Lesbians Only How does your old phase of life compare to your new one?

To all those who have lived in heterosexual relationships or marriages for years and are now in a same-sex relationship:

How are you feeling emotionally? Do you often think back to your past life, the changes you've gone through, your family life back then, etc.? Do you sometimes miss it, or are you so entrenched that you don't even think about it and can simply enjoy your new relationship?

Coming out was extremely scary for me. But once I did, I felt so liberated. However, it would take a few more months before I felt completely comfortable as a lesbian. Although most people welcomed my new orientation, my very conservative mother did not. We didn't speak for weeks. In short, she eventually accepted my partner (now my wife) and loved her like her own daughter. We eventually joined a lesbian Meet-Up where we were able to meet other lesbians, and having lesbian friends helped me tremendously with my new realization. I don't have any bad memories of my time being straight, except for the end of my marriage to a man (cheating). I'm actually glad I had that experience. But I also know that no matter what happens, I have been with my last man.
