A Necessary Blog

Hello Ladies.

First of all, let me begin by saying that I am not a real doctor. I am a real lesbian though, and I have been going though hell for the past month. My reason for starting this blog is simple - after my girlfriend broke up with me out of the blue, I felt very lost, depressed, and well, if you have gone through it or are currently going through it, you can relate and add all of the adjectives you want. I became desperate for information and advice and turned to the internet to search for lesbian break up stories and counsel that I could relate to and use. I was astonished not only at the lack of resources, but how generic most of them were. I already know what I am feeling, I don't need someone to describe that to me or gives me tips on surviving. I wanted to hear stories of other women going through the same thing and how they are getting through. Even searching for information on how to get your ex back and all that was frustrating - most writers were blindly placing blame on the demise of the relationship through things like bed death, fighting, cheating, etc. My situation was unique to all of this in my mind, and these "5 easy steps" or "ask her to coffee" scenarios were just not ringing true to me. I also had no interest in buying a book or downloading a guide to help me get her back (though I would love for that to happen). I was disgusted by how a tough time for me was potentially a business opportunity for others. Where was the honest advice? You can be assured that I will not be selling you advice here.

It is my goal with this blog to share my story and progress with you. All of my friends and family have told me that things get better with time and all that, but I really am looking forward to chronicling this journey here and having people on it with me. I know where I am starting right now, and I want a record of the progress so I can see how far I have come down the road. If you found this blog, you probably searched information on lesbian break ups too. Let's figure this stuff out together. I want people to comment and feel like they have a place to vent or just to relate what's going on with their lives. I am not a "break up guru" here, but I have always enjoyed other people and their stories. I will reply to every comment. As far as my own story, I will be telling it without naming names and trying to keep emotion out of it unless necessary to describe myself. I still do consider my ex to be a wonderful woman, no matter how hurt I am, and this is not intended to be a bashing session. I want to understand a break up as much as anyone else, and come through it alright on the other side. In my next entry, I will tell you my story.
