Title: Had the talk with my wife
Post by: rfhaas on July 25, 2014, 02:38:37 PM
Last night, or early this morning really. I had been stressing out about needing to for a while. We were in bed and had just made love and we were closer emotionally than I think we have ever been. My internal changes since accepting myself must be kicking in as I was able to be more tender and open than I can ever remember. I truly thought she MUST already know and I started be telling her that I have been seeing a therapist.  There were tears and caresses and hugs. My only regret is that I had to leave for work. I am currently here at work and have spoken to her ipn the phone several times. She has expressed a few reservations but has come to believe that WE can do this. I know that can change but I am teeing like the luckiest girl in the world right now.

Good for you rfhaas! Coming out to your SO is certainly one of the hardest things to do. I wish you and your wife the best and hope things work out for the two of you.

What a huge step you have taken! I am glad it has gone so well so far. There will probably be a lot of ups and downs but it sounds like you have a really good start.

Wish that my wife could be accepting like that.

It is such a massive thing for someone to deal with out of the blue, so it sounds like you have an amazing wife there :)  There is bound to be challenges ahead, but fingers crossed it will all work out xx
