Came Out, Relationship Takes A Twist


Guest Misa

Recommended Posts

So a little while ago I was accidentally outed by my girlfriend whome was going through personal letters to myself on my pc. This seemed like a good thing, I was out allready to selected friends, but telling her seemed so hard, and it was all of a sudden made simple. But as time went on she seemed to think I was a masochist (excuse spelling im on a hiptop) and has been trying to make me into some sort of slave thinking I liked this sort of thing! I wouldn't have a bar of it, now she is leaving me because she says im lying about my gender issues. She doesn't get it, its not about that sort of stuff, im a normal girl on the inside. Hopefully oneday outside too. The whole ordeal brought me to tears for the first time in over 2 years, I hadn't been able to cry until last night, and it felt so good, finally, tears finally. Losing her makes things harder in short term, but easier in long term I feel.

Just needed to vent, needed to write it down. Ugh, I have the sads...xo

Misa,

I know that bittersweet feeling! You hate to lose her, but you know that you are better off.

I'll give you the at least you are better off because....talk! :lol:

At least you hadn't already been married, like I was, or even had children! You are so much better off losing her now with a lot less baggage to get rid of.

You already know all of that, so onto the good stuff!

You know you are a woman when crying feels so good! :D

I have been crying a lot lately, when I read a sad post a happy one, when someone tells me that they are happy that I wrote to them, a sad or happy TV show..... youget the idea! :lol:

Tears are very cleansing for the soul. (I'd better stop now, I'm getting into the deep end and I'm a lousy swimmer :D )

Curl up in this comfy chair, I'll get the Hot cocoa and some cookies - do you want the mini marshmellows?

Love ya,

Sally

I am so very sorry that your relationship didnt work out but, like Sally said, beglad that you were not married. If there is anything that we can do to help you through this rough time, we are only a few keystrokes away. Relationships may come and go but true friends are forever, you are among true friends.

Hugs,

Karen

I am so sorry you lost your girlfriend. You said she just didn't get it? I suppose there is no hope she'll come back? :(

Well, sweetheart - it makes my heart ache. It is SO HARD being like we are.

Bless you honey - may your next one be the one who hears and understands. <_<

i completely understand. my fiance broke up with me two weeks before i left for iraq. and i couldnt cry at all. no matter how much i wanted to. then three days later it finally came out. after that i realized that it was meant to be that way.

your meant to move forward, there will be someone else down the road who will accept you for who you are. and youll have a beautiful realationship.

but right now the universe is telling you to focus on you and what you need to do.

things always get better. to have the good you have to go through the bad first.

huggs.

kat.

I know the feeling all too well, the first person I told was my wife of 8 years and all hell broke loose. She needs her space and in many ways a good couselor. I cannot force her to see one and sshe has told me there is no way she will but then all the problems in that relationship were my fault as far as she was concerned. Not sure how things are going to work in the long run, but things will find a way to work out.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you for fixing my country of origin MaryEllen!     :) Mealaini

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.

      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.

      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.

      I did early on, out of necessity.  Regardless of how close you shave, beard shadow shows through.  I just used a bit of foundation, setting powder and blush.    I didn't use much eye makeup.  I started out with a bit of eye liner, but I thought it gave me a "trying too hard" look.  So I mostly didn't use any.   With covid and masking, I stopped using makeup altogether.  Why bother when no one can see your face and the mask smears the makeup anyway?   When restrictions were lifted, I didn't go back to wearing makeup.  My face feminized quite nicely over the first few years of HRT.  I'll never be pretty, but I look more female than male.  (Or I like to tell myself that anyway.)  With several years of electrolysis, and with what facial hair remains turning white, I don't have much beard shadow, so there is nothing to cover up.

      Do you use make-up? If so, why and what  types?

      Pride is primarily about yourself, even when it is not you who did something that you are proud about. You can also be proud of something someone else did, who you associate with, such as your children or your favorite football team. People can feel proud of their culture, their family name, or their appearance, none of which require them to actively contribute to the praiseworthy thing1. However, the opinions of others are of crucial importance, as best demonstrated when you purposefully do something that other people praise. Pride is a social emotion, and to feel proud, you need other people’s (real or imagined) confirmation that you have a reason to feel that way. Because of this, other people can also ‘be in your head’ and prevent you from feeling pride. Namely, what is praiseworthy is subjective. Things that may be considered good in a certain (cultural) group may not be praiseworthy in another (e.g., if you grew up in a family that greatly values academics, your athletic abilities may not evoke much praise). Moreover, what is praiseworthy is relative (e.g., if you are a good runner in an athletically average school, you may regularly feel proud about your times; but if you move to a school with highly competent athletes, these same times may seem unremarkable to you). Thus, the more exclusive your quality is in your surroundings, the prouder you feel. Pride has recognizable features. Although its static facial expression (typically a smile or laugh) does not clearly distinguish it from other positive emotions, it typically results in a bodily posture, gestures, and behavior that are clearly recognizable: lifting your chin, looking people in the eye, walking confidently, or in extreme cases, raising arms above your head. In a way, you try to make yourself larger and more noticeable, as if to say: ‘look at me!’ You may also exhibit more perseverance in your activities2. People generally find it very pleasant to experience pride, as it elevates our feeling of social self-worth and status3. At the same time, many social groups, religions, and cultures (especially those that are highly collectivistic, such as the East Asian or African culture) believe that pride needs to be checked. Unchecked pride leads to arrogance and misplaced feelings of superiority (‘letting something get to your head’, ‘hubris comes before the fall’), and social groups typically do not tolerate members feeling like they are superior or deserve special treatment.
