    I missed you starting this thread, but I'm delighted to see some of the details now. Don't be "sorry for the long post" - the people in this thread care and want to know.

    Congratulations, and best wishes as you take the next steps.

    I'm so happy you have such a wonderful wife. My girlfriend said the same to me, btw, "that I'm her gay boyfriend".

    Omg, this is fabulous news...I'm so happy for you that this is out in the open with her...and that it sounds like you *both* had some things to discuss.

    It can be frustrating that she is telling you who to come out to (or rather, who not to)...but remember that this news is ultra-new to her, and she needs to absorb it and figure out what it means to/for her. I would suggest giving her some time, but to keep the conversation going...about anything that is important to either of you. Communication is what got this going, and it's what is going to keep it going in good directions.

    Good luck...it sounds like you're at the very brink of a whole new exciting chapter in your life!

    I'm incredibly happy for you, Sale! :slight_smile:

    I'm so happy that your wife was supportive, and I think I teared up a little reading your post. ;P

    Congratulations!

    Interesting days for you indeed! My (ex) wife reacted similarly....they don't all freak out. How has she been since.

    I do sometimes wonder though, wives that react like that....perhaps they did suspect all along and didn't care....but were afraid to ask because by doing so they might bring an end to the marriage?
