... it was AMAZING!
I have been so sick with worry and fear for the last two weeks about this and I could fill about four pages about how the past 12 hours of my life has went but I won't do that. I'm pretty sure she'll join Susans so I'll leave most of the details to her if she wants some good material on her opening post. >:-)
Anyway, to summarize:
- The most wonderful woman I know now knows what has been plaguing me since childhood.
- She is curious and not at all angry or feeling betrayed.
- She isn't doing the typical "blaming herself" thing and seems to truly understand.
- She is extremely excited that she'll finally see her true spouse without all the mental anguish she's known since we've met.
- She is pretty confident she'll still be into me after everything is corrected with my body. Actually, she's kind of excited about it.
I barely slept last night with all of this going through my head but I can say it's the first night I didn't cry myself to sleep in days. I wanted to post something before I slept but I was still slightly afraid she would change her tune by the morning after things set it (wasn't sure if she was just in shock). I am a truly blessed person to have her in my life. I mean... I am soooo filled with gratitude right now.
I also owe a ton to you fine folks here at Susans. I have read soooo many stories about marriages living with this and it finally gave me some sort of hope that not everything will be a lost. If had not done this... I don't know how much longer I would have been here. There are only two ways to get rid of the body you don't belong in. Now I have the better option open to me.
Thank you.
Hopefully, you will all be hearing from this wonderful woman I am married to. I'll try to get her to join tomorrow.

That is so wonderful, I am really happy that it went so well for you! If I remember correctly, you expected your wife would be positive about it, in which case it sounds like you knew her pretty well. It is still scary, though, even when you are pretty sure that the reaction will be good. I hope we do get to meet her, she sounds like a wonderful person. Congratulations!

Awesome news . I am married to a wonderful women like yourself. After many years I finally came out to her last fall. She strongly suggested that I seek the help of a gender therapist, which I have done. We don't really know where this will end up, but my wonderful wife is standing beside me with love and support. She is approaching this with an open mind. That's really all we can ask for.
It truly is amazing to to have awesome wives like ours.
Good luck
Jessica

That is fantastic!! I'm always happy to hear success stories. :) Your wife sounds even more accepting/happier than mine was, and we're still blissfully together; may you be as fortunate.

Yay congrats! I feel this happiness as am in the same situation. We don't know where we will end up but are committed to each other and prepared to take it a step at a time.
Best wishes that your luck and happiness continues.
