Afraid still!

Darla, you are dealing with some of the most basic and profound issues that anyone will ever face. I am lucky in that I have found a therapist who both my wife and I really like and she helps us work through our issues. If you haven't yet, I encourage you to find yourself a supportive and understanding therapist.

Darla,

Believe me I know this pain all too well. :O(
Stay strong, work on you and keep moving forward.
I believe in you and love you sis.

I agree with Laura. But be ready for feelings of resentment and anger from your spouse; I'm married, and I'm transitioning, so I understand.

I'm unclear on your blog post - does the wife already know you are considering or pursuing transition?

My sister was and is such a blessing for me in my transition, I'm glad to hear you are finding support from yours. It's so scary, but it does get better.

Darla, I'm wondering also about where your wife sits as far as remaining a couple pre/post transitioning?
It would seem that you are the one wanting to move on.
Do you have to, do you want to, does she want you to, does she insist that you do?
Sorta left in two minds about offering any insight I might have, when it is so unclear.
Having said that, I wish you pleasure in life as a woman facing the world.
I know and understand how beautiful it is.
