    I DID! I FINALLY DID IT! :eusa_danc

    Sorry for the big letters but I have actually mustered up the courage to talk to a friend. And he's my best guy friend. And I'm so so happy because he was ever so accepting and supportive! I knew he would be but it just feels so GOOD :icon_bigg

    It was really unexpected. Basically I was skyping a very good friend and we were talking and then he ended up telling me a friend of ours came out to him yesterday and he has a boyfriend etc. And he was just so so cool about it and said he was so happy our friend was happy, I just couldn't stand there and not come out. So I said it: what if I told you I'm in the same situation as our friend?! :rolle:

    And then he was like: wow, really? That's AWESOME!

    So we switched to written messages because I was afraid someone might overhear us.

    Then he said: I absolutely have no problem and think it's ridiculous to discriminate. I want you to be happy and comfortable :slight_smile:

    And after that he made the best typo ever which really helped ease the tension: ok I'll shut up for a sex (meaning 'for a sec')

    And after a long, long convo he said this:

    You're one hell of a guy and anyone would be lucky to have you Arch. You're an amazing friend and I can't even begin to imagine how hard this has been for you mentally but I'm here for you now and please just talk whenever you need :slight_smile: I promise I'll be here ASAP, that's what friends are for right :slight_smile: Thank you so much for finding the courage to tell me and I promise you this hasn't changed the way I think of you at all, you're a great friend and you always will be.

    Do I have the best friend in the world or what? Amazing. I'm ever so thankful! :slight_smile:

    Sorry for the long post but I HAD to share this! I'm so happy and relieved! And obviously thanks for everyone for their posts and replies, it's all been insanely helpful and I reckon I am finally moving on with my life! Much obliged (!)
