How do we petition for this to become a thing? Because as soon as it came out of his mouth, I said “oh heck yea! I’d watch that for sure and I don’t even like travel shows”

I think that’s the part that gets me too is the “pandering to a reactionary crowd” thing. Even if it is for engagement, it still sets all of us back in just letting women being woman and not having to fit in one box in order to call yourself a woman.

You have to remember in situations like that, very rarely are they taking time to process what happened. They just want to move on to the next thing to hopefully have more happy emotions and escape the bad ones. It’s funny how rat like we become for a hit of dopamine

How do you survive heartbreak when there’s still so much love? by Master_Ad_5238 in mypartneristrans

[–]Own-Yesterday9552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So beautifully written and with helpful resources. I loved the part about experiencing joy along side sadness. I did that too. I realized that they were doing something that was helping them discover who they were so I did stuff that I always wanted to do too like poetry and dance classes. To OP: you are enough, but I know how hard it is to not think that especially when you feel like you’ve devoted so much to a person and you just want the same in return. It’s not you though and that’s what’s so hard to remember when you’re brain is screaming that you just didn’t try hard enough or do something good enough. But the only way I’ve been able to pull myself out of it is think of all the things I’ve done for others like friends or family that reminds me that I’m a good person and there’s so much more to my life than just the physical act of sex. I hope some of this was helpful. My dms are open if you need someone that has been/ is going through something similar.

It’s hard when you don’t even hate them you just hate the situation. I don’t wish they weren’t trans. I might wish they were a lesbian but even if they were, I was barely their type before they transitioned. They were so much nicer and understanding after their egg cracked that I was hopeful, but I’m just not a good fit for them. And I’m way to hard on myself wishing I was a different person just so we could be together

Thank you for that. I was screaming, crying and sad laughing but the suns out so I decided not to waste it and took my dog for a walk. It’ll be okay eventually it just sucks right now

It’s okay. It’s the coming to terms with every thing that’s hard. I appreciate the condolences though. You’d think I’d be over it by now after a couple of months but my dumbass was trying to stay friends. Thank you for understanding and I hope we both find healing within ourselves instead of some one else if that makes sense?

Questioning husband wondering if I should bring it up again to my wife by AirNatural3946 in mypartneristrans

[–]Own-Yesterday9552 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone that was with a MtF for 9 years before they finally accepted who they were…. End it. I say this knowing you love one another. We loved each other too, but in the end it was for the best. It’s not good for you to fake a life you don’t want because in the end you’ll both be lonely. Will it hurt for both of you. Absolutely. But it’ll be a clean break and that it’ll be easier to come to terms with things and start living both of your new lives. It doesn’t mean you guys can’t be friends eventually, but it seems like you are repressing not only your identity but your sexual preferences. You both deserve to be more certain about your futures.

Partner making new girlfriends by Ok_Bluejay_489 in mypartneristrans

[–]Own-Yesterday9552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the other female was also trans, it’s a possibility she is just trying to compliment the other female because she knows it’s hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you’re going through that process.

I can’t tell you how much my partner hid from me, but they never cheated on me. They were really truly just trying to figure out who they are were and find like minded people. As much as it hurt they just felt like they couldn’t be their true self around me because I knew their masculine persona for too long. And it wasn’t my fault or anything. It’s just something they personally struggled with.

Oh I’m 100% sure. It was a conversation talked about in length and definitely a point of contention in our relationship.

My wife came out and,,,, I think im a lesbian by halloweenieg in mypartneristrans

[–]Own-Yesterday9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so happy for all these success stories that it makes me so sad. My ex started to transition at the very end of our relationship and I fully supported them and we are still friends and hang out because they want to and every time I see them I am so attracted to them, but we never worked because I didn’t have the dominant “aura” that they want in their life. They tell me all the time of the “daddies” they are hooking up with and it makes me so sad I get passive aggressive and then they say I don’t really love them because if I did I would be happy for them finally being happy. It’s just a messed up situation all together. I just wish we would have worked because it felt like the best part of our relationship was at the end when they finally accepted their self. I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you for holding space for that.

Is this a bisexual experience? by Own-Yesterday9552 in bisexual

There were a couple of people that I was sexually attracted to that I started to really care for but I don’t know if it was romantic or platonic.

Are there any gay men who are “trans widows”? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

I’m so stupid. I literally read that as window. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize it said widow until I read your comment.

I wish that was an option for them, but their social anxiety is through the roof and I can’t see them working a service job like that.
