Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Things have been pretty crazy for me over the past couple of weeks.  It has pretty much culminated with my wife and I agreeing to split up.  We are still living together right now, but it is happening sometime before the end of the year.  I just had my third therapy session on Monday.  My therapist pretty much said that I'm mentally prepared for hormones.  I have a feeling that ill get the letter before the end of next month.  I feel like things are moving so fast right now!  I'm so heartbroken and excited at the same time.  I don't want to lose my relationship with my wife, but I cannot put off transitioning any longer.  I'm just kind of in a weird place right now.

Sounds like a hug is needed, so have a virtual one.  Hopefully when the dust settles you and your wife can still be friends, maybe even BFFs.

Thanks, justmeinoz.  Everyday so torturous for many reasons.  I wish I could just fast forward to 3 or 4 years from now so that all of this could just be bad memories.  My stomach is all twisted up in knots almost constantly these days.

Sorry about this split.  But, what's done is done, and please don't dwell on it too much.  Four weeks ago when I had the "big talk" with my wife she decided go day by day until she decides what to do.  I suspect we ultimately will seperate and not divorce, so I just take things the way they are, and work out where I want to live when we do split up.

Take care.

Oh.  And even with the troubles here's an early congratulations on the upcoming referral letter.  :)

Thanks for the reassuring words.  I know the toughest part is over, but there will still be some rough spots for sure.  I actually came out to my supervisor at work today.  With everything kind of falling in place for some actual physical changes to take place sooner than later, I figured I might as well get it over with.  She seemed taken aback but was supportive.  Coming out is just getting easier and easier.  What isn't getting easier is living as a guy.  I know patience is the name of the game, but I'm so ready to proceed.  I guess I'm getting restless due to the drastic choices made in the past couple of days.

I am sorry for your situation. It sounds very similiar to mine, so I have a good idea how you feel. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk.
