If you waited two years to break the news, it would still be
nerve-racking. And there will always be an excuse not to say anything. I used
to work with a young lad who’d been putting off telling his parents he was gay
for years.
I was married for more than 30 years to a wonderful woman, but
didn’t realize how lovely she was until she left me and she’s now divorcing me
She often tried to tell me I was controlling but I denied it. She apologized
for things when she didn’t need to but, like a child,
I wouldn’t accept her
apology and refused to speak to her. I now realize that rather than argue with
me, she would do as I told just to keep the peace. She accused me of pushing
people away, which I now realize I was guilty of. I was so sure I didn’t need
anyone and now the one person I do need no longer needs me. She seems to have
moved on very quickly without me. How can I get her back.
