Sorry Theresa. ..I'm not sure we are on the same page. The decision on the beach thing happened 20years ago...4 years BEFORE my husband and I even met.... so when we met and he decided to ask me to marry him, he already made that decision to leave the gurl behind.... to be the man for a young bride.....
now he wants acceptance or admires someone else who has an accepting wife....
me and my mother-in-law had an interesting discussion the other day.... about different type of relationships with a TG person...
whether her child is J.. or Jenny...boy or girl...it still is her child...
whether my husband is J... or Jenny he is still his cousin's cousin...
but my relationship with him is totally different... I didn't marry a 'human'... I married a man... so if he is J... he is the man I married...but if he is Jenny...the it changes my sexual orientation and cause me to be married to a girl....
my mother-in-law doesn't lose a child ...his cousin doesn't lose a cousin...but me...I become a widow when the skirt comes on....
