It's done!

I have now told my whole immediate family and X partner about my relationship. I did not offer a label for my orientation, because I think that is less important and I would not know which label to use anyway. Two neutral reactions, one positive and one negative (the X but he will just have to get over it.) 12 months of worrying over a couple of minutes dialogue. I wish I had done it ages ago.

In a few days when I am more calm I will tell you how it all came about. For now I just want to enjoy this feeling.

Even the negative is not bothering me. I feel free as a bird. I don't even care what follows, tonight is the most wonderful, fantastic and memorable night of my life! Thank you all my ec friends you are the best x

 

Thanks everyone for the support. Reading the experiences of others here at ec has been so helpful to me in doing this.

My gf is my true love. She is the one, I adore her. She has never pushed me and has constantly reminded me that every gay bi or trans person goes through this at some point. In the end I just wanted us to be out in the open. That kind of love should not be hidden.

I told some work mates today. The grapevine should take care of the rest. I guess there are still some extended family but I don't see them often. All my friends already know.

This weekend I am going to the movies with my girl and i am going to hold her hand in the cinema
