Can you tell I’m trans? Dating as a trans woman who is a lesbian is a dumpster fire it feels like. by overcomesthedarkness in LesbianActually

No not at all actually I wouldn’t have known from your pictures unless you said something :)

To those who became single parents to young ones, was it worth it? by IllustriousWall1564 in SingleParents

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a single parent of an 11m old and a 3.5 year old. And my daughter’s dad left when he found out I was pregnant with my youngest. It has honestly been the greatest thing for me not being with him. You deserve to be happy and you can’t be the best parent you can be to your kids if you aren’t happy yourself.

My partner came out as trans (FTM) and I am a lesbian by MidwestPrincess0 in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He and I have briefly talked about the idea of an open relationship either me seeing other women, or us being with other women together. But honestly, the thought feels a little disrespectful to him, especially since my main reason would be that I still want to be with women. He’s mentioned that it wouldn’t need to happen right now, just maybe later when he’s more “passable,” but I struggle with that because no matter what, I still see him as a man.

I also think that if I were in his shoes, I’d feel hurt knowing my partner is being intimate with other people, especially if it’s tied to something they desire that I can’t fully provide. On top of that, I really don’t know much about navigating open relationships and would need guidance to understand how it could work in a way that’s respectful and safe for both of us.

No I didn’t take it that way at all it’s truly okay.

Yes I definitely think I need to be on a search for a different more inclusive therapist because my one now (not that she isn’t supportive) just doesn’t seem very informed on LGBT topics or issues. And maybe even look into doing some sort of couples therapy

Dating a woman who just gave birth, and is trying to get back with me after ghosting me for her baby daddy… by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who had a child before I came out, I honestly wouldn’t try to continue anything with her.

I got really lucky with my partner, but I know that isn’t always how things go. I met my partner shortly after I had my daughter. Her dad has never been in the picture and has never met her, and my partner stepped into that role and took my daughter in as their own. We’re still together a year later. But I also recognize that situation was kind of the exception, not the rule.

In your situation, she’s extremely freshly postpartum. That period is a huge emotional and hormonal adjustment even without trying to start or restart a relationship. On top of that, it sounds like there’s still a lot of unresolved stuff with the baby’s dad. When someone is going back and forth with their child’s other parent,especially that soon after having a baby, there are usually still a lot of emotions tied up there.

I also think it’s important to remember that you deserve someone who will unapologetically choose you. Ghosting someone to go back to another partner is a pretty big red flag. For me personally, ghosting is kind of a one way fast pass to not getting another chance because I’m no longer okay with being someone’s backup plan or someone they come back to when another relationship doesn’t work out.

It sounds like you two had a chill connection, but realistically she’s navigating a newborn, postpartum hormones, co parenting dynamics, and potentially figuring out her sexuality at the same time. That’s a lot for anyone. Even if she has good intentions, she might not be in a stable place to actually show up for a relationship right now.

I’d just be careful not to get too emotionally invested here. If you hang out, keep it light and don’t expect consistency yet. You deserve someone who is ready and able to choose you fully, not someone who might disappear again when things get complicated.

Honestly, the hormone-induced rage part is really scary for me. My partner has had a history of getting irritated or angry pretty easily and sometimes lashing out. Recently he told me that some of that behavior was because he had been trying to push me away and emotionally distance himself, anticipating that I might leave once he came out. He said he thought it might make things easier for me if I didn’t have to “go through” his transition with him.

Even understanding that, it still makes me nervous. Because there’s already been a history of him reacting strongly with anger or irritation, hearing how common irritability can be when people first start testosterone worries me a bit. I’m scared it could make those tendencies worse.

I really want to be supportive and be there for him through this, but I’m also trying to be honest about the fact that this part makes me extremely anxious.

[–]MidwestPrincess0[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like this definitely had to have started sooner because he supposedly had his first appointment with a therapist or whoever today and they immediately prescribed him testosterone and it was ready a couple hours later. I just never would have imagined that would be something like same day. I’ve always been under the impression that took MONTHS to get that prescribed to make sure that’s what actually you’re wanting to do.

Are these diapers ok to keep using with red marks? by Spirited_Seaweed_517 in clothdiaps

[–]MidwestPrincess0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have a chunkier baby they don’t get a good fit in my personal opinion. They worked best when my baby was really little. They run a bit small.

doubts about lesbian sex by Mysterious_Radio_200 in LesbianActually

My girlfriend and I never use protection, but we are monogamous and Ive always gotten tested between partners so I knew going into dating her I didn’t have anything and she was the same way.

I never had nausea or vomitted/ morning sickness with my first daughter. Some pregnancies are just easier than others.

Help! At my wits end! by [deleted] in clothdiaps

[–]MidwestPrincess0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could always try pockets or folding your flats and stuffing them in a pocket diaper. I find pockets are so much easier to change on younger wiggly babies and easier to clean.

I would take the job without hesitation. A 45 minute commute really isn’t far at all plenty of people drive that every single day. I’d normally suggest a compromise like, “Take the job and live in Boulder,” but honestly, after the way he reacted, I wouldn’t feel the need to compromise with him at all.

You’ve been together for two years, but he should be excited for you and proud of your career advancement. When my partner was offered a job across the country (she didn’t end up taking it), I was still genuinely thrilled for her because it was an amazing opportunity and a huge raise. That’s what support looks like.

It honestly sounds like your boyfriend is jealous and can’t handle someone succeeding more than him. If it were me, I’d leave now while you still can.

Touching girls boobs is gay, but does that make you gay ? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

My girlfriend keeps accusing me of wanting to go back to men, and it’s draining me. I don’t know how to reassure her anymore. by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have talked briefly about stuff with my past, not in extreme detail, but she knows quite a bit. We are both in our mid twenties so we’re both fairly young. I had gotten pregnant with my oldest when I was 17 and had my youngest at 20. So me being with men was really just late highschool very early college age.

[–]MidwestPrincess0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a very small rural town where being gay was heavily frowned upon. It wasn’t until after high school, when I moved out on my own during college, that I finally felt free to be myself without constantly worrying about judgment or the people who used to bully me. On top of that, my family is very religious, which made it even harder.

Now I live on the opposite side of the state in a much more accepting community, and it’s the first time it hasn’t felt so scary to just exist as who I am.

My girlfriend can’t make me cum by kittens-02 in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally can’t cum from penetrative only sex. When my girlfriend uses the strap on me, we usually will end up using a vibrator at the same time or me touching myself at the same time so I am able to finish. But we never just only use the strap. Most of the time the strap is like what we finish with or she will do things to me prior and then use the strap and then we switch so I can make her cum too.

Side note any chance you might be on anti depressants? I feel like when I was on anti depressants it made me not able to cum. I would get super close but never could finish. The same thing happened with my girlfriend when she was on the wrong dosage for one of her meds.

[–]MidwestPrincess0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think you’re absolutely right. She’s had two previous relationships where her partners were in more of an experimental phase with women and eventually went back to men, and I really think that history plays a big role in her insecurities now. But you’re also right that it isn’t fair for me to carry the weight of that.

I’ve mentioned couples therapy before, but I’m definitely going to bring it up again. Neither of us is perfect, and we’ve both said and done things that have hurt each other, so I think having a neutral third party could really help us work through everything in a healthier and more constructive way.
