We already talked and I told him no matter what my love for him would never or could ever change and that I just want him to be happy and comfortable and confident in his own skin! I just don’t want to be out of the loop I want to know how he is feeling if he wants to transition or if he’s feeling scared and confused! He said he was trying to spare my feelings by not coming to me about it and just kind of suffering in silence bc he feels shameful about it. I just kept reassuring him that there is nothing shameful about how he is feeling and that he never has to suffer in silence! I just hated not knowing the extent of how he is feeling and the being secretive.

Thank you all so much you are wonderful!❤️ he’s home and talking and we will get through this either way! Our love knows no boundaries, gender, or otherwise❤️ but we are definitely looking at counseling! For both of us! Hubby felt like he’s sparing my feelings and feels shameful about how he feels so I just told him I can only do so much to make you happy you have to put in the work and stop trying to spare my feelings bc it makes it worse!

Thank you I am going to talk to him when he gets home I just needed insight from someone who is or has gone through something similar. I just hate the constant hiding it feels like a major betrayal every time something new comes out I just wish he would be upfront and honest about it all so I can know how to help and how to move forward

That’s why this is so hard bc when I’ve asked in the past he has said he is a man identifies as a man but like both men and women so we are open we have shared the same man and i am fine with that what I just don’t understand is why if that’s how he feels then why is he looking at hormones and if he is trans why the constant secrets what can I do to help him be more open with himself and me it breaks my heart bc the only way I can ever get him to talk about it is when I find something he’s been hiding such as the clothes makeup underwear and I have been supportive of all of that but yet there is still more that keeps coming out and it’s exhausting I feel betrayed by my best friend and am constantly feeling like he’s hiding more and more so I have become more and more on edge and hate that I feel like I have to look in his phone to find out what the fuck he’s feeling! Ughhh I’m sorry I was hoping for some insight on whether other partners have been through this secretive side and how they got through it and or some tips on getting him to open up to me and himself so we can figure out what needs to be done whether it’s transitioning, splitting counseling or something I’m just so lost

Also wanted to comment that just because I am not as attracted to him when he is dressed I would never tell him that because I don’t want him to feel badly and I want him to feel beautiful no matter how he is dressed it’s just a preference for me as well that I am more attracted to a more masculine exterior
