I’m 59 and only been out one year. I have been trying to learn as much as possible about myself and why it took me so long to want to be my true self.  I had a girlfriend for 7 months (2 months of that engaged).  Covid came alone, and she, as a nurse, was very stressed and pushed me away.  I panicked and posted a ‘private’ message and she texted me “we’re done!† So I decided to read as many lesbian stories and books as I can.  I needed to see what I did wrong.  So asking questions of women I have met as friends and reading…..it has helped.
