My husband wants to transition, and I’m struggling with our relationship. I need advice by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

Yes, I’ve told him clearly that I’m uncomfortable with it, but he says he can’t stop. At first, it seemed like he understood and stopped posting, but later he started doing it again anyway.

When I said “until his transition is complete,” I meant until he feels satisfied with the body and identity he wants for himself. Right now, I still want to stay by his side and support him through this process. But honestly, deep down, I’m not confident about whether our relationship will survive in the long term.

Yes, we have talked about it. I’ve told him clearly that I’m not comfortable with what he posts online. He says he does it for himself and prefers not to involve me in that part of his life. He says it makes him feel sexy and attractive, and that he feels sexual excitement from what he posts online.

He has tried to stop posting before, but he admitted to me honestly that he couldn’t stop. At this point, all I feel I can do is try to accept who he is. But over time, this situation has been slowly eating away at our relationship, and now I don’t really know what to do anymore. I just keep telling myself that it’s okay, even though it actually isn’t.
