Anyone planning to watch Oprah tomorrow and up for a discussion of the show? They had husbands, boyfriends…then, they fell in love with women. Plus, why women are falling hard for Work Out's Jackie Warner. (PG)
Tune in on 03/25 to watch this show Women Leaving Men for Other WomenHere |

Sounds fascinating... also somewhat similar to a piece Tyra Banks did not long ago about lesbians courting straight girls, and succeeding at it!
I didn't get a chance to watch, any comment from those who did?

I saw most of the episode. I need to go back and re watch it as I missed some of it. But I liked the scale used based on the Kinsey ? Report 1-6 of sexual fluidity. I think I'm probably about a 4-5. I've been on the Oprah boards watching the conversation and, of course, the Bible totters are there in their "limited" experience of life type mind frame. When I say this I mean they don't question authority and find the answers for themselves. I know that's kinda a sweeping generalization but I came from strong catholic life of going to church, etc.
Anyhow there is some nastiness going on from some viewers saying they were spouses and that to leave a marriage for this reason is "selfish". And, so it's not selfish for a hetero in marriage to leave because they fell in love with another hetero? It's a real interesting read for sure.
I'd like to see Oprah follow up on this show somehow. I'd like to have a longer dialog about it.
For me I've never been into labels all my life because I believe you fall in love with a person not a particular sex. But my experience so far has me only falling in real love twice and they were both women. I've dated lots of guys but never had all those feelings one should have and I'm not discounting there isn't a man out there who could make me feel that way because I think it's a possibility. The one point which I wish had been discussed in more detail was that emotional connection these women felt with another woman as opposed to the connection they had with their male marriage partners.
