    Congratulations, @faithgrime!

    What's the dilemma? Parents are often less than delighted by their kid's choice of life partner. Given time, that almost always changes.

    My husband and I have many unsettled issues. I just realized that I have also contributed negatively to our relationship. I am my own demons to win, and I'm relieved that I have finally acknowledged my true self. If it's not for an article that I read, I would not have the strength to tell him that ours is over and I need to find my own true love.

    OK you are treading murky waters here. First, maybe you should legally divorce before you move on to another relationship (same sex or otherwise).

    Have you just realized that you are a lesbian? Or have you changed your sexual orientation lately?
    Looks like you are legally married and in an heterosexual relationship for a considerable long time. You also have a teen daughter in this relationship, right?

    Never mind. Your sexual orientation is your right (subject to the place you live in).
    If you wanna exercise your right, then you should legally divorce your H. Speak to him and convince him by telling your sexual orientation first.
    Then approach a good lawyer to process the divorce case. He/she will guide you how best you could lodge this case.
    Think about your child's custody. Whom do you think would be the best care-taker to your teen girl?
    If you are to fight the legal battle for custody, then you should be careful about revealing your sexual orientation and marriage with your lover. It may backfire depending on where you live. Also, the societal acceptance matters too. Think about it.
    You may reveal it once the legal battle is over or so....

    I am not sure whether you still expect your family's and society's acceptance for your marriage. But if so, you must start linking with someone who is reasonable and who can understand your POV.

    But I wouldn't advice anyone to end their present marriage just for sex. That too after a long relationship with kids involved. Marriage has got so much than sexual pleasure.
    But it is again depending on the individuals and their own POV. So, I respect it.
    I believe that your marriage suffered many other problems than you being a lesbian... Even if that is not the case, I think your H deserves a good wife too.
    So, better divorce him and if possible give your kid's legal custody to him, so that your route will be easily cleared.
    Good luck

    So you are married before, and now you are in a new relationship? It's kinda confusing really

    I am a bit confused about the situation as well, but congratulations! I do hope things work out for you in the coming new year. Where do you live by the way?
