One really important choice I have made for myself is to stay away from people whom are going to be negative in my present situation. I am much happier with MY own thoughts and no one can ever take that away from me... I own my positive feeling towards my partner 100%. In fact I LOOOOOOVEEEE her even more. I see how extremely brave she is, she is all mine 100% now. No more less than.. She is finding her true self and I am blissfully happy for her!!!! Of course, I am not going to lie, at times it can get hard to deal with, but we get threw those speed bumps.

That is great, stay on that road it only gets better.  I told my SO about 2 years ago and she has been a big help and the best, we have more fun together now than before

That is awesome to hear!!! I have been with my spouse for almost 9 years and have known of her secret for about 4 years, but I did not truly understand the true importance of her needing to follow her dreams and I will transition with her. I am trying to strengthen my spirituality because I feel I am not strong enough for what might come our way. We live in Las Vegas. Do you mind if I ask where you live? How long have you been with your spouse?

Hi, no I don't mind you asking, I live in Hawaii.  We have been married for 27 years and still going
It is hard if you don't understand certain things like the fact that there is a actual difference in the brain of a MTF and FTM, there have been studies that show amale to female has the brain of a female and visa versa, as my Dr. put it my female brain is starved of estrogen and that is what causes the dysphoria or the feeling that the body is saying something is wrong.
The other side of the coin of understanding is the people on the outside that do not know anything about what is what and what we go through, I think you have a good understanding and I think that your spiritualty is strong already.
Aloha.
