Hi there!
I am joining this forum in the hopes of better understanding the different aspects of what my wife is going through during her transition. She has been on here for a while, ever since she first started transitioning about 5 years ago. I am fully supportive and want her to be happy, but I also wanted to talk to other people who, like me, are married to or in a relationship with someone who is transitioning. I've always thought people who choose to transition are incredibly brave and my wife is no different.
My goal in joining this forum is to connect with other significant others of trans people, as well as other trans people. I sometimes feel like it's difficult to find others like me, who've chosen to stay in their marriages and sometimes it can feel a little lonely. From what she's told me, everyone on here is really nice and supportive and I hope to be able to contribute to the sense of community here.
Thanks in advance for your warm welcome :D

QuoteI've always thought people who choose to transition are incredibly brave and my wife is no different.
You have my heart, and undoubtedly your wife's.
QuoteFrom what she's told me, everyone on here is really nice and supportive
Yep: one of those rare sanctuaries on the web.
QuoteI sometimes feel like it's difficult to find others like me, who've chosen to stay in their marriages and sometimes it can feel a little lonely.
Goes both ways sometimes. I salute you for staying.

Hi Elhedril, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm up near Boston. We do enjoy couples here on the site! As a lifetime single, I want you to know I'll be there with foolhardy marriage advice anytime you ask. :laugh: Yup, just another service I offer! See you around the site!
Hugs, Devlyn
