Opening up to SO

[justmetoo]

Well, I'll be off soon to visit my girlfriend in another town. After reading a lot of threads here I decided it's time to tell her about this side of me. I wanted to talk to her about it in person rather than try to do it over the phone or other long-distance media, and now the time is almost here.
Hopefully I'll be able to report back in a couple of weeks that all went well.

Thanks for all of the information and encouragement! :D

Good luck, and yes we want to here the out come

[tracigirl_tv]

You are doing the right thing, just *huggggg* All the best!

[Tina B.]

Good luck! I know it's hard, but it's for the best, it is great if you have at least one person to share your feelings with, but remember after you tell her, give her time to absorb it all, and catch her breath, she will ask the questions that are most important to her, as she can deal with it, you had a long time to figure it out, but it will all be new, and maybe just a little overwelming to her. and if she excepts you as you are, stay out of the pink fog, or you can scare her off with to much to fast, many of us do, as it just feels so good to have someone to share it all with. I hope it all goes well for you!!!!!!!

Telling her in person is the best way to do it. Always be forthright and honest.:o

[Mary Morgan]

You are doing what must be done and I applaud you for it. Have your thoughts together and remember that you are placing your issues in her hands. she is entitled to be frustrated, annoyed, angry or whatever, but if she loves you and you approach her with care as to her needs, you'll come out the winner no matter what. My hopes and thoughts are with you.

[Holly]

JMT, I'm wishing you both the best... you, the best information to share with her, the best words to explain how you feel to her, and the best confidence in yourself. For your SO, the best questions to help her understand, the best compassion for your special situation, and the best heart allowing her to embrace the total you.

[angelfire]

Good luck. I know it is hard, but hopefully she will accept you as you are. Best of luck, I hope everything goes well for you!

[Angie G]

I wish you the best. I was married almost 27 years before I told my wife and she accepted it fully. I think after all that time she suspected something. So it was not a complete shock. I am truly blessed. My best to you.

I agree with Tina . I have just lately come out to my wife of 37 years. I suppose that has helped us with this change in our married life, the love of a S/O.
I hope it all goes well for you in telling her of your dressing.

I'm back to say she took it very well, very understanding. We talked. I didn't press anything, but let her ask whatever she wanted. We're making plans to see each other again soon, as we do everytime we visit.

Thanks for all of the encouragement and support! :D

[Tina B.]

Glad to hear it went so well, now move slow and let it develope naturally, you are off to a great start!!!

[StephanieH]

You're doing the right thing, best to clear the air and be up front with all this, good luck and be ready to do a lot of reassuring. Take care! :)

[susan fuller]

Great to hear that everthing went well. Remember communications and honestly are the keys to a good relationship no matter what. Good luck in the future and I hope it all works out for the two of you.

[Lisa_M]

Great to hear!:thumbsup: I am so glad to hear that it all worked out for you, I hope things will only get better for the both of you.

[PamelaTX]

Congratulations, you've chosen the right path. Be prepared for some surprises from her and from yourself. Good luck.

[NovaScotia]

I hope it all goes well :hugs:

Go to the links she provides. I asked this same question a year ago. I did all the steps recommended and I believe it saved my marriage. Our relationship is not the same, but I am optimistic that time will heal all wounds. Good luck. Try to keep in perspective that you are who you are, and denying it creates more stress than can be imagined.
