Best advice you've been given here. Gratitude

Best advice: tell your spouse!

The best advice I ever received on CD.com was that I should accept my CDing needs and stop the self-hate, shame, and fear. While I was reading this years ago as a lurker, the woman I was dating and later married was telling me the same thing.

I've heard that a few times. Can't remember asking for any advice but I've benefited by good advice I've read for others.
Actually, sometimes bad advice can be beneficial if it triggers critical thought. I can say that the influence of this site prepared me for the blind leap of disclosure to my wife.
Which didn't go well. My DADT CD basically irritates her ingrained linear morality.
