It's the naughty step 4U!
Does anyone have a funny, sad or intersting coming out story? I'm keen to hear them. Those of you who know me or Mergirl will know that we are a couple. As a couple I have to say that Mer and I had completely different experiences. Mine was very positive and Mers very negative. I'll leave it to Mer to tell her story if she chooses it's far more interesting than mine.
I was very lucky, everyone was really supportive and accepting. Noone knew that I had any feelings for or experiences with women, however they had known me in two long term relatiionships with men, one of which I was engaged to. So at the age of 36 I told my dad, " well I have something to tell you", worried he looked at me and said, "what?" "well, you know my friend Lisa (Mergirl), she is actually my girlfriend". That was pretty much how I went about telling everyone to various responses but most of them positive, some mildly amused and some speechless. My dads reply was, "o'h well there's a lot of it about these days". He likes Mer very much so I know he's not bothered, he would actually come in the house and have a cuppa with her if I was out and my parents have never been like that with any guy I've dated. I come from a small town and I'm happy to say they don't have a small town mentality.
