Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I know the feeling weenie. I love being able to treat my daughter-in-law but I fear I am the winner as she gives me lots of of things that she just seems to know I will love.

So happy for you. I hope the time away has recharged both of your batteries and given you both the break you deserved.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

So pleased that weenie had a good time with her future daughter in law, and that dilli had a good weekend away.

Not sure if this should be a happy thought or a moan, for now it is going down as a happy thought. After much debating inside myself, I finally came out to a person at work as being bisexual (something which I have struggled for the last 17 years of my life to accept myself, let alone tell anyone else) and he has been very supportive. Plus, I have never told anyone this but a few years ago I was finally diagnosed formally as being on the very low mild end of the autistic spectrum (cannot process emotions properly, hate changes to routines, etc) and told a manager at work because I was moaning about them changing my schedule around on me last minute again. He also found out about me being bipolar, so I feel a bit better now that I have been open with people about myself.

I wish I could be brave enough to tell my family all this.

You have definitely done the right thing Mark in regards to coming out as my own brother had a inner battle for many years before coming out as most of our family had suspicions for quite a while so it did not really come as a shock to us when he told us.

The only person that was shocked was the baby of the family and he took a while to come to terms with it but has accepted it totally now.

We all deeply love our brother the same as we did before as he is the same brother at the end of the day as all he has is a different sexual orientation which in the old days would have been a crime but thankfully this country is far more accepting of it now.

You must tell your family Mark as the longer one leaves it the harder it is to do so my advice is to tell them as soon as the suitable moment arrives for you.

l am also glad that there was a diagnosis of your autism and bipolar conditions a few years ago s there is nothing worse then not having a named diagnosis for your conditions.

In my opinion someone's sexuality should not be a problem and shouldn’t be seen as such just remember if people see it as a problem then the problem is with them not you. Mark personally I could not give a hoot about someones sexuality, I personally judge a person on what value's they have in life if there nice and kind then I want them in my life if not I now just say bye bye.

What I'm trying to say if someone judges you on just being you then do you really want to know that person but saying that it may come as a shock to some family members then again it may not. My advice on family members is give them time to adjust after all you it has taken you the last 17 years of your life to finally accept yourself. Speaking as a Mother I do not care who my children chose to love or date as long as there happy and treat each other with respect that is what truly matter's to me.

The best advice I can give you Mark is be kind to yourself and take it day by day, remember baby steps Mark. If someone has a problem with you for whatever the reason is then let that be there problem and don't allow it to become yours (taken my own advice here ) you know my sister has a problem with me and it took me 48 years to walk away from her and I suspect she still has a problem but the main difference now is the problem is hers and it was the best decision I have ever made saying good bye to her negative attitude.

Mark remember when and if you tell your family just do it in your own time and if you need to talk you know what to do.

I'm so proud of you for accepting who you are and all I can say is well done.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Well work was better than I expected, one of my coworkers who knew about me being bi was very supportive to me, told me that now I had finally had the courage to admit to myself my true being i would be a lot happier in life. And it turns out that my manager blocked me on FB because she has an issue with gay people, so her loss. All in all, a good day. And I finally stood up to her and stopped being her doormat.

My nieces headmaster called her the day before her GCSE results to say she is in the top 12 in the school, and she has to go in early to get her photo in the local newspaper. So hopefully it's 9 A*'s.

Will find out tomorrow

I'm so glad you've been able to be honest about this. It will get easier as time goes on. Most people today don't really care about a persons sexuality, they're more interested in the person.

It was much different when I was younger. At least these days if I want to wear pink trainers nobody really looks.

One less thing to be careful about will take a load off your mind.

The chances are that your family probably already suspect "something". My mother knew I was probably gay long before I actually told her.

So pleased for you Mark and anyway her loss and tbh do you really want to know someone like that, some one who judges you on your choice of partner. I really do not understand people like her. Really people like her is not worth knowing imo and a true friend accepts you for who you are!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Woke up at 2:30am this morning having a eureka moment to a problem I've been trying to fix for nearly a week. Grabbed my laptop and within 2hrs had a proof of concept environment ready for a work project.


My wife did not take very kindly to the keyboard mashings however, and now I'm quite tired !!
