At this point in time and age, What do you think of lesbian couples?

Question

I appreciate everyone taking time to respond to this ... everyone is entitled to their own opinion there is no right or wrong answer.

... ok, reason behind the question is this. My bestfriend for many years and myself fell in love and we are now in a relationship hitting 2years. For obvious reasons, we are being very discreet about this with the fact that being both professionals, family, friends and co-workers lookup to us. To add up to our dilemma, we both come from a very conservative family and we dont wish to bring hurt to our dear ones.

I would really like to be with her and i have come to decide that i will tell my folks about the relationship
(may have a hint but we dont talk about it) it freaks me out of the consequences will be if i come out in the open. I am definitely very much feminine and so is my girlf friend we dont wear anything that would give it away.

Answer 1

Dear sunflowers,
personally I'm always happy for any couple that are able to find each other, and make each other happy.
Hugs,
PennyAnn

Answer 2

With all of the detail, I can understand your dilemma. Just come out to your folks. it will suck for awhile, but they will likely get over it. I think we hear about so many gays and lesbians being disowned by their families, that it scared the heck out of us. However, the vast majority of families stay intact. I think that they may even be strengthened by the truth. If you don't tell them, they miss out on an entire part of your life. Think about how much you know about your siblings (if you have any) significant others? What happens if you break up? How can your family support you if that happens. (I went through one of those and vowed never to do it again.)

Keep in mind that you have had two years to accept your relationship. It will be new to those you love. Give them a chance to come around, but don't avoid them. They need to see that you are the same person after coming out that you were before.

Good Luck and God Bless.

Answer 3

At this point in time and age, I think we are a lovely couple.

We know many other lovely couples.

Does this help?




EDIT:
Now, who gave me those down-thumbs? For what? There are some weird freaks on this website (Hi there, Diane H and motochic467... what horrible things have happened to you in your lives to make you both so angry?)


EDIT 2:
I understand your dilemma now (why did you not say all this in the first place?) ... but there has to come a time when you are yourself. Hiding a fundamental part of yourself can only cause you both harm in the long term. It will take an effort, and there will be tears and tantrums ... but if you love each other then it surely has to be worth it.

We are both professional also, and we both come from conservative families.

In the end, you HAVE to be who you are.

Good luck.

I am guessing Diana H has never had someone stick it to her. Poor woman.

Lesbian couples? I'm sure majority of them are about as nice as gay couples or straight couples.

Being in a fulfilling lesbian relationship, I think it's perfectly fine. No one's being stepped on anyway. ;)
