Well hello there!

It has been one hell of a ride.

Well its bin a long time since I frighted with dysphoria, approximately year ago I had a breakdown and I was at a hospital for a month, had a big anxiety and depression, after the hospital every thing was ok for a while, but after a year I realized I am gay/bi and I was okey with that, at least the dysphoria was gone and I could manage a double life when Im married and at other time Im with guys. But of course, it didn't end up like that, of course the dysphoria came back and hit me again, but this time with depression and now I just don't know what to do, because Im getting married after less then 4 months and now Im thinking is it the best choice, knowing the situation....

A little bit resume...

Im happy living with my potential wife almost 7 years and this summer we are going to get married. we bought our selves an apartment. She already knows about my dysphoria and already said she wont be living with a another woman. But after I said I might be bi, she wasn't happy, but she said that at least that is better then transitioning.... like I have this bad feeling dragging her at this crazy road so long, that my hearth is just breaking, I really love her, I really do, but at every time I feel in my heart as a woman, who wants to live as a woman...

Of course I going to therapy, but still it dosen't help me and when I said, I want to transition, she just told me that it isn't for me and if I want to do it, i should see another therapist, who will approve everything in legal matters so I could do the transition.

And again there is the financial point of this all, like I have a desent salary, but much money goes to the bank for the apartment, and for the therapy, which dosent leave me a lot to do...

Feeling just Im going crazy, just sitting here and thinking what to do, what would be the best or the right choice to do...

Maybe someone could give me an advice or someone could share there similar story to mine and what happened at the ending...

Best Regards,

Lana

Hello Lana,

Please carefully rethink marriage. If you transition it sounds like your marriage will end in divorce.

Please be honest with your fiancé. Dysphoria gets worse with age.

You said you want to transition in your heart. Do not mislead your fiancé into marriage.

Over half of marriages end in divorce and they are almost all have nothing to do with one partner being trans. So do not continue knowing this marriage will not allow you to be you and you will be resentful of your wife and eventually need to come out.

You would be kinder to end the relationship now before marriage and children. Find a partner that will love you for who you are and not for being an imposter.

You both deserve to be happy and be who you are. Unfortunately this arrangement will not work out. I would see a couples councilor and put everything on the table. Hide nothing and be totally honest. Your fiancé deserves this.

I wish someone told me this 27 years ago.

I married 16 years ago to try and feel 'normal'. I knew I was different. Being married doesn't make it easier, and, if you do transition only makes it harder than it needs to be. Particularly if kids are involved. My suggestion is to think very very carefully. If she cannot accept the possibility of transition it would be wise to move on, and find a partner who is. I did not do this and I pay for it every day...
Every day is a totally awesome day
Every day provides opportunities and challenges
Every challenge leads to an opportunity
Every fear faced leads to one more strength
Every strength leads to greater success
Success leads to self esteem
Self Esteem leads to happiness.
Cherish every day.

Lana_, please be true and absolutely honest with yourself and your fiance. Hear what she is saying!! What's going on with you may not go away. They won't, if your issues are anything like mine. 

Our lifetime is finite, and years are precious.
Be brave.
I wish you the same happiness and acceptance that I wish for myself
