    I've written in the past about how I came out to my wife last summer and after a period of intense discussion, we fell into a strange existence just going along without deciding anything. Tonight, we finally had a great talk over Valentine's dinner (go figure!). We discussed how neither of us is really happy and we need to move on, and we started talking about the how and when, and life after separation. There was tremendous relief for both of us, and we laughed together more than we have in a looong time. We even shared recent crushes we've had on guys, and it wasn't nearly as weird as I would have expected. :icon_wink

    So I guess this is progress!

    I am glad that you talk with your wife openly about it and that you have made progress. Talking about where you two see your life going and what needs to be done is really good. It looks like that you and your former wife are going to be great friends, and that is the best result!

    This is great progress indeed, I can say that your wife is coming to terms with your sexual orientation. I'm not sure for how long you've been struggling with this but you must feel a lot of relief!

    Congrats :slight_smile:
