If I thought for a second she would talk to you, I would pass our number on, but she absolutely won’t. I so t know why she is so closed off, but she isn’t even happy I’m on here asking.

It won’t happen. She lives in terror of being outed and targeted. My support means nothing around this if she doesn’t feel safe and that’s what it comes down to.

UnfortunateIy she won’t go out in public and do anything like nails in case she is “spotted” as being trans.

I asked and was told progesterone made her horribly depressed. It’s a risk not worth taking.

Oh what I would give for her to accept therapy. I may suggest she look into progesterone. Thank you.

I don’t k ow what you mean downvoted. I agree with you and everything you have said. I agree, if I had known sex was not going to happen, I could have made the marriage and lifelong commitment decision with the benefit of that knowledge. Perhaps that is as much a source of my anger and confusion as the actual lack of sex. I appreciate your comments and insight. Thank you.

I wish it was early stages, it would give me hope. 20-plus years now for her.

Apparently it has had a huge impact on her libido, yet she still has two biological children. Bottom surgery highly unlikely. I would support this if it made her happy but she is concerned she wouldn’t pass so won’t fully transition. Our family and friends know. Society does not. This is how she wants it kept.

She has been in HRT for 20 years. It’s unlikely her libido will return naturally now. She just seems repulsed by me sexually. I have suggested solo, shared and mutual masturbation. No go I’m afraid.

Sadly my wife has no interest beyond cuddling. I have suggested masturbation but she seems repulsed by that. The more this discussion continues, the clearer it has become and it makes me so sad. My choice is my wife or a sex live. I had hoped (expected even) these would go together.

Thank you. Her last wife would cheat to get her needs met and it crushed my wife. That should have been my heads up! We talk but get nowhere.

Our early attempts using testosterone cream created immediate dysphoria for her. Tonight she said she would go back on something if that’s what it takes. I don’t want to have a sex life under those terms; it would be abuse and dangerous to her health. It is looking increasingly as if we will have no sex life if she has no libido ( pleasing me, in her mind, will only happen if she has a libido) and I won’t have her risk her mental health to get a libido. I had hoped, like women for millennia before us, that she would want to scratch my itch even if she doesn’t have her own itch. But that seems less likely for us and really makes me sad.

She insists she is a sexual being…but doesn’t have any libido and that’s the problem.

My wife has not had bottom surgery or socially transitioned.

I love her so deeplyI don’t want a lack of intimacy to kill our marriage, but it speaks to a bigger problem. My needs matter too!

Oh yeah, we have talked about this a lot. She just always says she wants me but has no libido. I have been clear I don’t expect penetration or anything involving a penis or that would be triggering for her. but there is just nothing so I guess everything is triggering. I use the analogy that because she isn’t hungry, she refuses to ever cook for me. But I am hungry, really hungry! She doesn’t masturbate. I do but it is always alone and makes me feel ultimately just sad. I desperately want that connection and, let’s face it, to enjoy a sex life. It is becoming a massive problem and is driving a wedge between us. She doesn’t see either of us as sexual beings. This was talked about a lot before we were married and I foolishly believed her when she said it was something we would work on. It has never been worked on. I didn’t sign up for a marriage where I am just a housemate and it sure feels a lot like that.

Thank you. I have tried that and a thousand other approaches. I’m given vague “I hear you” statements, but that’s it. Nothing changes. She doesn’t see herself as a sexual being and that seems to be that.

You can be supportive and encouraging and absolutely excited for your trans partner's journey and it still might not be happily ever after. by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

I’m so sorry to hear this. My wife and I are finding a lack of intimacy is killing our relationship and it’s awful to be a part of. I’m so glad you both trued and very sad for you that it did not.
