Please let us know how that turns out. I've been terrified to tell my fiercely traditional family that I'm bisexual.

Sure. I'll be doing it later this month.

That is if this technique gets me to actually do it!

How did it go? Were your family okay with it? Was the technique effective?

Before I brought it up, I saw some signs of possible agreement with my viewpoint from my wife. I put off pressing the issue until I can determine what these signs I saw were are all about.

Hopefully, I'm not just deluding myself to avoid the hard decision.

Depends on what specific information are you waiting for before you can decide. If it's something that won't happen soon or indeed ever it's more likely to be delusion. If it's something you can figure out in a week or just ask then it's more likely to be legitimate. Best of luck
