Help! I am in my late 30s woman married to a man with 3 children. I have started a new job and met a lady who is a leabion. She is wonderful. We get on well but i find myself thinking about her alot and getting butterflies in my tummy when i see her. I find myself wanting to be in her company all the time. I feel like im catching feelings for her but very confused to why as i have never looked at woman in this way. What is going on with me. Can someone relate to me an advice?

Hi there, Thank you for your message. Figuring out sexuality can be really difficult, and it’s totally okay to be confused. Hopefully we can offer you some comfort during this time. I have also felt confused about my sexuality before. Figuring out that I was attracted to women was really, but I had a very hard time figuring out if I was attracted to men or not. Although it wasn’t the same situation that you are in, I was really confused for a long time too. There are definitely other people who have been in your shoes too, so you’re not alone. Sexuality is a really complicated thing for a lot of people, and it’s okay if it takes you a while to figure out what exactly you’re feeling. The good news is there are plenty of resources to help you along the way. Switchboard is an LGBTQ+ run helpline that offers support and advice about any topic – no conversation is off limits. You can call them at 0300 330 0630, 10am-10pm, or find them at switchboard.lgbt/. If you are in London, London Friend is a great service that offers support, advice and information about all things LGBTQ+, and even hosts social groups which allow LGBTQ+ people to process your thoughts on sexuality in a safe space. They have listed many helplines as other resources as well. You can reach them at londonfriend.org.uk/. LGBT Foundation offers information about all thinks LGBTQ+, regardless of your age group. They also have a phone line you can contact for additional advice and information. You can call them at 0345 3 30 30 30, or go to their website, lgbt.foundation/. If you’re not comfortable speaking to someone over the phone, there’s a great guide for those who are questioning their orientation that might be helpful for you to read. The site breaks down information in a very clear and comprehensive way, and provides resources to help with next step. You can find the guide at yoursexualorientation.info/. I hope you can receive comfort or advice from one of these resources, and you can always come back to the OutLife Forums for support. If you end up using these resources, we would love to hear about your experience, or any other updates on your journey. Best of luck, Kate
