It worked out well.

A very similar thing happened when I spilled the bipolar news on my boyfriend. He told me about his mental health challenges first. I was thankful it happened that way.
Then ironically, I found out my step-mom (who set us up), had already told him I was bipolar ahead of time! I was anxious for weeks over something that was never an issue!!!
