I simultaneously felt immense sadness and relief. I was at a surf and yoga retreat in Portugal, and he was at home in Denver. One day, our mediator emailed, writing, "Your divorce has been finalized." It was all amicable.įor the next year, I traveled often and lived in my camper van. He kept the house we lived in together in Denver because I didn't want it. I waited for him to show me his "true colors," but he remained the kind and gentle man I fell in love with a decade ago. I held my breath, waiting for the divorce to get nasty. My parents told me to be cautious throughout the divorce proceedings, both having been previously married and divorced, they knew how ugly it could get. No one was surprised that I was gay, but everyone mourned the loss of our marriage. Eventually, I came out to my parents, then to his. We kept our separation to ourselves while we figured out how to get a divorce. The divorce was surprisingly easy but painful But two years later, we're still figuring out how to navigate our new friendship. Through the divorce, we remained amicable. The next day, I packed up my camper van and left. Our decade-long relationship and five years of marriage were over. We didn't say anything for a while we just held each other and cried. I could feel my heart shatter and my soul breathe for what felt like the first time in my entire life. I just knew the moment I said it all out loud.

I answered him with as much detail and depth as I could, but the reality was I didn't exactly know. He asked me whether I was sure and how I knew. This night certainly did not go as planned - but who am I to say no to fate? The way she touches me drives me crazy, waves of tingles run through my body as her fingers move across my naked skin, and her desireful gaze melts me like chocolate."I'm gay. Which was all fun and games, until the most attractive girl I've ever seen just sat down with me. I've never wanted someone as much as I want Valerie right now - not even a man.Įve: My best friend just broke up with her girlfriend, so I went to a lesbian bar with her to cheer her up. I feel enticed by this woman's curvy figure, her angelic face, and the confidence she exudes from every pore. I know when a woman is attractive, but this was something altogether different. I had never felt this way around another woman before. The implication makes me tremble, my skin flushing with heat.

"I'd be happy to introduce you to a lot of new things tonight if you'll let me." "I can tell," Valerie replies quickly with a knowing smirk that leads me to think she's not only talking about the drink. When I went to a lesbian bar with my best friend, I expected to come out as straight as I was before.
