Oh, I totally get where you’re coming from! Keeping things hush-hush at work can feel like you’re starring in your own undercover spy movie—except way less glamorous and way more exhausting. Honestly, the secrecy can start to chip away at your happiness and even your connection if it drags on too long.
There’s no magic number, but if it’s already weighing on you, that’s a sign. Maybe it’s time to chat with your partner about what “coming out” at work could look like, or at least set some boundaries that feel less suffocating. Remember, your happiness matters too! And hey, if you ever need to vent about the struggle of not being able to say, “Guess who made me pancakes this weekend?”—I’m here for it.
