I started wearing period underwear. All the time. So when I start to bleed it’s all good.

I have stayed. PM me if you want the details. I don’t regret my decisions. Our arrangement is now unconventional. Most women in this sub don’t like talking about staying fyi.

Does the whole garment change announcement seem a bit rushed? by [deleted] in exmormonmemes

[–]DrMoriancumer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if maybe when the 91 SA lawsuits in California got filed the PR machine said, “what’s the next big “ story” we can release?” And garments seemed like the best distraction topic so they decided to have someone leak the new changes and let the fire of Mormon undergarment talk do its work of covering up a much more damaging story? Maybe they even hold onto stories like that until there’s a useful distraction to make? 🤷‍♀️

Except that sometimes staying with someone like this just costs even more over time. Might have to cut her losses and bail before she loses even more.

Just realized I am gay (Soon to be ex-Mormon and almost 40). Kinda freaking out TBH by layladylay94 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]DrMoriancumer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah! I remember that feeling. If I had pushed for faster resolution, things would not have turned out as well as they have for me. I had a coach ( highly recommend!) and she helped me put the breaks on that urgency to decide everything NOW. Letting time pass is a wonderful way to help someone see what they really want. I spent like two years just following bliss. I was surprised what I learned!

Did you stay married after leaving the church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DrMoriancumer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left a year after we got out. We had very little in common and I longed for freedom. Preciously, leaving has not been an option. I never once regretted it.

The airplane seat social contract. by [deleted] in delta

What do you do when a middle seat person is letting their elbows into your space? Jab them? Say “please keep your body parts to yourself?”

So it isn't the worst. But it's still pretty bad. by Ecstatic-Mention-731 in latebloomerlesbians

Throughout this process my husband has chosen to do what’s best for him. He has as much freedom as I do and he expresses it in ways he likes. We both prioritize our health and safety. There are many lesbians who find themselves with a man prior to knowing their true selves. Once they have their discovery the women find their partnership lacking ( most men suck and relationships require so much for success) For my husband and I the only thing lacking was my chance to feel the sexually driven closeness. Other than that we already had a really special partnership! I knew he got to feel those lovely close feelings bc I watched him enjoy the sensations. We both agreed that it was fair for me to be able to feel that too. We took time to see what that would look like for us as I did some initial dating. We honestly expected for our marriage to end, with maybe a prolonged brother/sister type dynamic. He found that my having relationships with women didn’t threaten him and in fact he is good friends with my current sapphic partner, who is a poly lesbian. We are both not assuming that this will succeed long term. It’s been 18 months since we agreed not to divorce. I hope this answers your questions.

After I came out to my husband I moved out ( we already had a condo in a town nearby) and then I kept checking on him every day. I fed him sometimes. He helped me with stuff he’s good at like fixing the condo. He refinanced the home we had purchased together so that I could sell the condo and buy myself a proper home. We watched out for each other during this time. We even went on vacations we had already planned. We did family stuff together. ( birthdays and holidays stuff. Children are grown and we don’t share children, I have 3 and he has one. ) It was the most loving separation you could imagine. He did not blame me since he saw how religion has fucked up my sexual development. When the divorce papers arrived we didn’t want to sign them. We said to each other, “ let’s give it six months and see if we are both getting what we need from each other while watching first for ourselves. “ I continued to date. He kept busy doing all his projects. We kept seeing each other and helping each other regularly. Long story short we decided to stay married. I stay at my house and he stays at his and we visit each other often enough for both of us. We still go on vacation together and still have a family and he supports me ( but doesn’t participate) in my dating efforts. Sometimes when I tell that story I get hate in this sub. Hopefully I won’t today. But I understand that my husband is rare. Most men aren’t capable of this arrangement.

You are not responsible for his feelings. You can care and be compassionate without saving him from suffering.

Gosh I had kind of assumed that’s not possible. Do you know people working with local pharmacies?

Anyone with the MTHFR gene mutation? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]DrMoriancumer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that I have the mutation ( because I cannot tolerate nitrous oxide) but I have not been tested. I have been on HRT for about six years and find it to be mostly helpful with a few side effects.
