Welcome to the Turning Tavern III

[Crushinghard]

A continuation of the TTII thread for women unexpectedly finding themselves attracted to other women.

Haha, you really should Brains.
To be on the safe side I have disinfected my keyboard and I'm armed with all sorts to protect me from MN lurgies!!

You lot will get me into trouble! Its like being a kid again being dared. Well if you do ever read a bun fight about illnesses passed through the internet you will know who is to blame!

Can you imagine all the AIBU and WWYD threads as a reaction to it? I'm thankful that we cannot get each others illness bugs.

Oh god if we could! They would have to take MN down for days at a time to clean it of all bugs.

Actually you could post this as an obviously joke thread - that would be ok

Hi all. Just a quick check in. I haven't updated much here as it's a bit too public, but in brief I've come out to my mum and I've told my dh that there is no hope for us and that I want to move to the spare room.
It's all going very fast for me, but that's the way I do things. I've totally given up on WIQ but I hope we can be friends. I'm on the lookout for WIQ2.
Mumbling any time you want to join the fb gp you can ask any of us who are on it to add you, just pm one of us.

great for you Crushing, well done for the courage! how did you r Mum take it? I'd be very uncomfortable telling mine (she doesn't know any lesbians - lives in a diff country where it's only a 'young' niche scene = and to her it's extremely unusual). Was she puzzled but ok, or shocked?
With your dh, yes inevitable happened. Good kucj with finding wiq2, most of alll!

'Good luck', obviously!

Mumsnet has been down a lot lately do you think it might have actually caught something from one of us

It's been hit by the gay plague.

Yes, they have caught the gay plague and as a result MNHQ are busy setting up lesbian love nests. You read it here first!

Oh Crushing big hugs!! I hope things at home are as well as they can be. It's such a massive step for you to have taken. I'm glad you have the support of everyone on here, have you been to the group again? Did they offer you advice? x

Oh God, if MN gets the gay plague will they paint a pink cross on the homepage?

I've just emailed WIQ, very blandly, to ask if she'd like to go for a drink next weekend. I won't hold my breath for reply.....

Let us know what she says polly Or if she gets back to you at all

I will. I am not hopeful though (she says cheerfully)

As a punishment, we'll all be locked up in rooms of two.

polly, good. It's always possible that she overlooked your last one, especially as it was about work. I think she will reply as it would be rude not to, it being an invite, but HOW will she sound is more important.
are you feeling better? another good thing for immune system is Spirulina.

hi Likea felt awful most of the day but have been taking a cold & flu remedy which does seem to have helped, I can breathe now which is a bonus! Just really really tired.

It's the how she will sound (assuming she does reply) that worries me, she can get a lot of vibe into very few words

Anyhoo, how's you?

well, if she sounds cold then at least you can move on, but if warm-ish you can then go for those drinks and also will know for sure.
I'm not proprely down with a cold but a bit 'wobbly' not much energy - some progress with unpacking etc as that's ALL I'm doing now. I have to have a cosy-ish home to feel good, so it's a priority, but as a result I'm a bit of a hermit right, doing stuff (and getting muscle strain from all these boxes).
Will be seeing wiq now on sunday of next week next, hopefully.

*right now

Waves to likea and mumbling.

My mum took it okay, she's really worried about DD though, mainly because she can tell I'm stressed and snappy and sometimes take it out on DD. Am making a concerted effort to be less snappy with her.
I also told a colleague yesterday and another friend today! I can't seem to help myself!
Have finally managed to hammer it home to dh that I am indeed a lesbian and our marriage won't survive this. It's awful. He's crying lots and not saying much to me. I feel awful for putting him through this, but I know it has to be done.
I did most of my crying earlier this year so am not feeling it as badly as he is just now.

sorry to hear about dh's upset, life changes and break ups ARE hard, I think it's somewhat bettter for him that you haven't left for another man as it's not abouthim then. But it's better to be honest then go behimd his back, also hopefully you could remain friends if he's a good person.

Sorry outofmymind. Tell us more then?

We are here. Tell us what's happening x
