Coming Out Late Ep. #38: Divorcing, Dating & Coming Out to My Son
In this episode, Robin reads to us from a three-part social media post, whereby the author introduces herself as a 35-year old cis woman married to a man for 13 years. Together, they have five children, (under the age of 12). She describes her STBX-husband as pretty conservative and considers the process of her coming out to him as an act of cheating on him.
In this episode, you will learn…
- Navigating a rocky coming-out when the husband is pretty conservative and making things really difficult from the start.
- Identifying as bi-sexual for a few years, but now questioning that label.
- That social media and messaging IS a “thing” among women who just meet up either online, or in person at a bar, (as was the case for this firefly).
- Recognizing that distance and differences could very well NOT be the perfect ingredient for a sustainable relationship - or is it?
- What would it be like to have a sexual encounter with a woman? The firefly author was worried she wouldn’t feel anything or be aroused - see what she found out about that.
- A creative way to have your significant other meet your kids and have your kids meet “Mommy’s new friend”.
- Seeing an opening and coming out to my son.
- The Women Loving Women (Virtual) Speaker Summit is on Saturday, June 25th at 3pm EST. Sign up using this Calendly link: https://calendly.com/womenlovingwomen/women-loving-women-speaker-summit-2
