Sorry so late for the introduction
 
Hi Everyone *waves

I'm new and just now getting around to introducing myself in this forum.

I'm a chat refugee from another chat site and so happy to have found you guys. This place is awesome! :flowers:

I am a 40-something returning college student, working on my BS and AS in nonprofit mgmt and business, respectively. I also work from home for a website and have a side job that is developing. On top of this, I care for my aging mother who I fondly refer to as Godzilla. And yet...I still find time to chat :hanging:

I'm a simple femme, working on developing my cooking skills, balancing life as well as I can, and looking forward to my move to California to live (finally) with my g/f and hero, graham. :married:

Thank you everyone for being so welcoming, fun, and respectful. This has been a great experience so far and I look forward to the new chat forum coming up today. :jester:

When you are writing your message, do you see a bar with the font, the size etc? If you don't, try clicking the double A/A on the far right. Or, you can try clicking the smilies to the right. The MORE link will pop up a box with a bunch of smilies. (f)

I actually did all that ..went to the MOre section link and copied the smilie...maybe that's what I did wrong...well for now I'll just use the old fashion simple ones like this :-)

Just stepping in to say hi to everyone, probably won't be on very often, but it's nice to know this place is here, and it's nice to see faces from the former chat site. :cigar2:

Degotoga 02-25-2013 06:34 PM

Hello Planet!
 
I've taken this in reverse order because I've wandered about and posted a few times before stopping by to say hello. Not exactly the best way to start, huh?

Anyway, I'm not sure what to say so, rather than ramble, I'll bid you adieu for now. I look forward to getting to know people and sharing a little about myself in return.

I'd also like to thank the site owners for creating a safe place for all of us to come together as one.

See y'all around!

Are you trying to upload your photo as an avatar or as a signature? You have to be a paid member to have a personal avatar. Otherwise you just use the ones that are available under "User CP"

I could swear I belonged to this site before.. or one very similar in name and layout. Does one perhaps, get booted if one goes dormant for years?

I have already posted all over about my critters, my faults, my femme ways and such. Lots has happened since I joined so its a good thing I have missed it till now. I have said farewell to the butch so I am kinda just Baby or FarmingBaby lol. I gained a roomie and thanks to everything holy I will say farewell to her in the morning. So it is just me 7 horses, 20 hens, 10 roosters, 15 head of cattle and 4 pigs!! Its finally time lol. I love this place and the threads give me much joy. Thanks!

Hallo this is LittleAudrey
 
Hallo Butch Femme Planet-

A friend<3 of mind referred me to this site and I thought I would check it out :) In the past I have posted on the AskJoanne website and so this forum is completely new to me.

I am a divorced mother with two children aged 6 & 8. About 6-7 years ago I was very unhappy in my marriage and fell in love with a woman. This caused me to question my sexuality and I started to realize some things about my past and actions/behavior in the past (attractions to women). I started coming out at as a lesbian. My first futile attempts at experimenting with the object of my affections were unrefuted. After about a year of remorseful contemplation I was actually introduced through a mutual friend to a butch truck driver whom I had a torrid 6 month "affair" with (for lack of better words). I fell in love with her and wanted to leave my marriage and be with her. She didn't really want a relationship with me and so "ended" it with me. She "broke up" with me and another woman moved in her house with her. I was heartbroken. It literally took me 2-3 years to get over this. I was anguished. I was tormented. I revisited every single moment in my head over and over again every night and couldn't live with it. Finally after much struggle I decided to leave the marriage. Even if I couldn't be with "her", maybe I would have the chance of being with another woman who loved me. So, 5 years ago I moved myself and my children and my possessions into an apartment on my own. I hired and attorney and filed for a divorce with joint custody for our two children. At this time I struck up a renewed "friendship" or acquaintance so to speak with the first woman I had ever been with (lets just be honest and say that my hopes were to always really get back with her somehow). Eventually the woman who was living with her moved out and they "broke up." I spent more and more time over at her place as a "friend" (always hoping for more) but there was never any physical intimacy. I always slept in her bed and she always slept on the couch. If there were one or two physical encounters she was drugged out - passed out. However, in my gradual growth over the last couple of years I came to realize that she just wasn't really the woman I was meant to be with. She didn't love me back and respect me the way a mutual relationhsip should be. I was doing a lot of caretaking and not receiving anything in return. Our lifestyles are too different and it just didn't work out. I started to feel used. What streamed sort of during and after this was a string of unhealthy, short term dating relationships in which I was always the one in love with someone who was a total "player", "drug addict", etc. etc. After about a year of giving and never receiving I got tired of it and finally decided that I should move on and could do better. It was at the point where I was providing so much and verbally abused and assaulted in return. I gave it a good chance, as much as I could for as long as I could, I really really tried but it just didn't work out. I started building a new base of healthier friends and branching out more into the social scene in my area instead of always being behind closed doors with her. I made new friends which take an awesome trip to Pensacola each Memorial Day weekend. I met some younger sporty women and had some flings but they never panned out because there was always an ex that was involved who they went back to, or they couldn't do an "long distance relationship", etc.

Then about 5 months ago this same mutual friend requested that I go out on a date with a "friend" of her "friend." I was really hesitant to any hopes at first - but after our initial meeting I was ecstatic to be associating with a lesbian who was stable, had a viable career, no apparent mental or drug issues, etc.. . . I didn't know these kind of lesbians exsisted. She actually wants to be in a relationship with me, is patient with my children, and I love her very much. We actually even went to the same undergraduate school, only five years apart and so we missed eachother. I continue to grow closer with her and feel like I could talk with her about anything. I have been working on myself with a lot of personal growth in transitioning from a stay-at-home mother to a full time career. She is darth denkay, a tomboy :) I am excited about what the future will bring. I am looking forward to spending time with her this summer on our annual Pensacola trip with friends, as well as a special vacation we have planned with the kids.

Anyways, that is my whole life story in a page or less (mius the growing up part:). Just wanted to introduce myself and say hallo - that is my story.

wahya 03-26-2013 03:31 AM

Hello from Mass.
 
I would like to say a Hey how are you all doing? Newbie here!

nanners 03-26-2013 04:48 AM

I'm doing it a little backwards too...I registered a long time ago, and then didn't come back except on rare occasions, and now I have started posting and checking the site most every day...so I guess I am here to stay! :cheesy:

Some of you might know me from ButchFemme.com days or BFD days...I was Nan45 or Nan on those sites...I live in Minnesota and right now I am single, and have been for quite awhile. I am working on some major things in my life that I want to improve before re-entering any kind of romantic relationship. I just want to be able to present the best "me" that i can be, and be free of any heartaches or things that hold me back from fully participating in a relationship. I want to make myself, and my future partner proud of who I am, a woman that reaches for her goals and succeeds!

Friends and Family...without them I'd wither up and die. They mean the world to me. I have a very "functional" family, we are very close and get together once a month or so. My parents are both still alive (Thank God!) and are actually quite young to have a daughter as old as I am! LOL! I have a brother who is married to the most wonderful sister-in-law int he world, and a nephew who has cerebral palsy, and a niece that is graduatign from high school this year...and I have a 91 year old grandma that I dearly love.

OK, time to stop, hope to see y'all in the threads! :loveBFP:
