Come Hang Out in the Forum

Saturday December 27, 2008
Many of us have extra days off because of the holidays. Others of you are snowed in and going a little stir crazy. What should you do to pass the time? Come and hang out with other lesbians, virtually, of course. Here's a sample of what's going on in the Lesbian Life Forum these days.

Same-Sex Marriage Etiquette

To those of you who are married, or consider youselves to be regardless, how do you ask people to address you as a couple?

Adolescent Cliche

My mother recently found some things that I'd written which alluded to the fact that I slept with a girl. She approached me and asked if I ever had, and I lied to her saying no. I've only had one experience with a girl that went further than kissing, and being so young I think I doubt my sexuality alot. I don't know whether to tell mum about my feelings towards women... any guidance please?

The Ex (Again!)

I have been seeing my girlfriend for well over a year now. She remains close with an ex that she was with for over 10 years. It is forever a struggle for me but I have been trying my best to accept the friendship that they share. I've met the ex and her daughters over Thanksgiving dinner...This Christmas my girlfriend decided to spend the time with her daughter, her ex and her exes daughters. I wasn't invited. My girlfriend wanted to spend time with me a couple days following Christmas. She explained to me that she was thinking of her daughter and about how her daughter wanted to spend Christmas.....I am deeply, DEEPLY hurt for not being included....Curious to know how others would respond if they weren't included in their girlfriend's Christmas plans.

I have a partner with a daughter and if I were to go visit them to spend time with my daughter,I would include my new partner.there is never a good reason to leave your new partner out unless they really don’t see the relationship growing.

Just my thoughts on it.

I could see not taking you to a potential hostile family gathering where her sexuality was either a secret or not accepted, but to not invite you to a gathering where everyone knows you exist is unacceptable. It is also unacceptable to spend Christmas day with ex without you being invited. If I was given the respect by being invited and included in the gathering, I would accept spending part of the day with her ex and the daughters, but not the whole day. It sounds like this relationship is not over and that you are not receiving the respect you deserve.

I would be hurt too! It may be time to distance yourself a little from your girlfriend and just think about what is really happening here. In my experience being excluded from a major event by your girlfriend is not about love, caring and consideration. The other thing is if she is doing this now after only one year together, how is she going to get after more time together?
