About Me

Until March of 2008, I was in a long-term relationship with a great guy. Back in December of 2007 I was extremely surprised to discover that I had fallen deeply in love with a female friend, which threw me into a state of enormous confusion since I'd always been basically boy crazy. I never had an affair with the woman, but I was open with both her and my boyfriend about how I felt and she and I decided not to spend time together anymore because the situation was too complicatedt. That experience opened a door in me I didn't know was there and for several years I was incredibly confused and frustrated much of the time. I knew deep inside that to be happy I needed to honor this surprising change in my sexual orientation. I was totally open with my boyfriend all along and finally told him that I needed to leave the relationship and be with women, that I had changed and needed to follow a new path. UPDATE March, 2008- My boyfriend and I transitioned into a very sweet friendship and I'm now in an amazing relationship with a woman and sublimely happy. She and my former boyfriend get along very well. I followed my true path and acted with integrity all along and it feels amazing. It was so scary and difficult to make these changes, but absolutely worth it.
