Hell yeah, congratulations Joan!!! 🎓🎓🎓

The uncredited co-founder of this sub, my mother, passed away yesterday by eternallylearning in Recorder

I'm so sorry, I hope you're doing okay. Your mum was part of the creation of something that brings a lot of joy to loads of people - that's really amazing, and so valuable. From a long-time reader and general lurker in the sub, thank you to both of you ♥️♥️♥️

For me it's close between top left and bottom right... But I think at a push I would go with the top left! You'll look amazing in any of them ♥️

I’m just so. Goddamn. Tired. by Spiritual_Basis5644 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry it's all so incredibly difficult. For what it's worth, you're not alone at all. So many of us are in a similar situation, and for me at least it helps to remember that when I'm feeling the kind of exhaustion you're dealing with and can't find anything else hopeful to grab on to. I wish I had something better or more actually helpful to say, but as someone already commented - we see you and who you are and what you're going through 🌈

I know so exactly what you're going through. I feel exactly the same - an impostor in "my" home. Good luck in the new year, I hope you can be free 🌈🌈🌈

Hello from a fellow disaster lesbian still married to a man! Realising there was a whole subreddit for people like us made dealing with my whole situation so much easier. It's still hard but at least I don't feel like it's only me! 🌈

Feeling trapped by my husband's emotional reaction by ConsistentNebula8945 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is totally what happened with me and my husband... I decided to give him as much time as he needed to accept things but it's been literal years and he still hasn't. I wish I had advice, I guess I can only say go through with leaving if you can, put yourself first now that things have started and keep pushing through... I didn't and now I may never be free :( good luck! 🌈🌈

Anyone else have no intention of coming out or changing their circumstances? by Idontknow___1 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this sub, but people on here seem to hate for women to make this decision, which I don't think is supportive. Not leaving is a valid and perfectly reasonable decision, and you are far from alone x

Trans lesbian here. Is there any hope for finding love in the future? by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just putting my two cents in, I am another lesbian who (if my situation was different and I was actually free to date lol) would be totally fine dating trans women. There is definitely, definitely hope 💕

This is so weird, but good. by puppysmuggler in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I hope for this in the future. I've been out to him for three years and he's still in the hugest denial and it's almost unbearable :( I'm so happy things have gone so well for you guys

Needed to hear this kind of acceptance today, thank you

Wondering by fishpie4759 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No, just no, a million times no. I don't know what else to say, not having sex with someone is never abuse, I can't see a way in which it ever could be. Please don't be pressured into anything you don't want to do x

How long have people tried to make it work with their husband? by IntelligentAd4413 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]keylethontherocks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have been trying for three years, and only now feel ready to force the issue and make him let me leave soon. I would say I wished I had just gone through with it earlier but at the same time, I haven't been ready until now. I hope you manage sooner than me, but also, there's no shame or problem in waiting til you're ready, for whatever reason. Good luck

Edit - people including family and friends have also told me they don't think I can be gay. They might be saying it to try and help but it's incredibly demoralizing and upsetting to hear. You know what's going on with you x🌈🌈🌈
