Welcome, Noeleena.
I'm always glad to see a member of the over 50 set joining in here at Susan's. I'm also glad to see when marriages survive. Mine didn't. But that was meant to be, or I wouldn't have a wonderful husband now.
Hope to see you on chat.

Hi Noeleena,
Welcome to Susan's.
Hmmmmmm, I almost feel like I am getting inebriated on your enthusiasm and happiness in having achieved in being your true self. I am 62 and four years post op. So now I just feel like normal, the person that was always within, is also living on the outside. All I have done is altered the outer physical to match the inner self. In reality we are transitioning from female to female.
I have a soul mate as well and I believe that anyone who gets through all this with a partner, whether it is the one they already had before starting this journey, or a new partner, they are so very fortunate. They are deserving of one another, especially after having gone through all the tribulations of transitioning and their love remaining just as strong for one another as it was in the beginning.

Hi Noeleena!

I'm so glad you and your partner managed to stay together. I'm really happy for you.
I cant wait for the day when I feel normal too :)
Big hugs
