My partner and I have been together one and a half years. He had never
been with a man prior to me. My boyfriend has put off telling his family and his
close friends that he is gay. I firmly believe that there is no right moment to
come out, and that everyone has to do it at his own pace. I’ve told him that he
will know when the time is right, and I will do anything I can to support him,
but he really gets down on himself and believes he’s being dishonest with the
people closest to him. I don’t think he fears losing these people, he just needs
a means short of, “the pot roast is great… I’m gay… pass the salt,” to move
forward. Any suggestions?
