Are you and your bf on the down low? Does he feel comfortable coming out? It’s a lot of pressure on your relationship to be in the closet, and it’s a real test of your resilience.

What do you feel comfortable sharing? Generally speaking, I feel like coming out is both super empowering and super sensitive. I came out when I knew it would help the people around me understand who I was and what I believed. It may seem like an impossible decision to make, but I would suggest brainstorming all the things that would be easier if you came out. Balance the positives as well as the negatives and map your course forward with your bf.

You will know best when the right time and place to do so is. I know you’ll make the right decision and build the bright future that you deserve.
