    Ok, I have decided I am going to completely come out the the woman I am in love with, who has also been my best friend since seventh grade. Here is the letter / email I have prepared:

    Subject: Hey guess what?

    So, I have something I need you to know. I am emailing you because I can't seem to find the courage to do this any other way. So, here is goes!

    Since leaving ---- (my ex husband) I have realized that I am not straight. I'm not even sure I'm truly attracted to men at all. I am attracted to women, so I know I am either bisexual or a lesbian.

    Ok, that's half of what I need to tell you, here's the rest.

    I love you. Not in the way you always assume I mean when I say it, not "I love you as if you were my sister" or "I love you as a friend". I truly do love you, and have for a long time, and have been unable to express this to you. If you do not feel the same I do not want this to ruin or friendship, and have no problems continuing our friendship, but I can no longer hide this, and feel you have the right to know.

    I hope you can accept this. I will be happy to answer any questions you have... Call me, text me, e-mail me back, your choice.

    - (my name)





    So, opinions? How could / should i change it?

    me: O... well... Dont worry bout it
    her: What was is about?
    me: nothin not important
    her: If your short and snappy it was something
    me: I'm not being short and snappy, im dragging words out hence the dots.... It really isnt important i swear
    her: Are you lying to me?
    me: eerm
    me: My phone dyin
    Her: Then plug it in
    me: Im in bed, charger is waaaay accross house

    Well my guess is that she knows something is up. I guess the question is do you want to tell her over the phone or not. If not then perhaps you should ring her and just apologise for the other night and say you had a cold and had taken some medicine.

    If you do want to tell her then perhaps ring her and apologise but say you were caught off guard but you would like to discuss something when she has chance.

    If you dont want to tell her over the phone but do still want to tell her then perhaps you could write her a letter or something.
