Hi,
This is my first post on this site. I've had quite a journey as I've always thought I was a cross-dresser for the better part of my life. I even went so far as to go to a CD/TG dating site to find friends or a significant other. I did find a local male to female tg who, in turn, was not seeking someone like myself, but a man. We chatted for 3-4 months and realized we had alot more in common than we first thought. We started our relationship in August 2011. Given that my friend preferred men, and also that she knew obviously that I cross-dressed, there had to be some ground-rules. She asked that I not dress in front of her, but only on my own time. Although I didn't really know how that would affect the relationship, I agreed. I believe this was the beginning of the end in reality as she felt guilty that she did put parameters on me. She eventually relaxed the stipulations and allowed me to dress on a limited basis around her short of makeup and wig. After some time together, she actually thought that I was more TG than CD. We actually got along tremendously given our age difference, me being 15-yrs older than she.
To make a long story short, we had a 20-month relationship ending in April of this year. She blindsided my stating she had a strong attraction to another male-to-female TG. I really didn't know of this person until a month previous, and only then, I thought they were friends for support.
Since that time, I've seeked-out a gender therapist and, after much discussion, she referred me to an endocrinologist who has prescribed me low-dose HRT. I've been on HRT now for nearly a month. In the meantime, I'm trying to resurrect a possible friendship with my ex-gf. She feels guilty for the way she handled the breakup and prefers that we both have some time apart before we consider a re-connection.
I'm not sure how you would respond to this post, but I believe I've brought up some interesting dynamics. I look forward to feedback.
Regards, Kara
