That's great news, just take care to manage the process because telling someone is only the start of how they react...once things start to sink in and they think about the implications they can start to waver. Make sure you keep the channels of communication open.
Thank you Grace... And yes, I totally agree with your statement. I can sense some denial on her part that will have to be addressed in the future, but communication is the one thing we have always been very good at. Also I went into this with both eyes wide open and knew there was going to be changes in our relationship. But it is better that than than the other option which was checking out permanently. That topic has long sensed passed and I am becoming the person I always knew I was.
There will be more conversations for sure and of course there are lines in the sand that I knew would be there also. Such as my stepson, but he has his own issues. (For another topic... LOL) But at least it is on the table and up for discussion and she made a point before I went to bed tonight to reassure me that things were okay and she would be there for me. No one really knows what the future will hold, me included, but as long as there is communication and honesty, I think that perhaps the "relationship" will change, but our friendship and love for one another will not. Perhaps to a higher level, as she will see the entire spectrum of me instead of just half of me. As long as we respect each other, even if down the road we go separate ways, there will always be a strong bond and friendship. That is really all I can hope for...
