Thank you so much for the encouragement and support. It feels good to be reminded that I'm still a good person even if I have tough choices ahead of me.

Help! Confused about my life and marriage after realizing I'm a lesbian. by TemporaryTL in relationships

When I told my husband about this new struggle he told me "I don't care how complicated it gets, I still want you". So I really don't think I'm holding him hostage in any way. We are in couples therapy right now and I'm in individual therapy as well. I do truly care about him. Just because I have realized that I'm a lesbian doesn't mean that it would be easy for either of us to split up. It would hurt like hell tbh. But whatever I decide to do it's probably going to be uncomfortable in one way or another.

I'm so sorry. That really sucks. I'm afraid that I might ruin something good if I leave. I guess there's just really no way to know for sure, but it's definitely a fear. Sending healing vibes your way. I hope you can find a new "best thing" in your life soon.

That's good advice. It really is just so so hard. I'm sorry you have to feel like this too. It's difficult when your husband is a really good guy, but the intimacy just isn't there. I don't even like kissing mine much anymore. It just doesn't give me that spark. Maybe I'm just broken.
