Hello everyone I've been with my boyfriend (ftm) for almost a year now and we've had our ups and downs like any relationship but we're still standing strong. I met him as a guy and when i found out it was a little weird but I realized it didn't matter to me. I've dated a couple girls but nothing really serious had relations with friends but mostly just out of curiosity. It was high school. I've always considered myself straight pretty much. I guess I'm just worried about losing him when he does start to transition. I've read about how taking t can sometimes make guys want other guys or want completely straight girls. I've tried to talk about certain things with my boyfriend but its always uncomfortable for him he hates having to think about it. He hasn't even talked to a therapist and kinda shuts down when I mention anything so I've just kinda decided he'll do what he needs to when he's ready. I guess this may have been a pointless post but I'm still scared nonetheless. I love him he's been the most amazing man to me. I don't wanna lose that and I guess I'm worried I will. Any advice or words of anything would help. Thanks and I hope to get to know more people with time.
Love is a wonderful thing....You seem like a real gem of a person...nice to meet you...and good luck!

Sorry I have no input on the effects of T on a person. I can say that I can relate to your fears. My SO is MTF and has mentioned before having a slight curiosity about being with a male, although has never been with one as of yet. Sometimes I worry about that but then I tell myself we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I don't know what will happen if anything, so there's no use for me to stress about it at this point. We are deeply devoted to each other, and completely happy in our relationship. That's what's important.

Forget the stories.
We all change with time. If we are meant to be together, we change together. If not, we drift.
Human nature. Nothing else.
Relax.
