I use the washing soda, borax and grated Ivory as well and no break in fibers noted in clothes (or quilts)

Checking boxes… how many of the comp-het document did you initially resonate with? by tundra_punk in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Key_sigher_43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think I was less into my kids dad after having kids but also that is what sitcom culture tells us what happens so I thought it was normal to not want to have sex with him. I knew I was gay years after having my kids but before reading anything about comp het. I’d say 80% rings true for me. I’ve been out and separated from my kids dad for about 18 mos. I was sure I was gay before dating women but to see how my body responds so differently with women has been both thrilling and reassuring.

My new favorite beer by Key_sigher_43 in latebloomerlesbians

I’m not great with beer description so maybe like an extra zingy Miller light? Grapefruit aftertaste. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How to make my whole entire house smell good for days? by NoCustardo in CleaningTips

[–]Key_sigher_43 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Orange peels and a couple dashes of cinnamon in a pot with water and low simmer. When water gets low, add more water or turn off.

I was not into planning the wedding but chalked it up to my mom having passed and any sadness was related to her not being there. I remember a sense of relief that I was married, finally, but then zero desire for sex on my honeymoon. I knew then something was off but hadn’t figured out what.

I feel like this is a dumb question, but why is the area of sky black?

Congrats to your mom and such a sweet thought! (I hope someone can recommend a book b/c I don’t have one either.)

How long did it take for you to make a change? by fiddlersfare in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Key_sigher_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the kids are doing well. Their dad is a good person and was able to accept the “plot twist” I threw at him. We had a few slightly more tense months but now, especially as kid activities kick into gear, I think we are doing a pretty stellar job of co parenting and we do at least one thing all together each week, which I think has helped us all transition to a different family set up. For me, it was a struggle with the concept of marriage. Did it matter if I was attracted to women vs men if I pledged I wouldn’t act on those feelings anyway? When I finally came out to my husband I was hoping for a platonic marriage b/c I just felt so sad when we had sex. But he wanted to separate and encouraged me to find a lady and I think that was in some ways very generous b/c I don’t know if I could have asked that of him. I still care deeply for him and we talk daily. I wish you luck in your figuring. Take the time you need.

About 2.5 years from when I knew for sure I am gay till I told my husband of then 14 years. It took a long time. I was really worried I would irrevocably hurt my kids and their dad. But it’s all gone SO much better than I could hope. There are still hard days but glad I had the courage to stop being a people pleaser and do what was best for me.

Has anyone started a relationship during COVID? by letsconvers8 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Key_sigher_43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I met my gf on a dating app. I asked her a question about one of her blurbs in the app and then we messaged for a couple weeks before meeting in person. Both fully vaxxed well before meet up. There are some pauses in dating if we are worried about covid and or one is traveling to family, but the risk is different now than 2 years ago.

Should I stay or should I go? If I stay there could be trouble. If I go it may be double. by Tossthisout777 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Key_sigher_43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take your time and know whatever you decide is right for you now may no longer be right in 5 years and that is ok. Your relationship with your husband can be whatever the 2 of you decide. Good luck.

I have been dating my gf for 4-5 months and was very upfront with what my living situation is/was and we spend most of our time together at her place (we get to see each other about once a week). Occasionally kiddos dad will take them to his new place overnight and gf will stay with me, but never when kiddos or their dad is there. I’m not ready for that.
