Seems like this tribe is rather male-dominated. Are there women-loving women here?

  • I have a "straight" girl horror story. I need someone who can related. :(
    • Probably, most of us can relate. Man 4 man or woman 4 woman, straights that get mixed in there rarely fit well.

      • True...

        I hate that I know she had feelings for me but didn't care enough to ever be honest about those feelings, then as soon as I voiced my feelings for her, she jumped into a relationship with a guy. A very co-dependent (we are together for 10 hours a day) kind of relationship.

        I'll get over it eventually, but i am SO irritated right now. :( I wish there was something I could do to make her feel as bad as I do. I know that it's horrible to feel that way, but I have this vengefulness. I know it's not healthy, and I AM moving away from it, but it's hard right now. She's never had her heart broken or played with, so I guess she doesn't realize how this has made me feel, or how it feels for her to parade her relationship in front of me. I'm trying to figure out how to forgive her so that I can move on from these negative emotions. :( But it's hard.
        • Sweet Gabby, may I please offer you a huge hug?

          Think she was sort of afraid she was gay when she had feelings for you and that why she couldn't say anything and as soon as you said something it sort of forced her away?

          The zen way tells us that others don't do things to us, we do things to ourselves. She did something. Forget the why. How you respond and even your anger and irritation is what you do to you.

          Maybe you don't have to forgive but you can say to yourself that she doesn't have the power over you you do.

          Breathe, let her do what ever she does for what ever reason but you take care of you.

          Straight folk are not normally good to fall for even a little bit. Good friends, confidants, sure but be real careful with words like "love" and "affection". From what I've seen the straights get itchy as soon as they show up.

          Big Hugs,

          Rig Daddy
          • :) Thank you for the hug. I think I'm getting closer to being done with the anger and irritation. It's difficult because I have to see her with the guy she's dating on a weekly basis. But I'm getting better and better.

            And you are right... I have made a rule for myself in the future... ONLY to allow feelings for women who are out. :) I do think she is attracted to women, and I do think she's scared of standing out, or what people will think of her. But that's her issue to deal with, not mine.
