I've been away (yes, Cossie, you can guess where!) for a long weekend. And I took the opportunity to screw up my courage and tell Alison (my wife) all about my gay side. Bless her, she felt no shock, no disgust, no outrage. She wasn't even greatly surprised: she hadn't consciously suspected anything but, once she knew, she saw that it fitted her perception of me. She didn't forgive me, for she felt there was nothing that needed forgiveness. She just demonstrated understanding and love: love that's now even deeper on both sides than it was before. A truly wonderful woman.

So a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. May I simply say thank you to everyone who responded to my agonising in that thread about a month ago, on coming out to one's spouse. Your thoughts gave me strength to do what I've done, and I'll never forget it.

Hugs to all,

Mihangel
