I have a friend that 'found out' she was gay after she was married. Her journey sounds very similar to yours , Steph. No FAC, but she spent her teenage years at school in the Philippines. The interesting thing -- at least 3/4 of the people she knew at that age ( both friends and family ) have come out of the closet.
It kind of reminds me of a few of the new relationships I've seen among some of my older friends. In general, there seems to be a lot less drama and guilt. They seem to be able to say things like - I need alone time or, no I'm not living with you unless we are married or even things like I want you , but I don't need you -- and things work so much better and smoother. Too bad we can do it when we are younger
I don't think anyone thought you were decieiving any Steph, just that it was something you couldn't admit to yourself and worked through. And I'm glad you did!
Also thanks everyone for the nice comments about me and SLNRLBF -- we are happy this is the most content i've been with anyone. He's a very ... grounding presence for me I guess is the best way to say it. Plus I slept so well when he was here, I was just so much calmer , my thoughts were calmer, it's hard to describe but it's a great feeling.
I shared all your nice words to him.
In reference to Teppy's comments he said he's Certified Smitten.
My Mom is drafting a letter that we have all agreed to put our names to expressing our concern for my sister, our need to never see her boyfriend again, and our wish to not see her for the forseeable future.

This sounds horrible.

I'm so sorry you are all having to go through this.
I think she has a problem as real as drug or alcohol addiction. This is our intervention. Thanks for the hugs.
Hang in there, Laga-- sounds nightmarish, but at least you're facing this as a family.
I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this, Laga.
Oh honey. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.
(((Laga)) I'm so sorry you and your family are having to deal with this.
