Hi everyone,

I want to share that tomorrow morning I will hopefully come out to my wife.

This is terrifying and exciting. I have prepared a letter and am holding the hard copy in my hand. I have thought through so many scenarios with absolute terror in my mind and am ready to face whatever comes my way. Hopefully better than worse.

This may seem like an awful way to approach this, but I believe I am to the point where I can do this and for the long term benefit of my wife and myself I need to do this.

my stomach is turning and I can't stop fidgeting.

I joined this forum in a terrible state and it has been enough of a boost to help me.

Thank you all,

Ellie

Wish you luck and hope you and your wife can come to a understanding.

Good luck Ellie.  When I came out to my SO, it was probably one of the most important moments in my life in terms of self-acceptance and realisation. 

The road ahead is signposted "Somewhere I need to go" and you've got a fascinating and wonderful journey ahead. Ah, and you will get drenched in the rain, but I've found that somehow the  sun seems to come out again :-)

You are very brave. So is your SO.

Hugs
Julia

Praying for the best and understanding.  Good luck!

Oh my god, good luck. I'm not brave enough for that yet, so I admire your courage. I wish you all the best. Keep us updated.

Thank you all for the encouragement. I'm trying to keep telling myself I will do this and I'm confident I can. It's been at the top of my list for a little while now and I feel like I've prepared myself as much as I can.

Thank you again,

Ellie

Nosey Parker here wants to know....I hope it went well. And if you couldn't summon the courage yet, well that's OK too. It's very hard.
