Im just bursting with joy rn, and wanted to share. I came out to my FIL, who ive known for 6 years. I was nervous of course, it could have gone poorly, but the first words out of his mouth after i told him were “congratulations”, and it set the tone for the rest of the convo. My own father is a difficult man and this guy has been so wonderful to me, im just over the moon! I knew he wouldnt be a putz, but its nice to have it confirmed!

Anyway, its just happy happy times over here. Tomorrow is my MIL and BIL i come out to, and im hoping for similar reactions.
