Thank you Kristen. I appreciate your thoughts. I think I am going to suggest that my wife meet with my therapist who can give her some neutral ground. To date my wife has refused to see a therapist, even after losing our son.
I am going to ask her to do it just once for me and see if we move closer together with this.
We still hug, kiss and talk but about everything else but this.
Hi Emma 🙋♀️ I am in the same boat that
@Kirsteneklund7 and
@LizK is on.
I'm finally at the point where the elephant in the room is being addressed.
It was my wife that suggested gender therapy after knowing it was part of me for years.
Why it took a year to get her on board with therapy for herself is because she has always (37 years) been very poor at communication.
She gives me the support that shows she cares, and mine for her, but there was that elephant that I now is being led out of the room.
We are a very loving couple, and there is no thought of giving up, but she is one to keep emotions to herself.
I on the other hand, love to talk.
Therapy can be a wonderful tool, hopefully it will prove effective for you and your wife.
