Newsweek explored the reasons with a LGBTQ+ relationship expert and a woman who made the switch to a same-sex relationship.
The article on MSN discusses the experiences of two women, Sarah and Emily, who transitioned from heterosexual relationships to same-sex relationships. Sarah, previously married to a man, realized her attraction to women after meeting a female colleague, which led to her coming out and eventually divorcing her husband. Emily, on the other hand, had always felt an attraction to women but only acted on it after years in a relationship with a man, leading to a new life with her female partner. Both women share insights into the emotional and societal challenges they faced, including feelings of guilt, the process of coming out, and navigating new relationships. Their stories highlight the complexity of sexual identity and the courage required to live authentically, offering support and understanding to others in similar situations.
