I want to hear your queer love stories! 🌈🫶🏻
by EmpatheticShell

 October 8th
...See more Hey my lovelies! I want to hear your queer love story! Not just the happy ending but even sad, unfinished one.. Tell me about the love that made you feel seen for the first time. The person who made the world feel softer. The stolen glances, the late-night conversations, the first “I love you,” the tiny moments that nobody else knew were sacred.🫶🏻 And tell me about the heartbreak, too.💔  The love you couldn't have. The person you had to let go of. The relationship that ended even though the love didn't. The coming-out fears, the distance, the family that didn't understand, the timing that was wrong, the words left unsaid. The goodbye that broke something inside you. Maybe you found the love of your life! Maybe you lost them! Maybe you're still waiting... Maybe you loved someone who could never love you openly. Maybe someone loved you when you didn't yet know how to love yourself. Maybe your story is messy, complicated, unfinished, or something you have never told anyone before. I want to hear all of it!!!!!!! Tell me your most beautiful, devastating, soul-shattering queer love story! Tell me about the person who changed you. Tell me what happened! And if you're comfortable, tell us what that love taught you. You don't have to give names. You don't have to reveal anything you're not comfortable sharing. You can write as much or as little as you want. Some love stories end in forever. Some end in goodbye. And some simply change us so profoundly that we carry them for the rest of our lives. I want to hear yours. ❤️‍🩹🏳️‍🌈

Midlife move to a platonic marriage, and uncertainty over what comes next
by lavenderLunch8756
Last post
 October 4th
...See more Hi all, nice to find such a nice supportive community! Things have been a little rough in my world the last little bit and I have been feeling pretty alone. I am not sure what I am looking for here really, maybe just a safe place to share the changes that have been going on, and practice looking at the new landscape.  I am in my mid 40s, bi, nonbinary, and in a long marriage that for a few years now has been moving away from a romantic relationship toward a more platonic one. Our kids are grown up and since they moved out we have been living apart, but we have some shared responsibilities that keep us working together several times a week and make staying married an easier choice than divorcing. Plus, really, there is still care in our relationship and it is nice to have someone who you can lean on, ya know.  This last week though some texts brought out the fact that my spouse has started developing feelings for someone else, maybe something you could describe as an emotional affair. The thing is, I would have said we were on our way to reaching an arrangement where this would have been fine, I think we were headed to some degree of openness in the relationship, but since we had not gotten that far in our talks together learning of this has been pretty painful for me. The silver lining has been lots of sharing of hard truths, and a better basis for our platonic relationship going forward.  I have been struggling with how to think of our new marriage status. Lavender marriage is not it, though it is making me laugh that the automatically suggested user name for me was lavender lunch. In some of our talks I have started to wonder if my spouse is somewhere on the aromantic spectrum, and has been struggling with feeling inadequate for not feeling fulfilled by what they are supposed to want so hey, maybe it is a marriage a little bit brought about by the comp het push to partner everyone up to make babies.  It is silly to be stuck on how to describe our relationship, but I am a bit. My spouse says, and I think means, that they would be extremely happy if I found someone to love me. I have been telling them, and meaning, that I feel the same (this is where the conversations start to make me wonder about arospec, because they, at least right now, do not think they want to meet anyone, and were as surprised to find themself developing feelings for someone else as I was, though we have been living apart for years now). I need to feel settled in my own mind about presenting myself as someone with a long term commitment to someone else who also might have room for someone else. I think platonic marriage is correct, though we did not start out that way.   An open marriage has always been on the table for me, at least in theory (cannot actually imagine having had the bandwidth while raising kids in a pandemic!), but my spouse has always been unsettled when finding themself having a little crush or whatnot so I set that aside, and in the years we have been living apart have just been moving toward that conversation very slowly, and had some medical issues to boot. I think that is where we are at now, though. And, yikes! I have not dated anyone in more than 25 years! Am I really about to go out into the world and tell somebody cute I am interested but then also somehow explain all my baggage? Definitely I need to work out a shorter self intro than all this.

Purpose Over Pleasure: What Almost Cost Me My Family
by CradleDuck
Last post
 July 24th
...See more I want to share one of the hardest lessons I've ever learned in the hope that it helps someone else avoid making the same mistake. I'm a bisexual man married to an incredible woman that I love deeply. She has known about my bisexuality for years, and over the years we've had on-and-off conversations about the possibility of opening our relationship. Recently those conversations became much more serious, and I genuinely believed we had reached an agreement. I was wrong. Looking back, I confused talking about something with both of us being emotionally ready for it. Those are not the same thing. The decision I made caused an incredible amount of pain to the woman I love and nearly cost me my family. That realization has been devastating. One of the biggest things I've learned is that purpose has to come before pleasure. For me, my purpose is my family. My wife and my daughter mean more to me than any sexual experience ever could. My wife accepts me for who I am. She accepts that I'm bisexual. Right now, the boundary we're both comfortable with is keeping our marriage between us, and if I need to express that part of my sexuality, using a strap-on or *** instead of involving another person. If that's what our marriage needs permanently, I'm okay with that, because protecting the family we've built matters more to me than chasing another experience. If you're thinking about opening your marriage, slow down. Keep talking. Make sure you're both genuinely ready before either of you acts. If I could go back, I wouldn't act at all. No moment of pleasure was worth risking the years of love, trust, respect, memories, and the family we built together. For me, the cost was simply too high. I learned the hard way that some experiences can last minutes or hours, but the consequences can last a lifetime. My purpose is my family, and if I had truly kept that at the center of my decisions, I never would have put my marriage and family at risk. I still have a lot of healing and rebuilding to do, but I'm committed to becoming a better husband, a better father, and a better man. I hope sharing what I've learned helps someone else protect the people they love before it's too late.

Bisexual or Lesbian Rant
by DiscoveringMe26
Last post
 July 16th
...See more Why are women always on back burner instead of front when dealing with sexuality and private time with my partner?  I am married to my husband, but I have always been attracted to women too. My first kiss and intimate experiences were with woman. However, I have been intimate with men and women. I enjoy both, but as I am getting older, I am finding that I think about women so much more often and my attraction towards them is really strong. When I’m intimate with my husband, it’s like the only thing that can get me to that point is thinking about women. The part that frustrates me the most of navigating my sexuality is that I don’t understand why I always hit a wall with women. It’s like I want to pursue them so badly but then something stops me. I love my husband, I do, but it has always felt like something was missing. I married him for a reason, but I don’t know what’s going on with my mind.

...See more Hello. I'm not really sure what I'm doing here on this site. I'm just kind of scared for everything. My parents don't support LGBTQ+ at all.  My mother just yesterday told me that she supported a friend who discomunicated with her child because she came out as lesbian. My mother often tells me stuff like this and it's starting to really agitate me ngl. She just recently took me aside to ask kindly if I was gay. She wanted to know this so that if I was she could "fix" me (that's when she told me the story of her friend and continued to say that if I were gay it would be the most devastating thing to her). I am a closeted omnisexual and trans/agender (just queer in general, teen) and im constantly on edge because, what if she finds out? I really hate living like this.  She keeps on peer pressuring me to talk badly about others because of their looks (she does the same to my siblings but they go along with it and don't think much of it), and she constantly judges me. She claims she's a Christian but I know Christians shouldn't act like this. She the reason that some people give Christianity a bad name. I don't know what to do. Am I overreacting? She hasn't hit me yet.

...See more I'm a gay female and I'm extremely scared of coming out to my parents it's not that they wouldn't expect me it's just the it would make things weirder and then my mom would have to give me the "remember to hide this from your grandparents" talk because my grandparents are not expecting or gay people. I have a older sister who is gay and has a girlfriend and it's a big part of her life that she has to hide from my grandparents so what should I do?????
