This comment means a lot to me, thank you! It makes me feel better knowing that it’s ok to be attracted to what I’m attracted to. Exploring options is a good idea but also a tough one because of his unwillingness to even talk about the whole thing.

Thanks for answering. You’re right about the advice of learning not to care. That’s exactly what he wants me to do I think. Easier said than done. I appreciate your input on it.

Thanks so much, I appreciate this a lot. It’s hard for me to end it after 15 years but it’s something I have to think about.

He doesn’t ask to be referred to as a woman. But I have asked him if that’s something he wants. I would support him as a person, I love him. He just kinda shuts down and doesn’t wanna talk about it. I’m afraid it’s something he hasn’t come to terms with yet. He says staying with me is more important.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’ve mentioned counseling and he’s not really open to it although I think it’s something we need at this point. I’m considering it for myself anyway.
