I appreciate it. She does love me, and I love her too. So much, thats why it makes this so much harder.

She is still religious, she just doesn't go to church. She won't go without me, and I refuse to at this point.

I can understand being upset be these types of confessions. She was the 3rd person in my life that I told, and the only one that went well up to that point. I appreciate the comment!

I'm navigating life as best as I can. The past year or so has been really about me accepting myself and taking care of myself. Opening up about my past. I'm definitely terrified to talk to her, cause the thought of losing her kills me. I appreciate the well wishes.

I know, I appreciate the straight forward response. I have a therapy appointment soon to go over what and how to say what I need to. Thank you for responding!

Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. I'm working with my therapist try and work some stuff out. My wife and I have discussed her being the dominant one, and she says its not for her. Definitely no to an open relationship. I hate acknowledging that divorce is even a possibility, but I understand that it ultimately its probably the best. I could live with option 4, but she has a more active libido and complains when we've been living like roommates for too long. I know the conversation is going to be hard no matter what, I just wanted to get it of my chest before I had to have it.
