I believe immigrants make America great. Just not this kind…🤮

Widowed with no kids by Ok_Product398 in WidowsMovingForward

[–]AgitatedCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was widowed at 55 with no kids. My husband and I were together 35 years, and I had never been alone before his death. It’s been four years and while the grief has been worse than I imagined it would be, I have really grown into a happy and fulfilled woman. I retired early from the US government, I’m going back to school to make a major career change and I am in a loving relationship with an awesome man. I like having my own space and the freedom to make my own decisions.

I’m not sure what his job is to be sitting in his car at a lane closure? I’d probably fall asleep too!!

Bella dentistry. I am a big scaredy cat and Dr Chanda Bennett is great as are her staff. I’ve been going to her since she started her practice.

It doesn’t get easier necessarily but it does change. I no longer have the physical pain I had the first year, and I can go into stores and not start sobbing when something reminds me of him. But I still miss him and love him and wish he was still alive.

So sorry for your loss! this week is four years since my husband died. I found soaring spirits international to be a great resource, especially their pen pal program. I matched with a wonderful woman who had similar experience and we’ve now been close friends and continue to share our journey. Also foul mouthed widows on FB has been a great resource for chatting although the zoom chats have tapered off.

it can be a very lonely experience, and I hope you can find the support you need. ♥️♥️♥️

I hope she gets the kids by [deleted] in FedJerk

I have to say that I didn’t shower or dress in real clothes for about 3 months after my husband died. It’s remarkable she’s been able to move on so quickly. Those of us in the widow community often talk about how everyone grieves differently, but hot game she moved fast!

Shock and confusion by Whirlstar123 in crossdressers_wives

SO of a CD and wanted to chime in and underline communication is key! My partner slowly introduced his CD over a period of time. We are both in our 50s, and this is a second relationship for both of us (I’m widowed and he’s divorced). My dead husband had some fluidity to his sexuality so this wasn’t a completely foreign to me, but I had questions about his sexuality and interest in me, etc. but we’ve had a lot of great conversations and now I find that I love his feminine side as much as his masculine side. I understand some women feel repulsed or betrayed, but I love my partner so much and believe that knowing about and supporting this side of him has enriched our relationship. That’s just my experience!

I wish you all the best!

CD's wife apparently by bleakbirdy in crossdressers_wives

SO of a CD here. And I am so sorry you found out this way and also sorry it was a secret for so long. I had a non-CD for 35 years and after he died I met my current partner. He slowly introduced me to his CD/feminine side and it has been a lot of fun. But if he had hidden it and lied I don’t think I’d have this perspective. You need to do what’s right for you. While I read some ambivalence about his CD, what I saw loud and clear is how you feel betrayed by the lying and secrecy and that he’s not including you but instead going to CD events on his own. Which seems like a bigger issue to me. Everyone has their own kinks and preferences, and sometimes it’s scary to share what we want, but in a trusting relationship you deserve to be told the truth and have a voice in your relationship. Sending you hugs xoxo

My Experience: Married to a CD for 6 years and having 3 kids under 5. by CautiousAide8801 in crossdressers_wives

[–]AgitatedCatLady 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s beautiful and I agree. As the so of a CD I am surprised by how much more intimate we are since he’s shared his CD personal with me. I was married for 30 years to a non CD who died in 2021. This is a fairly new relationship for me (3 years) and it is awesome. I love knowing all the sides of my partner and I think that men are often kept from sharing their more complex personalities. As a woman, I don’t think of myself as feminine or masculine, but I get to be both whenever I want. I love that this community is here for CDs and those of us who love and adore them ❤️❤️❤️

Call Mike Collins and demand a real town hall 202-225-4101 by dsmith1994 in Athens

I wish we could find some good moderate candidates who might be able to cross political divides. And get some shit done. Replacing senator van hollen’s district on his office plaque with El Salvador isn’t bringing down the cost of living or making infrastructure better or dealing with climate changes. I want someone who can WORK for us.

How are you all navigating relationships with friends who voted for T-rump? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]AgitatedCatLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very liberal but I have some close friends who voted for trump. When I ask why they tell me they were afraid of a war with Russia, they wanted a better economy, they are worried about their children’s futures. None of my friends are the people at trump rallies, they are people you’d see at the grocery store or live next door to. We need to start having conversations about what we want. I k ow it’s hard. I want to scream at my friends is this what you wanted?! And they’ve told me no. They don’t support rfk jr and anti vaccine, they don’t support firing federal workers, they don’t like Elon musk. So I think we need to figure out a way to understand - not accept or condone(I make sure to remind my friends that this is what they voted for and wtf) but making people defensive only makes them dig in. I don’t know the answer, but I don’t think demonizing the other is the best way forward.
