Dear Bison, ave a I have been at Howard for four years and I have met some great people. One is particular, my husband. He is not a student, but I met him two years ago and it's been beautiful ever since. We have been happily married for six months. The problem is none • of my family or friends know about him. How do I break the news?

Sincerely • Hidden Love • Dear Hidden Love,

This is a sticky situation. You need to break the news gently. It has probably been driving you crazy keeping this all bubbled up. The hard decision is not really if you tell them but when you let it all out. You know your family, so pick a time when they're chillin' and won't be caught off guard. Right now is perfect timing with Thanksgiving • coming up; holidays are always good times to break big news.

It is crucial that you spill the beans at the right time and place. Be emotionally ready for some of your love ones to flip the script or be mad for not sharing this earlier. They might feel betrayed or neglected. So, your comeback must be tight. Your hubbie could assist you in this revelation or you might not want him to see your family act the fool, because that may be expected, but that's natural.

The bottom line is you have to be real about it. Getting this of your chest will help you and your relationship grow. There won't be limitations, and there will be no secrets unless there is something else you have no told me about. Deadline is Monday before publication

If you have something to share with the Bison send your , submissions at [email protected]
