Coming Out Age: 48

as my parents made me get married at 16 i found it
 hard to tell them i thought i was gay so instead told my
 husband,from that day on my life was a misery,i stayed
 married for 25 years.
when my children had grown up,i decided to look for an
 alternative life to live,i had always known i was gay
 but was ashamed,to admit it i had a few dates,but was
 unhappy as the woman i met were not very nice.
going into a lesbian dating site i met my love,4 years
 ago we had a love affair from afar i lived in uk she
 lived in america,we visited on and off for 4 years but
 america wouldnt give me a visa because i was gay, so
 in april she came here to live we married in may,and i
 have never been as happy i just wish i had come out
 sooner like when i was 16, i have missed a lot
 especially having gay friends,i would love to meet other gay
 couples in our age group 50 to 70 where are all the
 older lesbians,we dont know any and its hard to meet
 them.any e mails are welcome from like minded gay woman.
