Reply To: Almost time to be open with wife!

Hi Effie . I hate to pour more cold water  on a hard situation but…. Every day that goes by makes the situation more difficulty in my experience. I came out to my wife a few years back but it took me a long time to get the courage to do it. I remember waiting and waiting for the right moment which seemed to never come. My wife could tell I was distressed about something and would ask me but I still couldnt say the words. The lies and secrets were eating me alive. I beat myself up about for weeks i knew the longer I waited further jeopardized my relationship by deepening the sense of betrayal she might feel.
The discussion was tough but in my eyes successful. She isn’t totally accepting but the weight lifted off my shoulders is palpable. The talk has made both of our lives better. Good luck.
