Let me explain. I used to think I was straight, silly me. Well everyone finds women attractive, right? Then, at age 26 I fell in love with a natural-born woman for the first and only time! We were best friends. We never got into a serious relationship and aren't very close anymore, but I am still glad to have had that experience. Also, my recent ex came out as a transgender woman a few years ago. I still loved her of course, that didn't change anything. But she never treated me right. Seven years together, I continually had to convince myself that she loved me. Her actions didn't show it. Now, I'm in a wonderful relationship. I've been with my boyfriend, Ryan, for three months now. He treats me right. Now, I wouldn't go back to allowing myself to being treated so poorly. Having a girlfriend in addition, would be nice, though ;)
Here is a picture of me with Maria, who I fell in love with at 26:
