I thought the weight would feel lighter
I came out to my husband of 30 years and I thought this weight I’ve been carrying would feel lighter. I just feel sad and guilty. He’s a good man, a good dad and he was completely shocked. I thought he must have had a clue. At the end of our conversation he asked “now what, do I even have a bed to sleep in tonight?” I know this is the right thing for me, but I’ve had so much longer to process. I thought once I finally had the courage to say the words out loud the weight would be lifted. I feel like I just blew up our lives and there’s no going back. Please tell me it gets better.
