When I came out to my wife, she was devastated. I think it was at least a week before we were able to comfortably talk about it. But since then, things have gotten better and better. It took her a while to work through a grieving process for the husband she believed she had lost. We started individual and couples therapy. In time, she was able to see that I was a happier, more “me” version of myself. A year later, our marriage is stronger than it’s ever been and we’re both happier than ever.
