Been with my partner over 16  years and we have kids. Two boys both adopted and she has been dealt with my transition amazingly.
Cheers,
Myles

Myles, I'm sure you've had some bumps in the road, but I think that you, your partner, and your kids are so fortunate. I'm glad your family unit hasn't broken up.

Definitely been a trek but not just because of trans stuff 16 is a lot of crap to put up with (hahaha).

I have known my boyfriend for one semester.  He is amazing, and we really click.  and, (of course) he respects me as his boyfriend.

Married 5 years.

I had been a serial monogamist from age 17 onwards, just jumped from girlfriend to girlfriend.  Longest lasted 1 1/2 years.  Still haven't clocked the two year point...I get bored.  Mostly because I was getting bored trying to be a lesbian.

My last girlfriend inadvertedly helped me figure myself out, due to a bit of roleplaying.  Good sex too. It was only a summer thing, but now she's been treating my transistion like idle gossip and I'm pissed.

Having a break from relationships til I am well into my transition.  I still need to figure out what my sexuality even is! I'm pretty sure I'm bi, but I don't wanna do anything with a guy unless I'm totally sure he sees me as male.

I see there are people in here who can't take questions 
I went to a great school so we did learn about sex ed but I fully block out the thought that FTMs would get pregnant when they're transitioning or when they claim they're an FTM. It is putting yourself and the child at risk but I don't THINK I mind if you do it before you start T, as long as you claim yourself to be a daddy after.


Nice to know some people are married and some wanting kids

(i forgot this part...)

I want to get married someday, once gay marriage is legal.  and I don't want a family.. I just want my SO.  I greatly dislike kids

yep, been together for nearly 2 years, she has been with me right from the start of my transition so I am very lucky. she's a staunch feminist and still identifies as a lesbian who happens to be with a guy and i really respect that. Both of us would rather concentrate on our careers  and travel than have kids but eventuallY i'd like to be a foster parent.

No, no and hell no.

Not looking for a relationship.

Don't want to marry, don't see myself as the marrying type. I really don't want anything that would be serious enough to involve a shared living space, or any restrictions to my life. I like my space, my money, and my crazy shifts .

I sure as hell don't want kids. I can't stand them.

Don't want a relationship at the moment.
Never wanna get married and definitely don't want kids!

I'm not in a relationship right now.

I want to be a husband one day...

And yeah - want bunch of kids. 

I have been single for the last six months, but before that I was in a relationship with an MtF.  It was a crazy stressful time, and I wish we had met later in life and transition, because I think It might have made things a little easier.

I would like to be in a relationship, but I know I have lots of things to work out in my life before I try again.  I don't think I would ever get married though. I see marriage as a political and religious mess, and want nothing to do with either.  Doesn't mean I woulnd't want to live with someone in a committed relationship though.

Kids though... maybe.  It would depend on the situation.  I could see my self adopting or fostering, or if a partner already had kids,  but there is no way kids are coming out of me.

I was in a relationship up until a little over a year ago. It lasted 2 years and I wanted to settle down with her. I've been trying the whole dating scene since then but it's tough. Hard to find somebody who is okay with me being a dude pre-T and doesn't fetishize my being trans.

I already have a family, and I am in a relationship with a woman.
It's only been a few months, and it's complicated because she doesn't seem to get the difference between trans and butch. A lot of people don't get it, actually.

Just ended a 18 year relationship. We had 2 kids now 18 & 15. Since we broke up she is now telling everyone she didn't know I was FtM all this time if you can believe it. Has ruined my reputation in the community and taken the only father 2 kids have ever known from them.

I will never have another long term relationship again.

it's not that people can't take questions, it's that you've shown yourself (through this and other posts) to not be mature enough to know the difference between asking a question and attacking someone.

when they claim they're an FTM.

this is a perfect example of what i meant.

so is this.

from what I've seen over last few months on this forum.. for many people this is the only place that they can truly be themselves without having to put up walls, repress themselves, or have to defend their feelings/actions. that's why there are rules, and why this site is moderated to enforce the rules. as you grow older and get more life experience you'll figure out how to state your opinion without belittling others in the process.

I just got out of a year long relationship. Its complicated still. I am beginning to realize i need to work on my own life before involving others. Marriage probably not. I do want a partner to live with and grow old with but i think marriage is over rated. Kids yes I want kids. My dream is to adopt a special needs child.

In a civil partnership at minute but will have to divorve her someday so i can re marry her.
