[update/thanks] I came out to my wife

Yesterday I posted this and reading all of your comments and support through the day really helped me stay strong. So thank you all. There aren't a lot of places on the internet (let alone reddit) where you can be honest and not get a whole bunch of trolls making shitty comments. I really appreciate you guys.So, I sat my wife down and nervously sped through reading the letter I'd written to her out loud. She was definitely shocked right off the bat but she hugged me and told me that she still loves me. As our conversation continued I think it started to sink in and she got more and more sad. There were a lot of tears from both of us. When she asked what's next I said "I don't know but whatever happens I really hope we can still be best friends and partners in raising our son." Her response was "Well fucking DUH! I love you no matter what."We agreed that going to some couples counseling is the best next step and ended the night cuddling in bed. I know that this is far from over and that we both still have a shit load of emotions to work through but I feel so relieved now that this first step has been taken. Her initial reaction and support has given me a lot of hope for the future.
