As I mentioned in your first video. My former wife of 14 years came out at 42. We got divorced. That was seven years ago. It will all worked out. And yes she had to deal with a lot of opinions from friends and family I promise it will all be good. Stay strong. Your husband may still have a place in your life. But that’s up to him and it takes time The reason I’m watching this is to better understand what she went thru all those years ago. Very similar story
Thank you for your kind words (and sorry I'm literally 3 weeks late in responding! It's been a rough 3 weeks!) I think my husband will have a place in my life, but it's going to be a rough road ahead to figure out what that means. I also think it's incredibly kind of you to try and understand her journey. I'm going to keep making videos, so subscribe if you'd like to hear more.
I’m on the other side of this right now. I have A LOT of love for the man that I married. He is amazing. And I do not want to hurt him.. my biggest fear is that he’ll feel like I faked my love for him. Do you have any words of wisdom, or anything that your ex wife did or could’ve done to make the situation easier for you?
Ok, I didn't comment on your initial video, but feel compelled to put my voice into the mix. I was a rebel....out early in high school in the late 1960's. Loving family, all accepting....all good. Rare, but good. Two long term relationships with two great women, and then.....a late bloomer, married with 5 kids came crashing into my life. We tried really hard to be honest, ethical and respectful...seems like you are doing that too, it will pay off later. It was not easy for her. But she knew, at age 47, that after 25 yrs of marriage to a great guy, that a HUGE piece of herself had been denied for too long. We only live once, we need to be who we are or at the end is disappointment, bitterness and regret. We have been together for 31 happy years. She has 6 grandchildren and a great grandchild. Her kids and grandkids love me, and I them. So, I am here to tell you, from a pure queer perspective, the Lady Love of your dreams is out there, be open to her when she shows up. Best to you young lady, and welcome to freedom.
Thanks for posting this video.... I really needed to hear all of this today. 🙏🏼 ❤️ The part that spoke to me most was when you said that we, humans, can feel multiple emotions at the same time and that's completely okay. And that something positive can carry/contain/bring about painful emotions as well. I'm so inspired by your strength and clarity. Congratulations on living YOU, on celebrating YOU - without having to conform or minimize your inner truth for anyone or anything. 🥰🎉🌈 I'll be following your jouney...
@@samantha4130 No we haven't talked yet, he is gone a lot for work and I am way too chicken shit. I am just starting to reach out to a therapist to help me navigate all of this. I feel like my truth will bring nothing but destruction.
Thank you for being so vulnerable for us to see, and learn from! You said that both you and your husband believes this is the right decision, so everyone else should stay out of it (wouldn't that be nice!) I am studying to be a counselor - hopefully you have some good mental health supports in your life to help along the journey. Take care!
I am 32 have 2 children and was married we separated 8months ago and i think he knew i was gay before i did... I finally came out today and fully accepted myself. You gave me the strength so thank you 💕 xx
I can feel all the things that you are expressing. It is all crystal clear. I wish you the best and I will be following and encouraging you along the way. It is a tricky situation. The same thing happened to my uncle when he came out at 49. You are both making the right decision.
Thanks for your bravery..for yourself and for others. It’s important. I recently came across the show Gentleman Jack and thought it was interesting a lot of the same emotions and drama lesbians have experienced 200 yrs ago are ones some of us still have to struggle with today because of culture, religion and societal norms. But the future is getting brighter though and it’s because people like you have gotten brave enough to come out and push forward.
Thank you for doing this, as a nonbinary person thinking about comphet is kind of interesting, because the world doesn't only want me to not love women, it wants me to be a woman as well. Everything gets super complex as I am also pansexual, but I have SO MUCH experience of dating and even being in relationships with men that I don't love for their sake, ignoring my own feelings. I am in a relationship with a man currently who still identifies as straight even though I am nonbinary and not a woman. He wants children at some point, I don't which means he might leave me, so I'm basically waiting for him to leave. I'm polyamorous but currently he's my only partner, I want to have a relationship with a woman again as I've only had that once(and it was a chaotic relationship). He's monogamous and I don't think he'll change.
Wishing you strength and peace. I can only imagine how difficult this transition is for you. And unusual for those around you. It’sgoing to pass, though. And you’ll find a new normal. Best of luck going forward!
This was so validating. I broke up with my boyfriend 3 months ago because I realized I was gay. I really feel that urge you spoke of to keep wanting to spend time with your husband and snuggle and watch a movie. Those are the moments I really miss. It can be exhausting reminding yourself that it is all for the better. Thanks for documenting your journey
I really hope the hard parts get easier for you soon. I’m still stuck being too afraid of those parts to do anything. Thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to hearing you live your life the way it was meant to be 🖤
Cindy, I know someone who's going through the same thing, but she feels stuck in her situation. Not sure if she'll ever get out... I have the upmost respect for you and am proud to watch you through this journey!
You’re going to make it through this. I’m going through something similar with my 6 year long relationship. I’m already so much happier on the other side but have been there too, ok
It is painful now going through all of it, but you will be more comfortable and happier when your living your life with the love of your life. Life is too short not living the life you want. Don’t let people look down on you for being gay. Keep your head up.
I kinda relate to your struggles but I have a deferent story if you don’t mind sharing, my boyfriend is getting married to a woman we live in Saudi Arabia it’s quite impossible to maintain a gay relationship and he said to me he want to have kids we both are bisexual but I’m struggling to watch him go marring another woman. He said we can still be friends but I’m really hurting I don’t know what to do!
Hiya first of all a big hug , how long were you married for the reason i ask is that ive come out as crossdresser at 60 , being married for 32years i daughter about too get married herself. Come from a Baptist church background, and my wife doesn't want to acknowledge my crossdressing at all. It's extremely difficult and emotional situational...💖
Hi Peter! That would be rough. So hard. I was married for 10 years, so not quite as long, but long enough that it was incredibly difficult to just change the relationship. I don't know what the best answer for you is, but know you're not alone in struggling with these things and that you deserve to be happy too.
🤔 10:41 Says "My husband whose a lesbian" I initially thought it was just my hearing, but, apparently UA-cam is hearing the same. I turned the subtitles on & it's saying I heard correctly and I know I haven't lol 👁 👁 👃 👅
I know this video was posted a while ago.. but I’m in a heterosexual marriage and realizing how strong my feelings are for women. Do you have any advice as I’m taking a hard look at my life and kind of starting out on this journey of self acceptance.. we haven’t made any decisions yet. I’ve told him about my feelings and it doesn’t seem like he really believes me or sees it as a reason to question our marriage.
Just created multiple options for people like you (and me) who want to vent/chat! I have a discord server: TalesofCindy - Chat You can chat with me while I play video games on twitch ( twitch.tv/talesofcindy ) And I have an email account for more private stuff set up: talesofcindy@gmail.com Hope to hear from you!
Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one gets to the Father but by him. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith on Jesus. Trust Jesus. God bless you.
Stupenda creatura mi vuoi dire anoi italiani che sei innamorata ma per noi amore e nella nostra cultura se un poeta non avesse la parola amore come scriverebbe una poesia se Michelangelo non avesse il marmo che farebbe a scoprire il Davide nel essere umano alla nascita viene messo amore nel suo cuore e va donato ese lo riavrai ti farà volare su più su fino a toccare il blu
You can acknowledge feelings deep down... You can question them, throw them away, push them back for many reasons (some do this to not hurt loved ones around, some because of fear of rejection or loss, some for their own convinience - there are a lot of reasons, right?) And at some point you just can't ignore them anymore, because these feelings keep creeping up from deep down and won't let you alone.... The suppressing makes you depressed, sad, questioning.... So you have to choose at some point.
She's been married to this man for 10 years, and hasn't been divorced yet. Even when the divorce is final, I'm sure saying "ex-husband" will be really weird and take some practice.

Your honesty is empowering! You should write a memoir.
I totally agree

I am dreading this. Missing the companionship. I don’t know if I have the strength
Same, been together since we were 16 and have two kids. The internal anxiety is intense.
Jennifer Jorgensen I’m still deliberating the conversation.... gotta go on holiday next week too. Totally understand the anxiety. Have you spoken yet?
@@samantha4130 No we haven't talked yet, he is gone a lot for work and I am way too chicken shit. I am just starting to reach out to a therapist to help me navigate all of this. I feel like my truth will bring nothing but destruction.
Jennifer Jorgensen I hear you. That’s my fear too. But we can’t exist for someone else’s happiness.
@@samantha4130 that is so true.

You find out real quick who your true friends and family are. There is a price of admission but the journey is worth it.

The pictures were the toughest and takes you off guard when you least expect it.
I’m 37 and I just told my hubby that Ike women we have been married for 15 years and it’s hard for me
I hope you're pulling through, Faith, I promise it gets better!
I admire your courage and authenticity in sharing your story.

TM that must hurt so bad. Of course you are. I wish you all the strength and energy you need.
Ishizu Thank you you’re so kind
Sending virtual hug ❤
This must be very rough. Stay strong! I wish you the best
Love you hun ❤️
Never ever let yourself be ruled by a false sense of self for the sake of society, friends or family.
In your next vid try talking about the impact on your kid try talking about what " youwillbe doing to keep your kids contact to his or her father ".
I feel the same way about being trans!
I needed this so mush

I honestly dont understand how u didn't realise before you got married.....
You can acknowledge feelings deep down... You can question them, throw them away, push them back for many reasons (some do this to not hurt loved ones around, some because of fear of rejection or loss, some for their own convinience - there are a lot of reasons, right?)

So you have to choose at some point.
watch her first video love
I feel like you're doing a mistske. I've been with a woman for past 5 years. It was the worst years of my life💔😪
Well you are moving out. You are gay, so why are you saying "My husband"?.
they're still technically married
She's been married to this man for 10 years, and hasn't been divorced yet. Even when the divorce is final, I'm sure saying "ex-husband" will be really weird and take some practice.
Really?
