@amberwaves Dear Amber:
What? ... me freaking out because you are not updating your thread as much as I would like to see???
It is good to hear that the problems and issues that life is throwing at you during your HRT journey that you are able to get your head around it and deal with it... and you can still stay upbeat and positive as much as you can!!!
I am glad to hear that your wife is on the mend and is able to go back to work... you have been very thoughtful and doing what you have had to do while your wife was recovering from surgery... with taking care of household duties and taking care of your kid, etc. I am certain that she appreciates that of you.
Yes, I agree with you, and it was my experience also that during the 2nd year of HRT that a lot of big changes happened with a lot of good refinements in feminine body changes..... my 3rd year I completed back in March this year and the refinements kept coming during the 3rd year as well... and after that it can only get better!
So hang on Amber.... I am sure that .you will be pleased with your next year as well. Oh, and that is great news about your appointment coming up for your surgery consultation.... and more good news that you reported about getting near the end of your sometimes uncomfortable hair removal sessions.
In the end, all of this pain, discomfort, frustrations disappointments that all of us encounter in our own journeys will pass and you will be glad that you had the determination to stick with it, it will be worth it all when you can finally look back at it.
Wow-wee.... you have 2 male suitors... that is certainly a good feeling for them to flirt with you....BUT... well, I don't have to remind you that I think that you need to handle this carefully... we both know very well how men can be when they are in pursuit.... coming from you, .any kind of reply, any kind of comment.... anything at all, they will consider it a green light to continue their pursuit and if you are not careful it can turn into hurt feelings, anger, stalking, etc.
When I was on online dating sites, which I am no longer, I would get unsavory messages from guys and I would send a nice "no, not interested message" and that seemed to add fuel to their fire and they even considered that kind of reply a green light, and then I would start getting nasty messages like WHY don't I want to see them or WHY are you ignoring me.... and some of those unwanted messages got really nasty, insulting and felt very creepy and scary....
.... so again,
ignore and don't reply is the best move, especially for you I would think... you are married and have a family. If the suitors are in real life, and not just online that really increases the possible bad situations for you.
Please be safe and be very careful.... you don't want to do anything that would jeopardize your family situation.
YES, it is flattering, enjoy that moment but know when to cut it off.
All of that is just my unsolicited and probably unwanted opinion.... that is all it is. Advice is only worth what you paid for it... as the old saying goes.
Again Amber........ thank you for bringing me and the rest of your regular readers and followers up to date.
Hugs,
Danielle
