Knowingly Married A Lesbian, We Just Celebrated 10 Years Together

After law school, a regional state supported school, I passed the bar, just barely. The placement of graduates was pretty low, starving was the normal outcome. After a long frustrating look, living at my parents, I got a job as a paralegal for a local three attorneys office. "We'll do anything for a dollar" firm.

The receptionist was outstandingly beautiful, to me. Makes your heart stop, blabber. I was nervous talking with her. She was soooo nice, polite, a perfect daughter, sister, wife type girl. And then I found out she was one of those, she danced with other girls. First off I didn't believe it, but time was she did dance with other girls.

My infatuation with her didn't leave me. I persisted, until she became friends with me. Her male friend confidant. In time she talked about Mary. They had been together for a couple of years, Mary was a hairdresser from Pennsylvania. Listening to her, it sounded like a relationship headed for disaster. And I would be beside her to pick up the pieces.

My predictions came true, in the form of cheating. Mary it seems wasn't monogamous. I told my sweetie, pick me, I worship you, I have a future, I'm a lawyer. You don't have to do this, you can have me, I love you. Well, in a moment of weakness she eloped with me.

Not knowing her background my family and friends were amazed I had landed this beauty. My coworkers were different. A leopard can't change its spots. We couldn't continue to work together, nepotism, but the partners helped her find work for another firm, more focused on real estate.

Home life was structured, sex life was cold and frigid. Apologizing was often, followed by "you knew this, you insisted". She begged for time but time didn't help. Maybe we could have a sexless marriage. At least with each other. She gave me permission, just don't tell her. I didn't, couldn't. She didn't, she wasn't going to ruin it. We went to a sexologist, one who specialized with lesbians who were married.

We got pregnant, started a family. I got a real lawyer job for another outfit. Income increased, she became a housewife. With two munchkins she kept busy. Her therapist helped a lot, she wasn't 'fishy'. Ten years later we had a real party, the kids seven and five squeezed into the picture. Ten years, a real beauty. A good wife too. A great mom and homemaker. Per her she doesn't cheat, not ever. Sees her therapist monthly.

So here it is, I knowingly married a lesbian, she knowingly married a man. I never went looking, she depends on her therapist. Together we walk, together we have a home with children. One day at a time.
