My motto is now, "Not out? Don't tell"!
I told an old girlfriend. We're both single now and have been close for over 30 years. She's educated and liberal leaning, accepting, and open minded. I thot, "Why not?"
It ruined our relationship! THAT'S why not!
Before u tell anyone, think of all the GOOD things that can result from you're opening up. Now, list every possible BAD thing that could happen. Then, see which list is longer and more gruesome!
