New to group

 I think that I am in the right group now. I have been seeing a therapist since February 2017. I told her about this group and asked for her insight. She said that it may help. I am here to read and to offer compassion and support to other women and men who may be going through the same thing. I found out the first part  of June that the man that I have loved for over nine years may be gay. There were signs that I did not recognize. Thanks for allowing me to be here.

Re: New to group

You are so welcome here Gloria.  I'm glad you found us. 

Don't feel guilty about not seeing those signs earlier.  You couldn't have seen them because you weren't looking for them and you trusted your partner.  

I hope we can help.  Please feel free to post as often as you want.  Please share in the discussions and lend your thoughts and advice.  We all build each other up!

This is good.....a thread that deals with your situation  
I have a question....do you have much to do with the young men (boys?) the man you love makes demands of and entertains? 
And have you had any STI checks?

Re: New to group

Thank you for the welcome. I am more of an observer than participant at this time. I hope to be able to share at some point.
