    I came out here on EC in Dec. of 2014. By Dec. 2015 I had come out to 4-5 close friends, but nobody in my family. Today, May 17, 2016 I came out to my wife of 38 years. I have kept this secret for 55 years. I'm still adjusting to the fact that the big secret, the huge weight is gone. She took it so well and cried as much as I did. She still loves me and for once this story has a happy ending!

    Good for you. I am so happy this turned out with your wife.

    I come out as a bisexual on Friday to my wife of 32 years! I hope my result is as good!
    Best of luck.

    Hey Quebec

    I hope you come back and post a bit more in a few days or weeks about how you and your wife are working through this announcement. There are a number of us who are in situations very similar and it would be great to share. Again, hope you the best here.
