Hi And Thankyou, From A Tg-in-waiting's Spouse.

[Guest Buckle29]

Hey everyone,

I'm a 21 yr old woman married to a man, who is currently working out whether or not he wants to transition to a female. Because of this, I will continue to use "he" and "him" only because he hasn't decided fully, but the day he has I will of course use she and her....because in my head he will be about to become my beautiful wife.

I just wanted to say thank you. When my husband first started talking about this I did go into shock, but rather than scream or shout I took the route which made him believe I was 100% supportive. I hid how I really felt because I didn't want to lose him. But thankfully, this site has shown me that I won't be losing him......he will never leave me....what I will gain is possibly something better than I expected when I said 'till death do us part' - someone who is my best friend, who I love dearly and who loves me....regardless of what is shown on the outside.

I hope, and I do not doubt, that when my husband starts his process to become my wife the wonderful people here will help us both every step of the way.

Thank you so much.

Hi Buckle,

Welcome to Laura's. Laura's has a forum for significant others to share experiences with

I am glad that you are supportive of your husband. Support at this stage is extremely important.

Oh my, Buckle, I almost cried when I read that. That is the most beuatiful sentiment I've read here

in a long time. Your spouse is so incredibly lucky to have you as a life partner. You are a wonderful

woman, and I am so pleased you've joined us.

There is so much support for partners here. Please take advantage of both the Spouse and S.O. Forum

and the weekly chat support session. You will find all the answers and support you need.

Good luck to both of you. I wish you the best.

HUGS

Welcome Buckle,

I hope you find the information you need to help you; if not ask. The Girls above said it all much better then I could, but from experience I can tell you that an understanding and supportive spouse is the most grand help I could ask for. We are here for you both.

Welcome Buckle,

I always offer new members some hot cocoa and cookies to make them feel at home, I would like for you to take some for your husband.

I hope that none of my tears got on them, you have really said a lot in your introduction and I am so happy for your husband in having such a loving and supportive wife.

And now I will tell you something that almost every wife that has stayed around has discovered, when your husband transitions to become your beautiful wife she will become at peace with herself, the internal struggle will be over and she can be more open with her feelings and you will feel so much more of an emotional bond with her than you ever have had before.

Let yourself embrace the new emotions and you will feel more loved than you ever have.

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest Buckle29]

Thank you all for the kind welcomes.

And yes, cookies and cocoa sounds like a fantastic idea! England is being hit by storms and I refuse to leave my house so its perfect cocoa weather.

I'll hop on over to the spouse section now - just have a few questions....

I hid how I really felt because I didn't want to lose him. But thankfully, this site has shown me that I won't be losing him......he will never leave me....what I will gain is possibly something better than I expected when I said 'till death do us part' - someone who is my best friend, who I love dearly and who loves me....regardless of what is shown on the outside.

As rough as this sounds, it will help him if he knows how rough this is on you. When I began my transition my wife and I had one heck of a fight, she verbally hurled many things at me (all of which hurt me deeply). Even though she is supportive she has told me sveral times that she is having a rough time with it. It has taken her the better part of eight months to reach this level of acceptance and I appreciate it even more knowing how far she has come from that first day.
