A few of you have asked me via PM how things are going with telling my wife.
Unfortunately, nothing has happened yet. Each night I almost get up the nerve to tell her I chicken out.
Anyhow ... just thought I would update ... will keep you posted. Thanks all you who have checked in. Unfortunately I don't have time to respond individually to each PM, but I will later this week.
Thanks again,

Good Luck, ithinkisee! Hopefully she will take it well when you are able to tell her.
Oh man, you're stomach must be in knots. I keep thinking about you and how stressful this must be. Always remember, you're a good person trying to do the right thing.
Good luck.
Yes please keep us posted. I am waiting with "baited breath" to hear back from you about this.
I've always been a big fan of chickening out. This is one of those revelations that isn't going away. Selection of the right moment could make all the difference in the world.
Perhaps because you got a lot of conflicting advice, you're subconsiously uncertain how to proceed.
I always apply the maxim: " When in doubt, do nothing."
In time, you'll know what to do.
Perhaps you shouldn't make it a great big production. I know exactly what you are talking about when it comes to the jitters. I've personally found it to be best to bring things up spontaneously and very incrementally, whenever the situation/conversation seems to be asking for it. It really seems more "real" and less scripted, plus takes a lot of the pressure off. Plus it will be more likely that her defenses won't be up when she doesn't sense that she's the target of a presentation.

Willyloman makes a good point.
My two penny worth. Women hate being told they are wrong but cannot help their curiosity. You could just mention that there are some things that just don’t add up but say that you have decided to ‘wait on Jehovah.’ Say nothing more. You may find she starts to want to know more. Curiosity killed the cat!
I like that one, Trevor.
To unload all at once is a difficult thing to swallow for someone. It's likely to have adverse effects.
