Hi all,
I thought of something to share regarding my recent relationship that I figured might lead to some interesting discussion. I'm still new here, so please let me know if there's a more appropriate forum for a topic like this. The thought I had was very brief:
I recently ended an LTR. There were many reasons I decided to walk away, and beginning transition was one of them. I was very prepared to marry this girl, but she was not open to my transitioning, though we never talked about it seriously. The topic always stayed within a "what if" context. Now that the breakup has wound down and things are starting to smooth out for both of us, I simply wonder how she would feel if she knew part of the reason I left was because I couldn't just live the rest of my life with this nagging feeling I wasn't living as I wished to? Does that make sense? Maybe telling her would've made things easier after it ended. Who knows. I didn't feel compelled to bring it up, because the other obstacles we faced as a couple were very important for me to stick to in communication. Perhaps it would've been better for me to mention how I felt, but, experience is a good teacher, I suppose.
Just thought I'd share that as food for thought. Wondering if anyone else has similar experiences they are open to sharing as well
.
Thanks!
