Today I took a deep breath, and decided to finally "out" myself poly-wise to a friend... a distant-but-special friend, someone that I once practically worshiped. My first love, 25 years ago, although we never did more back then than kiss and write daily letters. She's monogamous and has been married now for 20+ years, so I feared a strong negative reaction. With great trepidation, I wrote her an email over lunch, and sent it... and in her reply tonight, discovered that she'd been reading my LJ and had figured this out long ago. Eep.

Oh, that is wonderful :-)

This is why I use friends filters, however ... even if it means I'm avoiding some nice surprises along the way :-)

Do you think you're going to talk more about this now? You might find her perspective to be very useful, as well as interesting?

I don't know if I will talk more to her about personal things, given her preferences... but at least I can stop filtering my email and conversation and be a bit more natural.
