A Comparison of Relationship Satisfaction, Social Support, and Stress Between Women with First and Prior Same-Sex Relationships

The purpose of this Internet-based study was to determine differences between women in their first same-sex relationships and women who have had same-sex relationships prior to their current relationship. Participants included 754 women within the United States and Canada who were at least 18 years of age and were in an ongoing same-sex relationship of at least six months. Women in first same-sex relationships reported significantly less self-disclosure, fewer years of self-awareness of sexual identity, and less relationship satisfaction but more stress than women with prior same-sex relationship histories. First same-sex relationship status uniquely predicted relationship satisfaction, indicating that women with prior same-sex relationships reported greater relationship satisfaction. As expected, relationship duration, differences in outness, internalized homophobia, and social support of significant other all predicted relationship satisfaction.
