So I came out to my wife a few weeks ago about my feelings that I have always wanted to be a woman she was supportive but shocked and afftaod at the time.. Bit last night she actually said that she would prefer I transition rather than stay a man.. She said that she wants me to be happy and that she wants a wife and know that she knows how I feel that she can no longer really view me as a man.. It gave me s lot more courage to maybe do it.. Do we are going to start taking the steps in that direction the only thing holding me back still is the fear of coming out to my parents and the impact it will have on my kids and employment.. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to do hrt even if I don't fully socially transition.. But first I need to see a therapist and lose some more weight.. I'm really excited and scared at the same time.. Just thought I would share the good news about how amazing my wife is
That really is wonderful and loving of her to offer that support. I think you may have received more response to this one level up in the forum.
Congrats on your journey
If only my wife could be that encouraging.

Look, she did the hardest thing possible for a wife. Now, you owe her to be brave and go for your happiness without any regard for social dogmas. Grow some balls, be a girl :)
Don't forget about her happiness in the process, don't buy more skirts and dresses for yourself, then she can buy for her
Whatever you do, do it as a partnership. She sounds willing. I am a big fan of not letting fear control your life. I hope you will reach for what makes you happy.
