    Hello to all. I am freshly out of the closet and loving finally being honest with people.

    I am married to a women who, even after coming out to her, wants to stand by my side.

    I am here to meet more people like me, and to feel safe while I do it. I was directed here by a good friend of mine.

    Hi and welcome dude. Congratulations on coming out to your wife. I think its super for her to decide to stand by your side. Gosh knows you need friends now more than ever. Having someone like her, will help to make things a little smoother.

    There are loads of guys who are in a similar situation, though not everyone's spouses handled it the same as your wife did.

    A super duper 5 big golden stars for her.

    well done!

    still, let me ask out of curiosity: did you know you were bi or gay when you married her? how did you find out?
    no need to answer...

    all the best,
    kd

    Hi there! Welcome to EC! It's so exciting to hear about how supportive your wife is. That's really awesome. That makes her really awesome as well. Like others before me have said, there have been men in your situation and you'll find some here. Answers, support, advice, love, whatever you're looking for...you can bet your bottom dollar you'll find it here at EC. Nice to have you with us. And hey...congratulations for being brave enough to tell her. :grin:

    Unfortunately I have known for many years and due to the family, I stayed in the closet and married a straight women. She truly is the best.

    Thank you all for the warm welcomes.
