Hi I've name changed for this
I have been living a lie for most of my life. I am a lesbian but never acted on it or told anyone. I've kept it hidden to the point I've even tried to have a relationship with a man (I have slept with two men in my life and hate it) and had three children to try and be normal. I'm now a single mum as it wasn't fair to pretend anymore that I wanted to be with him when I didn't.
There is probably no point to the thread as I will never have the confidence to actually approach a woman or tell anyone the truth but needed to let it out somewhere. My family are quite homophobic and I think this is why I denied my true feelings. I don't even fancy men. I had a point where I thought I may be asexual but I'm not. I am attracted to women not that anyone is going to want to be with an inexperienced 37yr old single mother (I wouldn't want to be).
Anyway there I said it now at least some people in this world know the truth.
