46y [F4M] Hit me with your success stories

Hey,

it has taken me 20+ years of marriage and 10 years of DB, working through guilt, therapy and counselling, and generally refusing to give up hope, to finally step out and look for an AP on these subs.

I need to hear some success stories to bring back the optimist in me.

I hope this kind of post is allowed here. Any hope here?
