And you do think of yourself as married. I know unmarried het couples who occasionally refer to their partner as their 'wife' etc, just for ease of conversation among strangers (although that drives me crazy, for reasons you will understand).<BR/>Personally, I can't say "Yes I'm married' but perhaps in that circumstance I would have said something like "I live with someone" or "I have a partner".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24519117.post-88580076820005080112007-02-10T21:06:00.000+10:002007-02-10T21:06:00.000+10:00That was well-written.I hate it when people say 'a...That was well-written.<BR/><BR/>I hate it when people say 'are you married?', full stop, and I'm straight. Hate being pigeonholed, being judged by your marital status. I don't think you should feel bad lying in response to this question, esp to man who was probably hitting on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24519117.post-62906353696738231692007-02-10T20:53:00.000+10:002007-02-10T20:53:00.000+10:00I'm straight, but here's my thoughts - just becaus...I'm straight, but here's my thoughts - just because you are a lesbian doesn't mean that that is the main thing that defines you, and that you have to make it your mission to educate the world. It is perfectly okay for you to keep it to yourself at times - if you felt you needed to disclose your sexuality to everyone that would become exhausing for you "hello, can I have a cappucino, and I'm a lesbian". "Half a dozen nectarines please, oh and I'm a lesbian". Be gentle on yourself, you aren't betraying LoverGirl or other lesbians by sometimes keeping it quiet. We all keep things to ourselves sometimes - I haven't told my husband that I have a crush on my dentist, for example!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
