You need your troops now more than ever. I've told a few more people in my circle about my sitch in the last few months. I also worry about the consequences of letting others know, mainly that my H is prideful and it will probably affect the likelihood of his return, but sometimes conversations with close friends just head that way and the timing seems right to divulge. I don't intentionally air it all out, but I feel like when the timing is right, and I feel safe to talk to that person, I let that reservation go. I can't hold on to H's "secret" forever.
