Hello all, It has certainly been a while. I just needed to share this to spread some hope (maybe?) and also to speak to people who will understand. I got horribly upset for weeks and couldn't figure out why. One day I told myself, today is the day I have to tell my husband I am gay but in the front of my head never thought I would actually go through with it...until I saw him. I blurted it out, we talked for about a weekend. He knows. I am gay. He was and still is being incredibly supportive. Not angry, not upset. Happy that I can be myself and he can go on to find someone who is straight. We still love each other greatly and have realised what good friends we are. We intend to remain living together for now but his reaction could not have been any better. What a wonderful person I married. I have also now come out to my sister and BIL, mum and dad. Massive step for me, never thought I would do that!! Finally, I feel more myself than I have ever been. Still terrified naturally, but so much more at one with myself. And tonight...my husband presents me with a rainbow ring as an alternative to my wedding ring. What a guy. Much love friends xxx
Congratulations! Our stories sound similar, but with the genders reversed. Coming out to a spouse doesn't have to be horrid, as you and I have discovered.
