Actually, ALL of my really deep fears have come to pass. April 23, 2016...My wife of 29 years announced that she could no longer live with a man "who wants to be a woman." The fact that my next door neighbor & friend moved into the house a month after I left is purely coincidental.........
In one fell swoop I lost my wife, my home, and half of my friends. Now, if I happen to bump into any of her friends around town, they give me the stink eye and then snub me.
The only thing that remains is my beautiful daughter who accepts me as I am. flaws & all, although I have been hesitant to share more than showing some of the things I have bought. I am afraid of losing her, even though the chance is slight, and I wouldn't be able to cope if I lost her love as well.
So yeah, the fears ARE real, and calling them "irrational" just because they haven't happened to YOU (general pronoun) is slightly pretentious, IMO.
