Atheist With a Christian spouse

[Uzair]

48. No, SHE handled it poorly

I have to wonder just what kind of person your wife is, and whether you ought to reconsider your marriage to her based on what you've told us here.

First of all, if she claims to be a Christian, she certainly isn't acting very Christ like. And what, exactly, is the implication about handling it better if you were gay? Is she a homophobe on top of being a hypocrite?

There's no need for you to try and convince her or introduce her or whatever. If you can't even tell her something about yourself such as this without her freaking out about it, you've got bigger problems than incompatible religious beliefs. (Or, in your case, lack of belief).

I'd say you made no mistake at all, nor did you handle anything poorly. She's the one who is in the wrong here, not you. You probably ought to be asking her for an apology.
