My marriage.

I imagine this question has crossed a few minds. It was certainly a major concern for me.

You see, I've known I was bisexual for quite a long time, but had never really accepted it. I met my wife in high school and married her shortly after she graduated.

At the time, I hadn't intended to ever accept this. It just wasn't a factor in my decision making.

So, fast forward 5 years, my wife and I have just recovered from a rough patch in our marriage, and life is looking great. We're communicating well, and we have almost no secrets from each other.......Almost.

I had accepted my bisexuality about 1 year before this, and I was scared.

At the time I was scared because I was afraid it would be the thing to push our marriage over the brink into a divorce.

After we got our marriage back on track, I was worried she wouldn't accept it, and our now on track marriage would die.

One morning, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to tell her.

I laid in bed for a few hours that morning. Running everything through my mind.

I got out of bed and got breakfast, my wife was on the couch.

My wife, who knows me VERY well, immediately asked me what was wrong. I told her nothing, but she didn't believe me. So she pressed me a bit.

When she did, I asked if she would like to take a shower with me. She pressed me more and I said "I'll tell you in the shower."

So, we get in the shower, and I couldn't just tell her right off. We cleaned ourselves in silence, and then I said it.

It just kind of stumbled out. "Babe.....I have to tell you........I....I..........I'm bisexual."

I would have never expected how she responded. "Babe, I know." she said with a smile. Turns out she knows me way better than I ever knew. She even told me that is exactly what she expected me to tell her.

I guess she had seen some "patterns" that suggested I was, that I wasn't even aware of.

The greatest thing, she figured it out about the same time I accepted it, and she stuck by me and worked with me to improve our marriage, even when separation was so close.

I really am lucky to have such an understanding spouse, she truly is unique.
