Well I am battling getting over my wife. I need help and ideas for getting over her. I am trying but it is just so difficult and being flooded with estro just makes me want to fix my relationship. She says I am creating hope for myself and I am in denial.

Unfortunately I married a heterosexual woman that does not want to be with a trans person. I am just to stupid to move on and accept that I lost her when I came out as trans as this is something I kept from her till after we were married and had a child.

She does not want to know anything about continuing with the relationship says we can stay friends. But I still love her.

How can I get over her! How did you get over your SO leaving you for being trans and rejecting you?


Excuse me for living

You will always miss her. She will always have a piece of your heart.

The point is to fill up the rest of it with other wonderful things.

Get involved in life. Volunteer somewhere to help make someone's life better. Take a class or study something online. Meet your neighbors or get to know them better. Bake/cook/make something and take it over. Reconnect with old friends or distant relatives. Build or create something. Get fit or take up some new exercise. Get involved in local politics or activism.

Fill your days with fun, useful activities. If it helps take your mind off your ex, great. If not, you will at least have a sense of accomplishment.

What Suzi said.  But, most important, tell yourself that you do not need to be with anyone to be complete.  Spend some serious time getting to know yourself.

My first wife cheated on me for two years and left me for the other guy, and yes it was devastating at the time.  Unlike your wife, she wanted to be a frenemy rather than a friend.  I thought she was just going to leave, but she circled back around and stayed around to make trouble.  I spent two years single after that, just spending time trying to figure myself out, and in some ways, it was the best two years of my life.

So count yourself lucky that your (soon to be) ex wants to still be friends.  Spend a lot of time on a trip of self discovery, and make it your trip.  Most important, make friends with people.  Join clubs, do volunteer work.  You need to build a new support system around yourself, and you need to do it as yourself, not as half of a couple.

And whatever you do, totally discard the possibility of any future romantic involvement with your ex.  You will only sabotage yourself and give yourself pain.  If it ever happens, wonderful, but if you depend on it, you poison yourself.

Become yourself, make lots of friends, and you will find what you are looking for -- but you will find that it was deep inside you all along, not in a relationship with anyone else.

Missing is good and you'll always have what you had, those positive memories and your love together are forever. Therapy is awesome, as often as is practical and affordable. Make tons of friends, know yourself, focus on being a better person and not being isolated. It has been a long time since i've lost someone but i have been there.
