I have the strangest feeling that this just might not be as difficult as you imagine.
I feel that your friend already suspects Gemma Lou’s existence.
If she indeed does, half the battle is already won.
Let’s face it, what you would like to confess isn’t exactly the crime of the century.
You haven’t grown two heads or four arms, have you?
There is an old motto
“Amor Vincit Omnia”
love conquers all things
I have known three cases where partners already had a very good idea prior to confession.
Therefore the shock was minimized.
In all three cases, the result was acceptance of the situation.
good luck,
be very brave
you will be OK.
