lesbian.Theresa Rose, 36, from Portland, Oregon - who prefers to go by her middle name, Rose - said she was always unhappy in her marriage, however couldn't figure out why.However, after having a threesome with her husband and another woman back in 2020, she discovered what she was missing.Rose says the encounter made her realise how 'emotionally shallow' her relationship with her husband was, compared to the instant 'connection' she felt with the woman.This led her to divorce her husband, and three weeks later she began dating a woman named Jacqui Mettle."Experiencing that intimate interaction with a woman for the first time, the physical and emotional depth was [so intense]," Rose told the New York Post."I was like, 'Oh my God, this is what’s been missing.' After being with that woman, I said to myself, 'This is why I’ve been so unhappy in my marriage.'"My relationship with my husband, emotionally, felt so shallow and lonely compared to my connection with the woman."Rose says she was raised in a very Catholic family, and was told from a young age that 'all gays go to Hell.'She admits the strict upbringing forced her to hide her feelings towards women, until she couldn't deny them any longer.Rose's husband - who has not been named for privacy reasons - was unfortunately not supportive when she told him about her realisation.She said he 'got really nasty' and outed her to her 'very conservative' parents, as well as their mutual friends and Bible study group.Many of her loved ones didn't take the news well, which Rose said led her down a very dark path - with the the mum even admitting that she contemplated suicide.However, quickly after, she met Jacqui - who she says 'saved her life'.The couple have been together for.
