Hello everyone, I'm completely new here. My name is not PaulyD, but I figure it can be my new Alias here. My...*Boyfriend* introduced me to the site.
A little about myself, I'm 21 F, living at home with my parents and my boyfriend, who is in the process of transitioning(FTM). I am finally coming around to the idea that this is what he really needs to do, but its still not fully "ok" in my head ???. I have worries and hurdles to overcome with it, not to diminish or belittle the hurdles he has to overcome because I know his are much bigger..
I'm hoping to read other S.O stories and learn more about all this....Because it honestly just scares me. (Side note though, now that I have become somewhat comfortable with the idea of this, its weird when people call him her. Which just a couple weeks ago it was weird hearing someone call "her" him...I'm sorry this is confusing)
Background on me, I've been with my boyfriend just short of 2 years now, I'm a Junior in college, and I've never really known anything outside of school, and wont for a while because after Undergrad I wanna go into Law...
Okay pretty sure I've given myself away to him at this point, but I'm gonna stick with my Alias, because well...idk...
But uh...ya....I tend to write a lot and drag on a lot, so feel free to tell me when I do.
That's me
PaulyD...You can also call me LG

Great to meet you not PaulyD.
I'm pretty sure that after being on here for a bit and reading past and present posts, you'll understand loads and feel more confortable about dealing with things.
In a sec, a few admins are going to post something here. They are alwasy really helpful.

Hi PaulyD, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 4000 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another SO. :icon_hug:
And be sure to check out these links ( MUST READS )
Hugs and Love,
Janet

Welcome to Susan's, PaulyD (or LG :)).
There's a lot of good information and good people here. Each of our stories is unique but we have a lot in common. Settle in, pull up a keyboard, and explore.
Be sure to look under the Announcements heading. There you will find the rules we live by in this little world of ours: "Site Terms of Service and Rules to Live By", "Standard Terms and Definitions", and "Post Ranks". Look through the other stuff there, too.
I would guess you have found the Significant Other section by now.
This is confusing. I sometimes think it is harder on those around us - like you - than those who are going through it. I am transitioning to become whole. It is something I am doing for myself so that I can become myself. But I am also dragging along all my friends and family and acquaintances whether they like it or not. ;) I hope you find answers and support here - that's why we're here.
Happy exploring. :icon_wave:

not to be selfish....but i definitely see your point about it being harder on the S.O than the one transitioning
