Hello! My name is Emily and I'm a late life lesbian. On my channel I share my story of getting divorced from a man after being married for 11 years and coming out as a lesbian at the age of 33 as well as support and resources for other women who have now found themselves in the same situation of realizing they're lesbians while in relationships with men.
I often get the question of you someone can suddenly just "realize" they're a lesbian. So in this video I discuss and share how this can happen.

When I realized I was lesbian I did feel like it was a huge lift off my shoulders. I never really had feelings for men and tried to force my feelings, and wanted to have a crush on them so bad but it didn’t work. When I realized how I felt towards women, and how much more comfortable it was it made me feel so relieved. It really is a bit hard to explain but I do feel like you explained it perfectly. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has gone through this😭

I always had an ick towards men... They are my best friends but when "I fall in love" with them (which never happened for real, I never fell in love) I'd soon start developing an ick towards them and sexual repugnance grew up through time...I started at 15 by thinking I was bisexual... Then I realised that I love people's minds, by 20 something...so I thought: I'm pan. But now, at 37... I really don't think of men sexually...and thinking of it... Grosses me out... So I thought I was pansexual-greysexual. But I don't feel icky thinking about sex with a woman... I'm a lesbian.

Thank you for sharing! I think a lot of women experience this too, like an evolution of sexual identity

Talk about Late Life Lesbian! I came out to all at age 72. I coordinated a book, a chapter each with 10 women sharing how they came out late. "From Bud to Blossom: Our Lesbian Journeys" Coordinating author, Nancy Allen

You nailed the answer to the question--"How could you not have known?"-perfectly! And the same considerations apply to men as well. Trust me, I know. From a late life gay man with a background and stories very similar to yours.

Thank you! If you're interested, I'd love to chat more about your story from a man's experience/perspective and maybe do a virtual call to share on here to spread awareness from the male side? You can email me @ thelatelifelesbian@gmail.com or send me a DM on IG @thelatelifelesbian if you'd like to chat more

Emily. This quotation might be of interest to you. "What coming out brought for me, in the end, was a peace I hadn't known you could possess." The author is a writer and journalist, married for fourteen years who then fell in love with a woman. Michael R

Guilty on all levels. Still can’t fully come out due to circumstances.
