I have been seeing a woman for 7 months and really like her.
I've dated men before but sleeping with them was always horrific for me.
I really like this woman but she feels like my dirty little secret.
Nobody knows about her friends /family
I don't know how to do it.
I'm scared of judgement
Aibu here?

YY, abacu.

And you can also have strong emotions to and attractions to people, but still feel they're not right for you. You can fall in love with someone and still know there's something not right, and it's totally normal to do that. And then you move on and find someone else, and eventually (we all hope), you find the person where it is right. And then there's no reason to think about the label that best fits the journey that got you there, unless you want to think about labels.

I say that OP as it is not normal if you are into men to not want to kiss them or to hate sex with men.

I see youre feeling a lot of pressure from the get married and have kids comments. In this day and age, the is no reason this cant be the case for a same sex couple. I have friends who has got married and had children through sperm donors and ivf. Science is amazing. I really hope you do whats right for you, good luck whatever that may be. Dont forget your family and friends love you. Maybe start with a friend as they are friends with you out of choice rather than family which is obligatorary!

And also remember you don't need to get married and have kids either. There are lots of different ways to live a happy life.

I do feel pressure for the whole marriage /kids thing.
I do really like this woman tho,she's fun,she makes me laugh,she's so weird but in a fun interesting way.
I do fancy her like mad too Blush

Then you should enjoy your time with her. But maybe start telling people she is your girlfriend? That is all you need to say.
