The ‘About You’ Page
Posted under Being RSG by Recovering Straight GirlI am lucky to receive a lot of e-mails from ladies all over who are also Recovering Straight Girls in different stages of their awakening. Sometimes I get e-mails from their former male partners with questions, sometimes I get hateful comments but not usually. I feel fortunate that other RSG’s have found this site and hopefully found some people and/or other blogs to connect to and get information.
Some amazing women have left me their stories on the About You Page. Some send them to me privately, but I am always amazed at the strength and power that is in their stories. If you haven’t read the comments on the About You Page–do.
If you are an RSG and feel comfortable sharing your story with either me privately or in the comment section of that page, please do. It’s an amazing journey and one that most women feel as though they are taking alone.
I was happy to see that some ladies popped over to this site from the Ask Joanne Board.
I haven’t read the posts at length but it looks like a lot of good information for RSG’s and a good resource for ladies who are just discovering where to go from here.
No one is alone–it just may feel like it sometimes. There is always someone near by to hear your pain and lend a hand.
As close as your keyboard.
You’ve created a special place, RSG, it goes beyond just being a blog. Haven’t looked at the About page before, but looking forward to it when I get some time.
You’re going to give props to Ask Joanne women?
Women who are not leaving their husbands, but are quite fine with having it both ways?
Women that are kicking around the idea of going to Single Women’s Weekend in Provincetown?
Are they single??? No. They have husbands AND girlfriends and still that isn’t enough? Where Joanne enables them and invites them to cities where there is gay pride.
What gay pride would a woman who think’s she’s a lesbian have while she’s married to a man???
Shame on you for even mentioning Ask Joanne. I thought you were one of the honest ones.
Wow, maybe ‘Oh Really’ needs a bit of that Xanax so she can chill out a little bit. She seems really full of sweeping generalizations and stereotypes– two things I detest.
What I wanted to say is that I know it would have been wonderful to know that someone else was going through the things I was going through. You help people every day without even knowing it.
Gosh “Oh Really”. Shaming me?
I must be honest, I don’t know much about the Ask Joanne site except what I saw on Oprah and a little of her book. The posts that I did read were women who were going through some very difficult times–divorces, custody battles, and other things that women go through when they are re-inventing their lives.
I am honest “Oh Really”–that’s one thing for sure.
And non-judgmental.
People are all on their own path and it is not my or your place to judge them.
Ah yes, the recovering straight girl…I fell in love with Tracy when I was 31 and we have been together almost 9 years. No women before, and hopefully, no anyone after….hopefully, there won’t be an after.
Now, we are raising my niece and nephew…as of January this year…all this just to prove that you never know what life will bring, but if you can be flexible and grow, there is so much to learn!
I found the Ask Joanne site a long time ago. It offers a door to meet and read about people you don’t think exist when you’re being smothered in your own worries and fears.
I love this site, RSG. I come here every single day to read about you and your story. It helps me dream and wish for what I want. I find it inspiring and amazing. I also appreciate the gateway to other places you offer to read and realize…..
Thank you for your time, your advice, and that you realized who you are and what you want to be….and thank you for the hope you’ve given me.
Wow, Oh really. I totally hear you. I mean I think it’s great that you can not know a single thing about the RSG and yet know her so well. I mean, like when I, a straight woman *GASP*, needs an honest friend, one who will tell me exactly what she thinks and with every ounce of love in her heart, and I call RSG, and I get that… wait… I can’t even be sarcastic about this shit. Oh really, I can’t even find the funny/ stupid element to your comment because it’s just so plain wrong.
Sorry, RSG, I know I should have been snarky here, but there’s no snark, just sort of my mouth hanging open at that comment.
And just that I think it’s so jacked up that we’re all supposed to know what we are from moment one and go with that feeling for the rest of our lives. I think it’s so lame that people can’t be confused about things.
Or that people can’t make shitty decisions. Or that other people’s shitty decisions somehow call RSG’s honesty into question. How does that work?
How does it work that a woman sleeps with the person of her choice, and suddenly she has to wear that label for the rest of her life? I don’t get it.
I’m taking this way too personally, aren’t I?
You must be bisexual, melissa lion, this has nothing to do with your inability to pick.
I wouldn’t care to get to know anyone from the internet over the internet. I enjoy real life.
RSG posting about Ask Joanne, endorsing if you will, is a tradegy. It’s nice you have all the other brainwashed once married individuals getting your back.
Why would you basically advertise for the enemy?
Why is it ok for women married to man that think they are lesbians to go and take perfectly good lesbians away from other lesbians?
If endorsing AJ is you being honest, I guess the liars, cheaters and frauds on AJ are better than you. At least they aren’t hiding behind the idea that they actually did right. They just hide behind their husband.
I have no time to address this right now Oh Really–but I certainly will later. And I will check out the Ask Joanne site with care before I do.
But for the record I will quickly add these few points. Melissa’s sexual orientation is irrelevant, she and I are friends IRL, not just on the internet, I was not endorsing or advertising for anyone, and I don’t think that there is any shortage of lesbians to go around for everyone. Hell, new ones come out every day.
Until later.
Oh dear, oh really. Sure, good, I’m bisexual. And RSG is dishonest.
And you are a nut.
And you don’t want to get to know anyone on the internet? Then why read blogs?
Interesting…..”Oh Really” enjoys real life, but comes here more than 1 time to post….Humm.
Funny that RSG, Melissa and most everyone here can be contacted by clicking on their name. CLEARLY NOT HIDING behind anything but, oh wait…..”Oh Really” can not be contacted. Who is the one that is hiding?
RSG, I hope you dont take this toxic person to heart.
There is always that one bad apple that tries to ruin the entire bag….lets just feed it to the wormies.
Miss seeing you and HG!!
i love that you are here.
You are a breath of fresh air, thanks for being here.
OH REALLY? No, Anne Heche saying she is a Lesbian again is a Tragedy. RSG posting about Ask JoAnne is just a blog post.
Wow! I just found your blog. It’s so wonderful to know there’s someone else out here going through the same thing I am!
