My boyfriend came out - I don't want to lose him
-
Recently, my boyfriend of 4 years came out to me. He has basically known more or less forever, but has never really dealt with it properly. He said he still loves me and he doesn't care about what anyone thinks now, he just has been worried about hurting me. He also said that none of our relationship has been a lie, and I guess that part confuses me quite a bit.
The issue I am having is not with him being gay, because he has been my best friend for so long, and I want to support him through what has clearly been a difficult time. I love him so much and can't bare the thought that he won't be in my life, which is why it's so important to me to stay friends with him.
Everyone keeps telling me they admire how strong, supportive and kind I've been to him since he came out but I don't feel strong because I'm struggling to get over the loss of relationship.
I'm just worried about how I am going to cope with not seeing him as often, or not knowing what he's up to all the time… Even if he makes new friends or boyfriends, it's none of my business anymore. Has anyone been through this? Were you able to stay friends? Are you still as good friends as you always have been?
