I considered myself to be heterosexual until I was 29 and married with my son. I discovered my love and attraction to women and got divorced. I saw myself as bisexual for awhile and had a couple flings with a couple guys while I tried to meet women and figure out how all that would work. All of my serious relationships have been with women since the divorce. My parents do not approve and we do not discuss that part of my life. My brothers, friends, family I babysit for, and church accept it. I believe God loves me as I am and love myself though I have a counselor to help with my issues and complex life. What do others think?

As long as you are happy, that's all that matters. Don't let what others think define you. Love is not a sin

Thank you and I totally agree. Love matters more than gender, sexuality, or anything else.

You are an adult and allowed to love who you want to love. It does not matter what other people think, even if they are your parents. You can do whatever you want, love isn't an issue, it is a chemical that tells us what you want, and you cannot change that chemical.

I agree that we cannot help who we love and that we are free to love who we want. Love is better than hate or apathy or living a lie.

My second cousin is actually in the same situation as you. She was married twice to men, don't really know what happened. This last Christmas she married her girlfriend. She's only 4 years older than me. Some family don't approve or understand, but me? I look at it as add to the family stories. I think whatever makes you happy, go for it, :)

I am happy for your cousin and wish her the best. I have only been married once to a man and I do not regret it because of my son. If I get married again I would marry a woman maybe even my current girlfriend that I live with. But I am taking my time because I never want to divorce again.
