Hi, I'm new here, can I come out and play? This is the first group like this I've ever joined.
I'm newly separated after 12 1/2 years of marriage. Back when I met my husband I was just starting to admit to myself that I wasn't entirely heterosexual but got all caught up in someone loving me and the fun of that. Fast forward to the present and I'm suddenly 40yo fairly amicably separated from a guy who used to be my best friend but to whom I haven't been attracted for years. I'm sad at the turn of events, mainly because there's a hole where my friend used to be, but I'm also kind of weirded out because finally I'm on the verge of being free and that's scary too.
A friend, as a joke, made me log into match.com. She thinks I'm stuck in monogamous wife mode and that's why none of the guy matches interested me. Actually they all kind of skeeved me out!
I feel like a stupid teenager again. Dating was bad enough the first time around but now ... well I think it will be a long time before I'm ready for any of that, but would it be okay if I hang out here and get used to things? I'm definitely attracted to women and it was so wonderful to read some of the posts here and feel there were finally people around who I get and who might get me.
I always thought by the time I turned 40 I'd finally feel like a grownup. Nope. I totally feel about 12, complete with braces, glasses and acne. Actually not, but that's how it feels.

I'm sorry, Moriah!! I responded to your post yesterday, but apparently it didn't post for some reason :( Anyway...
Welcome a-board!! I am new here, too, and have already found this group to be so helpful!! They are definitely WONDERFUL "listeners" and so many ladies here have gone through similar circumstances and can share their experiences with others. Every time I get a chance to jump on the computer, I have to come here and see what's going on. I am glad that you are getting a chance to begin a new life...I am waiting for my chance, too :)

Oh hon, not to worry! I've been so overwhelmed by everyone chiming in with welcomes and support that I can hardly complain ;) Thanks for the day after welcome though *grin*

I swore I posted here before, but I can't find my post. By now you should feel welcomed by the board. I hope so anyway.
I hope you stick around, there are plenty of supportive people and M&M's here.
Come out and play anytime!
Hugs, Laurie
