About 3 weeks ago, my wife asked if she could tell her therapist that I was transgendered. So I said sure if it will help us get through all of this. Well today, I was the third member of the session. I know this doctor and we have worked before on other issues. So anyway, my wife says all is fine, but when I put on makeup to go eat, she does not want to be the one to explain my transgender-ism to a family member. She said either go out all the way, or stay in! She also said she wants a man in the bed, not a pink gown. BTW, I wear a gown every night for the past 7 years. That is going to be difficult to stop.
I think we made progress. My wife allows me to do nearly anything I desire. I would never want to put her in a position that is uncomfortable for her. I am almost to the point where I don't care if her family knows. I think her daughters know already. For now, I think I will chill as we have a wedding for her youngest daughter coming up this Saturday. I am the cook for the 60 guests coming after the rehearsal dinner. I have pulled pork, beans, slaw, baked potatoes and all the stuff that goes with it. No time to think about pink gowns right now, right??
It saddens me that my wife has finally said she does not like this part of me. She has always been the most supportive woman I have ever known. I hope we can find an even ground on this issue. Sorry I am just venting. Feel free to comment!!! Any advice is you have is appreciated.
