I read something on this once. I don't have the link, but I'll summarize as best I can. It was a piece written by a TS on why some men desire TSs more than GGs. The very nature is how much we desire...

I didn't read everyone's responses, not enough time. However, I feel like I was already the housewife in my relationship. That was when we were in college all the way up until now still. It tends to...

And once again, you took things from various parts of the convo and put them together, plus you made assumptions. Our Disney trip is with my parents, and was planned out when my wife was 2 months...

Um, I'm sorry busker, but I think you were a bit off the mark.
You can't quote something from way back in the conversation without taking into account what she just said...

As for your points, I...

Oh heck yeah. My brother of course. My father is very involved in my son's life already. Most of my friends are male.
I think I want to give it some more time, only because I promised I would. We...

Yes, I guess that's probably what my wife sees. Sure there's prejudice and such, but I suppose she sees that I win no matter what.

And Paula, lol, I have a son. I'm not sure if I mixed up my words...

Yes, but with our relationship, only one of us can compromise. If I compromise, I don't get to transition. If she compromises, she has to live with a woman for the rest of her life (which I'm not...

Ok, I don't want to make an assumption, but it sounds like you're CD, and have never had feelings of being trans. I merely stated that I didn't want to have another child, not only for my own...

kimdl, while I understand where you're coming from, and I am giving it some time before giving up, I also need to watch out for myself. I very much doubt if we had a second child, and I...

Well, I agree with that. I don't want to be shelling out twice as much child support ... The really difficult thing is, at least with my experience, I'm always the bad guy . Her parents say they...

I guess to me I want things to be ok, but I feel like we're both not being completely truthful to one another. We both have a "maybe" statement on our side. She tells me that "Maybe I'll be...

Yes, it does seem like that's where this is all going to go. Honestly, I know why she is so stubborn about staying. She doesn't want to be a single mom. I have tried telling her that this happens...

Perhaps. Sadly, it's a little late for that option. I had planned on waiting until September to tell my wife, but when I told my mom, I was afraid she and my dad would act differently around me, and...

It happens to me all the time. I just love seeing what women are wearing, and sometimes I want to ask where they got it, but I haven't gone out en femme much yet. I need a little more effort to pass....

I see all of your points. I am taking it day by day, or trying to at least. I can't transition now anyway, since there are no laws protecting my job. But, I do agree it wouldn't be wise to have...

thothing that bugs me is whenever I suggest seeing a therapist or marriage counselor, it always becomes "we don't need them, we'll figure it out together.

Out to her, but if she hasn't told anyone, you pulled her in. Wish mine had gone that way.

Ok, so this is going to be a bit long, so bear with me. I'm also going to post this in the MTF section as well, as it is relevant.
My wife and I are still together right now, and are at middle...

Thanks everyone for all your advice, suggestions, etc.
I know it's gonna take a lot of work. On the bright side of things, our next door neighbor knows everything, and she's a therapist who does...

So, my wife works at an urgent care center, and we've often discussed me showing up at her work, especially in the case of an emergency (we have an 11 month old, so there's saying something). I told...

I am essentially the same person. I feel I have been happier, but I don't believe I changed much. The only thing my wife said (today actually) was that when I'm Chelsea, I tend to be more into...

Dawn,

Yeah, we were there already. Only a week after I came out to her, and she left me, but only for a day. She wanted so badly to keep us together that she came back. We had been on the road to...

Ok, I'm gonna try to answer everything that was asked. I'll just read through each post and answer if it's not a repeated question.

Jennifer: no, I never expected her to stay when I first came out...

Wow. Do you have Skype? That's sort of what I'm going for, building a foundation for her to understand how to live with another woman. Probably not SRS, unless I hit the lottery, but yes, HRT. I...

Ok, so the deal my wife and I made pretty much allows me to be full time as Chelsea, with the exception of certain situations. I can't be Chelsea at work (too risky on losing my job), and I have to...
