    This morning, after all my worrying and waiting and planning, I came out to my wife of 9 years. She was wonderfully kind and I am the luckiest guy to have her. I am still in shock but telling her has been the best thing I have ever done.
    I'm not sure what the future holds for us, but I know I have done the right thing.
    Thanks for the support of everyone on this forum.

    I think it's a step in the right direction, it would have been bad if you never told her anything and lived a lie for the rest of your life

    Congratulations. I know it was probably difficult, but you've got the happiness of both of you to be concerned about. Good luck with whatever the future may hold for the both of you.

    Congrats on telling your wife. It's definitely a step in the right direction. It's great that she took it so well and will be supportive of you it seems. :slight_smile:

    Way Cool Scott! Yes you did do the right thing. I am so glad that she took it so well. It speaks to her maturity and love for you. You will probably experience the same roller coaster ride that I did after coming out to my wife four months ago. You will have good days and bad days and as time goes on you will have way more good days. It's going to get way better. I'm proud of you because I know how difficult that was.:icon_bigg
