    this is my original thread :

    http://emptyclosets.com/forum/coming-out-stories/67734-my-story-coming-out-wife.html

    since then in the past month or so-

    my truck broke down past the point of repair so I sold it cheap and bought another car which I love.The payments were reasonable enough but I had alot of other bills coming in for sept that I had no idea how to pay for.Trying to sell stuff on craigslist but hardly any bites.When you have no money and nothing sells it gets a lil scary!

    My own place is still not ready yet but soon will be ,so that weighing on my mind too.

    My wife is moving back to kansas and I'm staying here in santa fe.She has a friend that has been looking for a new place for her and she may have found one!Throughout all this we been trying to find a way to get cash gathered for her move.

    Well today an unexpected windfall happened to us so we have enough to get her back home and for me to pay off bills and then some.

    I also told my 10 year old stepson I was gay and he just kinda gave an ugly face to the idea of it but was cool and didn't affect him really.He has an older gay brother too so he knew what 'being 'gay' was.

    I'm trying to help my wife as much as possible and vice versa.We're getting along and talking more than we have in a while and just want the best for each other in our new lives.

    I'll miss her but we have facebook and phones to keep in contact with each other.We are divorcing at some point officially but haven't decided when.We're not worried bout it yet.

    This is the start of our new lives and I wish her the best...thank you to all the EC members that supported and encouraged me.This has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but it is getting better!!!!!!:icon_bigg

    My parents are still trying to Billy Graham me into submission thinking it's just a phase i guess...sigh:bang:

    Also emailed my sister and told her...no reply yet..my brother is another story...he can either accept me or not.

    So I guess that is it for now...hey and any of you wanna add me as friend please do.I know I don't post too often but that'll pick up once stuff settles down a bit...

    for now..thanks for listening....

    luv ya all

    Congratulations. I can only imagine how it feels to seperate from someone you've been together with for so long, but its for the best.

    Best of luck on your new journey (*hug*)

    So sorry, Featherpaint! I hope you're feeling better now. It'll be an up and down battle for quite some time. Get the support you need from wherever you can get it!
