Every time I hear these words, 'As long as you're happy,' I want to argue. The choice for me to come out had nothing to do with happiness.
By the time I told my husband of my struggles with my sexuality, I was near exhaustion. I yearned to lie back and sink below the surface.
The night I told my husband I wanted to separate, he said all he could think of were suicidal thoughts. Neither of us slept that night.
In the weeks and months that followed my coming out, I was generally happy, but I still lived with my husband... I was hopeful and in love but also anxious, sad, uncertain.
