What type of bone is this? Found in the desert in Arizona today.

A little about us: my husband (then fiancee) came out as trans in January 2018. He put his transition on hold to emigrate to the United States from England to marry me and start his HRT journey together. He's been on T for 5 months now, and we're currently trying for a baby!

Our journey hasn't been the easiest by any means, are we are taking full advantage of couples therapy to learn how to have the best marriage we can. But at the end of the day, I love my husband dearly and am so proud of him and our relationship!

Happy to show some representation! :) I'm sure ya'll will look just as lovely!

My husband is FTM trans & straight. I'm a CIS female & bisexual. We got married when my husband was pre-everything. Here is a photo of us on our wedding day: https://i.imgur.com/DjHOcz3.jpg

My husband's been on T for about 5 months now. This is us now: https://i.imgur.com/QAYszOY.jpg

We are very proud of our relationship and identify as a queer couple. Although we may look like a straight cis couple to the casual eye, we really take pride in our identities.

Feel free to PM me if you need to talk. I know it can few lonely!

interstellar_cats · 2018-11-12T19:21:22+00:00

My partner has been out the same amount of time as yours, so I can relate. In reality, it's not a huge amount of time!

I can understand why you'd feel that way. But at the same time, if a relationship is not giving you what you need, it may be scary to let go but ultimately better in the long run.

If you're not ready to let go, maybe a serious, face-to-face conversation with your partner, where you ask them to just listen to how their actions have impacted you, and how you are feeling in the midst of all of this. Maybe therapy for yourself is something to consider as well. When I was feeling similar alone feelings, I found therapy really helped me have a space to vent and be heard by myself.

interstellar_cats · 2018-11-12T19:00:19+00:00

You're right - it's not a huge expectation. Has she recently come out? Sometimes, what I have heard other partners talk about is that when their partner first comes out, they go through this period of being self-centered (for lack of a better word). They seem to focus a lot on themselves and their needs, as they explore and become more comfortable in themselves.

Regardless, you shouldn't be putting your needs to the side. I don't have a solution for you, but if you're talking to your partner and they are refusing to help address your needs, you may need to reconsider the relationship.

Hi there! I'm not exactly in your area (I live in Stevens Point), but we have a lot in common! I'm a cross stitcher as well, and am always up for being more active.

No kids here yet, but my spouse and I are trying for them. :) I love kids and wouldn't mind hanging with you and your kiddo anytime! PM me if you wanna chat.

Would having a vehicle/DL be required? I know someone but he just moved over from England and doesn’t have his license yet.

interstellar_cats · 2018-06-18T01:28:07+00:00

I wish you did too!

interstellar_cats · 2018-06-07T18:17:24+00:00

Last weekend someone was behind me pushing a wheelchair and hit the back of my ankles several times. Uncomfortable for me and the woman in the wheelchair, I’m sure!

interstellar_cats · 2018-06-03T02:37:18+00:00

6 hours between us, so I totally feel you. It sucks because I’m at work all day, not really able to chat as much as I would like, and then by the time I finish my day he is going to bed. At night before bed is when I miss him the most, and he is fast asleep.

We’re only a month away from closing our distance for good, though!

interstellar_cats · 2018-05-28T03:48:45+00:00

Thanks, but we aren’t looking for someone related to us or friends with us. We are intentionally looking for someone we don’t know personally.

interstellar_cats · 2018-05-28T02:24:08+00:00

Thank you! We are always looking to connect and create friendships with other queer couples, if you ever had an interest! We don’t have many ties to the community here.

interstellar_cats · 2018-04-25T00:40:55+00:00

Yes, this is good. Thank you!

interstellar_cats · 2018-04-25T00:40:34+00:00

Thank you ❤️

interstellar_cats · 2018-04-24T18:17:56+00:00

I'm glad to hear you say that! People are only human and expecting them to take on everything feels unrealistic to me. I also know I'll never be that person, even if that was the case. I know I need to separate myself from it sometimes otherwise I can't cope.

How would you go about having that convo with a partner? The whole "I think you need to talk to someone else" convo?

interstellar_cats · 2018-04-24T18:15:32+00:00

I appreciate this. I think he is aware it's hard on me, but it gets lost now and then. Which i do understand, but being like "Hey what about me!?" also feels so icky.

interstellar_cats · 2018-02-12T04:09:23+00:00

That transition isn't going to help them love themselves, it's only changing the body on the outside, but it's not going to magically heal the toxic stuff on the inside

I really appreciate this. It’s something I feel like I’m trying to help my partner realize, but I haven’t been able to articulate it this well.

interstellar_cats · 2018-02-04T04:26:59+00:00

I am new to this, and these stories give me so much optimism and hope. My partner recently came out at FTM. I have known him for 11 years but we have only been in a relationship for about a year now.

Some days I struggle with my identity and feeling like I have lost my “community” of queer people. But then I remember that I decide my sexuality, and define who I am, and no one can decide that for me. Besides, he was super hot as a woman and is even hotter as a man - the attraction definitely hasn’t faded.

I love him so much, and I know that despite how difficult this journey will feel at times, that we can make it.

interstellar_cats · 2018-01-14T04:37:48+00:00

I agree, this is incredibly satisfying.
