Title: It finally sunk in
Post by: MeTony on May 25, 2018, 01:37:51 PM
It finally sunk in to my husband's head that I am transgender. Feels like hanging on a thread now. I don't know what will happen now. He started saying my birth name instead of "mom" as he has always done until now. He started talking about moving out.

I guess my oldest son heared our conversation on the phone. He lies in bed and won't come up. My husband went to sleep when I got home from work.

He is pissed. He feels betrayed.

*sigh*

When did you tell him? Do you mind sharing more of your story if you are comfortable?

Asking because I'm going through the same thing with my partner. He was in denial for weeks, and then BAM, it just hit him, and now he's so angry.

It's so painful and difficult.

Understandably, everyone has to go through the stages of acceptance...

I told him in october last year. He took it well at that time. Now he has been thinking. He asked me straight forward today and I told him what I felt and why I did...could not tell him earlier.

I would hope for the best but prepare for the worst. My relationship did not survive it either, I now have a house mate not a partner.

I'm in the same boat. We may not have even that in a year or so, tension is high...
