Hi everybody!
I just joined this forum after reading a few of the posts and deciding that I needed to learn more. I am a bi 30 year-old married woman. I’ve spent the last year finally coming to terms with my sexuality after years of simply trying to ignore it. Long story short, I grew up in the Caribbean and went to a catholic school, so being queer was just not acceptable so I repressed a lot, for a very long time. I had a few experiences with women throughout college but was always paranoid about coming out. Even now in South Florida, there are few spaces for a woman of color to express her sexuality without being judged and that is not a bar or club.
My husband is super supportive. After months of agonizing over it, I just told him that I think I want to date a woman. He was so open and understanding, and expressed that he’s always wondered about having a polyamorous relationship, but more in the sense of there being another man in the house for him to bond with.
I dated a woman for a few weeks last year, but she wanted to go faster than I felt comfortable with. I was still adjusting to just the notion of dating girls. I’m sad we ended it because I really thought something great could have developed with her, but I did get a better understanding of what I want, which is a more committed type of relationship (I believe poly-fi is the term? Still learning).
And that’s where I’m at right now. I’d like to date someone but don’t know where to meet a girl who’d be open to it. Sorry for the info dump, but I’m really excited to be here and learn more about myself by reading your experiences and advice!
