My best friend came to visit me at the weekend and we went for some drinks and a catch up. We got back to my house quite late and continued drinking. My wife was in bed. I decided to tell him about me as I wanted to get it off my chest. He took it unbelievably well and was very supportive. He asked questions and laughed at some of the stories I had about nearly getting caught. At this point my wife came through as she couldn't sleep. She sat with us and I told her that now my friend knows about me. She didn't look impressed as until that point she doesn't like that side of me and we were DADT. I think she took comfort with how amazing my friend was about it. Well. Obviously a little drunk I decided to open the floodgates and tell all in front of the both of them, I mean everything holding nothing back, I broke down a few times explaining the struggle. We went to bed after this and when I woke today they were sitting in the kitchen and everything seemed fine. My friend left and I texted him thanking him for being so good about it and he replied do whatever makes you happy. Later that night my wife my in my arms watching tv and she started crying, I asked her what was wrong and she said that she heard everything I said last night and didn't realise the pain and loneliness I had inside. She didn't want me to be unhappy. She said she was shocked that I had been outside the home dressed and that worries her a great deal in case anyone sees. I assured her that I love her and couldn't picture my life without her and that she had dealt with everything amazingly well since telling her 18months ago. She cried a little more and said she hasn't been as good of wife as she could have been and asked if her seeing me dressed a few nights a week would kill the urge to go outside the home. I said yes it 100% would and she is happy with this arrangement. So there it is, sometimes opening up and being 100% honest is helpful. My wife is an amazing person and I'm going to do my best to make her happy for the rest of our lives for being so supportive about this. Now I have to pick an outfit for the reveal . I hope this works out.
