Sorry I am posting so late, just never seem to be able to sit for a while. So EJ and I went out last week, we spent most of the evening getting ready to go...lots of shaving and make-up and doing hair. We picked out outfits, I made her try on at least four or five outfits! She was still extremly nervous and didn't feel comfortable going in anywhere so we went through the drive thru at TacoBell then we went by RedBox and she got out of the car with me to pick a movie. While we were there a…See More

Well I haven't been on for a while, I have had a lot to deal with the last few months but I did want to let you all know..you have not been forgotten. My spouse and I are going to have a much needed date night on Saturday and she is going to dress up to go out, this is a big deal to her because she hasn't left the house dressed up except one other time and she stayed in the car for the entire trip. I was wondering is there anything special you guys can suggest that I do to make her feel more…See More

I messed up, I made a really bad decision and I hurt the person I love the most, my EJ. I broke her heart and I have no idea how to fix it. All I know is more then likely she will never trust me or even love me the same ever again. We are too very different people, I love openly and am quick to forgive the wrongs done to me. EJ is very skeptical about love and doesn't give her heart away freely. She has a very hard time forgiving especially if she trusted you. I knew this about her yet I…

It's days like this that just confirms I wouldn't make it a week by myself. My EJ is going to be gone for a day or so for training and I am left with the kids until her return. The work day isn't even over yet and I'm starting to feel the sadness and anxiety building up inside me...and this is only for one day!!! I hate how sad it makes me to be alone because I wish I could be more independent but at the same time it strengthens my resolve that I do need Elaina in my life. I just hope these…

Petra Renée Dehmler said… Megan,
I am fairly certain that Nancy would like to talk with you. I don't know if you are willing to share a private email address, and I apologize to all the others in the group for this, but I am pretty sure the only way she would be comfortable with is one-to-one. If you OK with that please send me your email to petra62645@rochester.rr.com, and I will forward it to Nancy. I can give you a bit more information about us, here goes:
At this point, things have, from my point of view, taken a turn somewhat for the worse, or maybe it's for the better, I am not sure. She has moved out of our house and is living in a condo that her father owns about 25 minutes from the house we have been in for almost 40 years. When she moved out, it was a pretty permanent sort of a thing, she took everything that was hers and quite a bit of the stuff that I thought of as ours. That makes me feel like she does not really plan on returning. We have both been having a very tough week or so as she moved on Friday the 13th (go figure) and so it's still pretty raw for both of us.I don't mean to imply we are on bad terms, quite the contrary. We have seen each other about every day or so with maybe one or two days when we didn't, and we talk at least a couple of times a day on the phone. But I have such a bad feeling about this.The good news (for us as a couple) is that this really made me examine myself, and thanks to a wonderful friend I made on the internet who wouldn't let me blame it on the transition, I have come to realize just how awful I was to her. It was in a few big ways, but mostly in a lot of little (or maybe medium sized) things that just built up over the years.I have listed all the things which I either must not do that I did, or must do that I didn't. I am up to two pages and 30 or 40 items. What an ass I have been. Not that I am all bad, but wow the things I did. I am sure if you talk, she can tell you better than I.Regarding the transition, Nan would not let me stop, or rather, she said it wouldn't change her moving out if I stopped. She recognizes how necessary this is for me, and in fact, I believe that it has only been the dropping of the facade I held up for the world (and for myself too) for all those years - I never tried to fool her, although she felt that way, I didn't know myself what it was.But now, I have no more secrets and in some ways, that was both harder and easier for us I think. Harder because I wanted to go far faster than she was able to be comfortable with, and easier, because without having been able to get out from behind the person I hid behind, I could not have realized how much I love her and been able to tell her.We are both seeing therapists, or I should say I am and she is looking for the right therapist. She has seen a couple so far, one of whom I am very glad she decided not to continue with and one who is someone she likes, but Nancy is a person who has to try on all the shoes before she buys the pair she likes best. I am sure you can relate to that.Anyway, I wanted to give you what I think is at least a somewhat unbiased idea of where things stand so you could save time and get to talking w/o a lot of explaining. I am sure Nan will have something to say, to add, to my story. I hope you two can talk and maybe help each other.Petra

Elizabeth Hanks said… I'm cis with a TS girlfriend. I know it can be hard. I don't understand her at all sometimes, and it's really difficult to find people like me who can't figure out how to proceed; are we doing too much? Too little? What? It's frustrating when all we want to do is help, and at the same time we try to take care of ourselves, too.
