Is it normal to be afraid to commit

I'm 40. After a 20 year relationship with my husband I decided I was sick of pretending and sneaking around and leave him and be me. A lesbian. For 14 of our years together I cheated with women. In the 3 years since we broke up I have had 2 relationships and am currently single Lately I am so lonely and depressed I think I will never be in a meaningful relationship. When I get hit on I flirt a little and give my number out but when I get calls I don't answer. Is this normal

    Yes it is normal. I think you need to appreciate what you have (because you obviously didn't when you had your husband) be happy & don't down yourself. Be gay! (happy lol). There's no reason for you to feel sad or lonely when you get calls or w.e. At least you are being chased instead of people wanting to kill you because of your preference in women (in other countries you would) Be happy that you can practice the way you live without ever having to cover it up. There's so many thing you can be happy about. Don't look in the past because there's nothing you can change there. The only thing you can change is your future! Be strong & I bet you will find a loving lady to love you! & if you dont, then you were better off alone anyways.
    Live it up, life goes on.

    Best Wishes,

    S.

    You're right. It's called "cruel lib". Sometimes we need the freedom of our chains. I read an article about a man who came out. Turns out he was not handsome enough are tough enough to live in the "gay" world. He found it to be superficial and another form of misery. Look before you leap!

    Sometimes it's better to hide in the closet. You're experiencing "cruel lib".
