I thought it was about time that I made myself a little better known on the site. A few reasons being that my partner Linda, who some of you already know, is usually on for both of us and as we are starting up the Melbourne support group, I thought it appropriate to spend some time on the f2b site also! Another reason is to tell ,those of you who don’t already know, how I came to be here.

Well Linda and I met in a fundamental pentecostal church about 15yrs ago and were friends for most of that time. We saw each other get married, have children and supported each other when we got our prospective divorces! I had been seperated from my husband for almost two years when Linda and I began an amazing friendship. We became ‘best friends’ during this time, spending lots of time together. I had always admired her immensley as a person with a loving, caring and compassionate nature and I found myself thinking of her often. After Linda seperated from her husband I found myself in a place I never had considered before, I realised that my feelings had become ones of love and deep affection not just as a friend! Wow! This really blew me away! The funny thing was that I would normally call her with things like this but this was about her! After a few days pondering I finally txt her with my revelation and consequently blew her away! We began what has become the most amazing life together. We are sickeningly blissful after 20months together. Although not all smooth sailing, as we have blended our children’s lives together, I came out to my very conservative christian parents and 4 born again sisters! ( that is another story right there!) We believe we are where we are meant to be, on this journey together as lovers, partners and ultimately best friends! I am a true believer that you cannot control who you fall in love with, in my case not just my best friend but a woman! We are travelling an unknown path , as far as our faith is concerned, however two things are certain. The first is knowing that we are loved and the second is that we are in this together, and there is no-one else I would rather do it with! Cheers Michelle

Hi Michelle

thats amazing how your life has gorn and how you have both been freinds all these years.

now you are parteners.

good one .

yes welcome to the forum. I love the diversity of our community. Often our stories are dramatic and tragic. But of course this need not always be the case and with time they will become less frequent. I guess it will be sign of progress when they have diminished. I’m sure there was trauma along the way for you though at some point.

As research has shown, geniune bisexuality is much more prevalent amongst the female population it is not uncommon for ladies who are best friends with each other to fall in love and partner. This is very hard to imagine happening with a couple of blokes who are best mates unless they were gay.

So I guess i’m wondering if you have any insight into your own journey here that might help others. That is some women have always been lesbian but were in a heterosexual marriage. (like me…except i wasn’t a lesbian of course 😆 ), some women were in a heterosexual marriage and later identified that they were lesbian, then some have never identified as lesbian but have just known love of individuals of either sex.

Hi Michelle,

Just came across your story. It's obvious you and Linda have a very special relationship, one that is founded is such a strong friendship gives a good foundation. Together I'm sure you can overcome anything. The way you two got together is quiet amazing. I think you were meant to be and blessed by God.

Sorry to hear the telling your sister's didn't go to well. Wonderful your father was so supportive and said the right things at the right time for you. As they say you can't choose your family. Hopefully a few years down the track things are a little better with your sister.

Would love to hear more of your story. You and Linda have both come along way from the early days of joining F2B, I'm sure a lots happen that could possibly bless and help other's.

Hope you are Linda will be at the Mardi Gras, my hubby and I are coming down this year to march with our son and other F2Ber's would be great to meet you both.

God Bless 🙂
