Betty, take a breath - Ladies, hold on to your panties.  O Magazine (yes I mean Oprah) has a feature entitled "Why Women are Leaving Men for Other Women" tracking the phenom of straight women opting for lesbian relationships later in life.  This was our experience in Cuba and in LA.  Women who had been married and had children opted for a sapphic relationship mid-life.  Here's some of the thinking behind the "why":

...experts like Binnie Klein, a Connecticut-based psychotherapist and lecturer in Yale's department of psychiatry, agree that alternative relationships are on the rise. "It's clear that a change in sexual orientation is imaginable to more people than ever before, and there's more opportunity-and acceptance-to cross over the line," says Klein, noting that a half-dozen of her married female patients in the past few years have fallen in love with women. "Most are afraid that if they don't go for it, they'll end up with regrets."

Women clearly understand that there are many lifestyle and sexstyle choices available to them.  Wonderful!
