I am sorry my question ended up being so weird and maybe patronising. I was actually trying to gain some understanding for myself, to work through a relationship issue I am having. I wasn't meaning to be a weird nosey ghoul. I just found, the question was so big that I could not find a way to articulate it properly.
What people shared did help, and thank you all.

Mel, to me it just underscored how alike people are. When I got divorced from my hetero marriage, I was all focused on how other people would _____________. That is really what kept my sick self from taking the step for a long time. Now I see it is irrelevant what anyone else thought. Good old hindsight.
Wonder away. You're doing fine.
I didn't participate in that thread only because I had no ESH! I didn't see your post as offensive tho - just so you know!
I did read it as more inquisitive in nature...hope this makes sense! Evening is not prime time for me!!!
(((Hugs))) to ya!

Missmeliss, I agree with Iamhere, did not respond because I did not have any ESH with which to draw on. But like the others, I did not take offense at all.
