Where I met my partner?

Meeting at work in a small rural town , after my 3rd divorce, in my 50's, was never expected. My partner was out only to a very few people because of the small rural environment. Myself, I was just emotionless.

How we fell in love

We are "roommates" in the eyes of this small rural town, and will stay that way.We are a couple behind doors. I fell in love with her instantly. I don't know if I actually call myself a "Lesbien". I know I do not look at other women or other men. I just don't look. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, coming out only to our adult children . Life in a small rural town is keeping this relationship in the closet, but that is ok, not fair, but ok.

Advice

  • Almost 60 now and being together for 5 years now proves love can happen later in life and I could never be happier
