couple. I can't stop staring at Michelle & her beautiful smile. Dimples get me every time.
I’m a gay man and I had to just end things with someone I had been seeing who I really liked. He was very good friends with an ex and it just made me extremely too uncomfortable especially because they liked to go out in the city to bars and alcohol was involved. I just couldn’t handle it and was too uncomfortable not being present knowing they were together and alcohol was involved in a partying environment. The friends with exes thing is so prevalent and common in our community. Dating has really been a struggle for me because of how common this is and my extreme discomfort with it.
I'm sorry to hear that and I can understand your feelings. I actually haven't remained friends with any of my lesbian exes long term but I have stayed friends with my straight exes. I think it's different because now knowing I'm a lesbian, being friends with a straight person isn't a "threat". I think a casual friendship could be possible where there are strong boundaries and you as the new partner are the priority but otherwise, I'm with you! I think when you find the right person for you that they'll also understand and respect that. ❤️
