    Just ten months ago I came out to my wife, not long after that I met an awesome man called J. It started of as a great friendship with benefits but soon matured into something much deeper.
    I'm now returning from a week in wales with him. Spending so much time with him and away from the negative things in my normal life has done me the world of good.
    The last ten months have been probably the hardest of my life, but so worth it, the light at the end of the tunnel, hoping for more lights and good times, with good people.

    Love you guys!

    Peace(&&&)

    I'm pleased you are able to see light and happiness in the midst of the lows. You are a very brave man and I have massive respect for you. I'm confident you will see more and more light stream in as you face the future together with J. (*hug*)

    Hi Richie, I'm so happy you were able to get away for a week with your guy to get a chance to live as you and without the hastle from your wife. I hope it did you the world of good and washed away some of the dark thoughts and gloom you were suffering from.
