Married Woman Needs Advice

By , About.com GuideNovember 19, 2006

Follow me on:

I've been married for 14 years - unhappily so, but to date I've been able to cope. For more than 20 years I've been fighting this thoughts of feelings for other woman.

This week I've met a girl who is lesbian. I cannot cope around this girl, she is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. When I see her it feels like someone has knocked every breath of air out of me.

What now?

Ladies. Your life is not a dress rehearsal. So you’ve made some bad decisions in the past. Who hasn’t? Be honest with yourself and the ones you love and make the right decision for you. The clock is ticking.

I was married myself when I came out. I can remember the night it all came clear to me. I can tell you every detail. And I have never been happier since. Please take the time and see where you would like to be. If you find that you want to come out and leave your husband, you can. You are strong enough. I won’t say it is terribly easy, but it is worth every bump in the road. I would keep in mind that this girl may not be the one you spend the rest of your life with, so keep in mind that the dating scene may be back around again and possibly someone else. Good luck! Stay strong!

If you’re unhappy leave, but i wouldn’t do it for this beautiful woman. Do it because it feels right for you. Good Luck!

Being true to yourself is what is most important. Leaving for someone else is too much pressure for the other woman. If you leave the marriage because it is not what is right for you, then you are leaving for the right reason. Being honest with yourself is ultimately the most important thing. Good luck.

Go to a therapist before you do anything. Don’t leave your husband unless you are really, really financially secure. I left my husband after over 20 years and for a year or wo it was fun and I had a girlfriend but then reality set in. I would rather be unhappy and know where I will be living at 60 than “being true to myself”. Dating is for young women who have nothing else to do and you have to play the game. You could think about having an affair but most lesbians won’t have sex with someone who is still with their husband. There are bi women out there who will though.
