I wouldn't be here today without my wife and life partner. She is the one person who has known me all along and was the one who pushed me to finally get counseling. I had asked her, not out loud, to keep my crossdressing and trans feelings private for far too long. In retrospect that was an unreasonable burden for her and a too comfy closet for me. And now I am a wife to my wife, an impossible dream come true.
A shared journey has much to recommend it with a depth and richness beyond measure.
