Was it Time Wasted?

“Yeah I am as transparent as they come.” Bette says sarcastically.
“Honey you’ll be okay.” Tina says lightly rubs Bette arms to calm her nerves a bit.
Yeah you’ll be okay Bette. It may get heavy at moments but I’ll lighten thing up for you every once in a while. Have you every heard my show?”
“A couple of times. We aren’t big local radio listeners.”
“Well, I hope to change that today. At least I’ll get you to tune into my show on the regular.” says Alice, they both smile back at her. “Let’s get started, shall we?” Alice presses the button to the control room intercom. “Okay Susan let’s get on with the show.”
Susan the sound room technician “Okay, one, two, three, you are now recording.”
“Hello ladies and gentleman. We can’t leave you lovely gentlemen listeners out. This is Alice in WeHoLand USA coming to you today with two lovely ladies. Bette and Tina two of WeHoine’s very own Sapphic Sisters. Say hi to the ladies.”
“Hi to the ladies!” They both say in unison and lightly giggle.
“I like these two already. Since the show is only fifteen minutes in length we are going to spread this out as long as it takes to let them share their story with us. This broadcast is about coming out later in life. What I mean by that is someone over the age of forty coming out as gay, lesbian or bisexual. We are going to talk about the challenges and victories that were had along the way and whatever comes to mind as I get them open up and share what they want to share with us.” turning to look at Bette and Tina “Okay first question as inquiring minds may want to know, how do you two label yourselves.”
“Honestly, I hate labels” says Tina
“But technically she’s bisexual.” say Bette “And I am gay, since birth.” she chuckles. “Well fully acknowledged it since I finished college.”
“True, I would see myself more I bisexual, but I have been in love with this woman here for almost thirty years.”
“Wow that’s a long time. But you too haven’t been together for that long, have you?” say Alice.

It was courageous of you to share your story with us. Things happen in our lives for a reason and they help shape who we are now. I wish you happiness and peace.
This is my first time leaving a comment. I enjoyed your story. I related to some of this story. Here’s to a new chapter and may your journey be an amazing one!
Thanks for sharing the story and wisdom “…They were a time of learning and preparation for the good to come in your life…” :-) very touching and encouraging. Well, you might be shy as you said, and I really don’t know you, but I believe that you are a brave one ;-) proven by sharing this story and openly telling this is based on your experience. Wishing you happiness and love.. :-)
You were brave to share a part of yourself with us. I can so truly relate to your story. I am 44 years old, and I have known of my attraction to women since I was about eight years old, but has never been with a woman, lead the so call normal life for about 10 years from the age of 14-24 and then just left the whole scene alone and decided to just be alone,not fair to men and too much drama with women. Good Luck to you. And yes please an update on “Stripper”, I love that story.
I’m glad that a number of you can relate to this story in some way. I know a lot of us read for pure entertainment and to escape a little bit. But I also like to read to gain a little insight sometimes. As a shy person, I tend to be very introspect, too much in my head. As you can tell by the way that I write :) So one day when that special woman comes into my life I hope that I don’t over think things too much. :) Thanks for the well wishes. I am looking forward to loving again, the right person. Best wishes to those who search as well.
How brave you are. It takes an amazing person to see themselves as clear as you do. Best wishes on your journey to your true self…I hope you find more happiness along the way.
It takes some courage to write the way you have. I hope you feel better for it! Your handle makes a whole lot of sense now and I too wish you the very best on the journey you have embarked on :0)
I wish you happiness.Thank you for this story.
WOW, I LOVED THIS STORY! Thank you so much! x
I see myself in your story. Thank you for sharing and making me see the light.
What an excellent story and how brave you are. Thank you for sharing with us.
Glad to see your post and WoW! Such fortitude and insightful story, revealing too! Perception of God, faith and love is a cause of many struggles and debates; thank you for sharing a glimpse in your journey. Any way to have realization sooner rather than later is great! Please don’t take long to update the other story.
Got to the end of the story and realized I was crying. I could insert my name for Tina’s… 3 kids, a 19-year marriage ending after my ex cheated, and a similar “Bette” in my past. Thanks for sharing your experience and I agree with you about not regretting the past. From one shy, over-thinker to another, I wish you love and happiness on your journey. I hope you find someone
hey it was a beatiful story, and thank you for shering that with us, I hope that you find love again.
Thanks
