    and I cried. I told him about my preference for women and I felt so bad. But I couldn't keep it in anymore. I had to get it off my chest. It was torture. I felt so guilty.

    But you know what?
    he was so respectful and kind.
    He wasn't creepy, he was understanding.
    He expected it. That's just what my best friend said..
    I guess I was obvious.. :x
    He loves me and respects my decisions and feelings.
    I got very lucky..


    But I would like to thank the people on here who gave me courage to come out to a second person in just one day on this website after six years of keeping my desires a secret.


    Thank you so much. I feel.... euphoric almost. I accepted myself a little bit more. Coming out to 2 people is everything compared to hiding myself entirely. Just having a supportive website and 2 close people know is everything to me. I've been waiting for this for forever,.

    I'm really happy that you were able to come out to him and found the support that you needed here. It can be really liberating to come out, can't it? :slight_smile:

    As for right now, I am just happy he understands. I am very committed to him, that huge attraction to women is still there, but I think I should suck it up and just be happy I have somebody as accepting as he is. I love him. He's a great person.

    I feel complicated. But I'll uncomplicated it one baby step at a time. Love triumphs all I believe.
