Hmm. Maybe I can help. Lol.

Okay, what strikes me is this:

the thing I apparently clearly haven't accepted yet is the lack of attraction to men

You could break it down like this:

1- is the feeling related to other people? (what they think of you/what they expect/wanting to fit in) 2- or is it personal? (your own expectations/ideals/wishes)

What would being attracted to men give you that you feel you're lacking right now? (simplicity/security/a sense of belonging/...?)

Once you've identified what your actual need is, you can work on fulfilling it in other ways :)

Great questions! I honestly think it's both 1 and 2, despite being more of 1 than 2. I was never a rebel kind of girl. I was always that kind of person who wants do the right things the right way since I was a kid. I enjoy following the 'rules'. Being homosexual kind of challenged me in a way it was perceived as something 'bad' and with stigma, whereas having a husband and kids would be the ""right"" thing to do according to society, you know? It was also very hard for me because of how society still perceives homosexuality. And also what people expect of me and wanting to fit in. Thanks a lot!! :)
