Everyone is looking great, jealous or what!

I had several REALLY good days!  Despite not having internet.

First, I got to see my new girlfriend.  She accepts that my soon to be ex-wife will always be part of my family.  My ex-wife wants me to be with my new girlfriend.  She even worked the finances so that I could take my girlfriend out this weekend.  We had a wonderful time!

I had sex for the first time since beginning to transition.  OMG!!!!!!!!!!  I don't know how it's supposed to feel, but I've felt it the entire day, since.

Then, this morning I wake up to breakfast in bed and a rose.  The rose is beautiful, it is a blend of pink, red, and purple.  I'll get a picture of it in the morning.

Is it weird that my ex-wife is giving me dating advice for my new girlfriend?

The bummer part, is that I had to come home so I could go to my psychologist appointment tomorrow, file divorce papers, and apply for a job at a place nearby that has an opening.

I feel all warm and squishy inside.  Both my ex and my girlfriend are the best!

Artesia, thanks for your story.  It's the one bright spot on my day today.

Artesia, just reading that makes me happy. To have an ex that still wants you to be happy must be an amazing thing.

[Artesia]

I like it.  It still feels weird though.  My ex wants to meet my girlfriend, and vice versa.  Going to be even weirder then.  At least they have similar likes, and personality traits.  My girlfriend has the benefit of having more personality traits in common with me than with her.

My wife met Ellie for the first time last night. Went better than I was hoping and I actually think there's a good chance she'll be there when I transition

I went to my favorite Soul Food restaurant (had not been in a year) The owner new my partner and I fairly well. Greeted her by name, could not place me but did ask if I had an older brother who he had not seen in a long time. I told him, no he is younger and lives in Texas. He was the dude that would come with your friend, him he's your brother, right? I was no, not my brother just a role I played. He gave me a WTF look and then a hug. He was you look AMAZING. I had to choke back tears of happiness. Oh the reason for the dinner was even better my GCS was n=moved up 5 hours less sleep to lose on the evening of 1/4/18

I love reading this thread to start my day.  So many happy stories!

Mine is that my electrologist has declared my upper and lower lips cleared (for now).  We might have to come back to them in time, but not with the heavy-duty flame-thrower.

What made me happy today was that was hanging with my roommates and as we where getting out of the ttuck one said "after you my lady". Made my day. Getting happy when people purposely misgender me is weird I use to get so violent. So far in the closet Im in Narnia.

For my happy today, I'm going with a Black Friday self splurge - a good corset.

As a general medieval history guy, and someone that loves a Renaissance Festival, I *adore* corsetry. It's always been one of those mental images that I've associated with the female form, and something I've desperately wanted to have - that figure that only a good corset can give you.

I used to hope that I could buy one and just squish myself into the right shape but it never worked out - corsets are built to give a woman's body more shape, not to squeeze a beer belly into an hourglass. But for the past year or so I've worked hard to lose weight, gone down from a men's 40 pant to a 34, and finally treated myself to a good quality corset.

Getting a corset on is always tricky, but once it was on and I had everything tightened - Er. Mah. Gerd. [emoji7]

Sure, breathing and bending are harder to do, but who needs that anyway? [emoji28]

This happened a couple evenings ago but thinking about it today is still making me happy.

Those that have read previous postings by me know, my wife and I are now in the habit of making small talk in bed before sleep. Whatever pops into our heads, we spit out and discuss it.

Sunday night, I think, I brought up how much harder some of you have/had it with dealing with the different issues and life circumstances in general. Specifically Gender Dysphoria and severity. She gets up on one elbow, looks me in the eye and says, "If it ever gets that bad for you, tell me. We'll find a way to take care of it. I'd rather have you be 100% a girl than to have you go through that.".

Have I mentioned how much I love my wife? Not today, and never enough

Changed my name and gender on works intranet and got a letter from them TO Miss Davina B----------.

Today I've been out round the city centre clothes shopping with my wife. First time she's been out with me after meeting Ellie the other day. Found a really pretty outfit and she wanted to hold hands whilst we were walking around. Got a few stares as normal but overall a really good day
