Well I Did It


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Well it has happened. I dressed for my SO. Last night (Sunday) at 5 pm. We talked about it first and covered a lot of ground. Right before I went in to change into Amber I asked her if she wanted to help and she said no. This made me very unsure but I wasn't going to turn back. I felt I couldnt. I thought this would show weakness on my part. I looked through my things. Picked out the new dress I had got last week. Stockings heels and light jewelery with my wig. I checked myself over and over in the mirror. I was pleased with the results. I stood in the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity. My heart was racing and I was shaking all over. I must of started down the hall way a half dozen times towards the living room and ended up stopping each time. I got so nervous I ended up getting sick. I knew she was waiting so I mustered all the courage I had after cleaning myself up. I finally stepped out so ahe could see me. There I stood and did I ever feel her eyes on me. I attempted to ask her what she thought and she told me to be quiet. I felt like I was going to be sick again. Finally she said ok she had seen enough. I turned ran back to bath room and got sick again. I cleaned up again got changed and went back into the living room and sat down by her. I was trembling wondering what was going through her mind. She saw me shaking and asked why I was and I just told her I needed to know what she thought. She just said if that was what I wanted she would not stop me. Nothing else was said. Well I had to leave early this morning and head to Saint Louis. No good by or anything. I'm back in the hotel room. I did speak with her on the phone but she said nothing about last night. She did say she loved me which eased my nerves some. Maybe it's too soon. I know it's a lot for her to take in so I'm praying things will be ok when I get back home in a few days. I knew this could go one of two ways but I feel like I'm stuck in between somewhere. But in the back of my mind I feel I done the right thing. There's no more hiding and the truth is out. Knowing these two things will pull me through no matter what. I will keep everybody posted on what's happening. Thanks to all who has given input. Hugs. Amber

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers Amber. Coming out to my wife was the hardest thing i had ever done. I remember the feelings so well.

Hope all will go well for you and you can continue to share the love you have had with your wife and still be honest.

Hugs,

Charlize

I feel you did the right thing, regardless of the outcome. I wish my spouse would at least give me the chance to show her who I am inside. We don't even hardly talk about it. It has become the proverbial " elephant in the room".

Although, she did go away for the night recently and before she left she said " are you going to dress in women's clothes while I'm gone?" I replied, probably. And that was the end of the conversation.

Of course, I did. Went downtown window shopping, but that's a whole other story.

Best of luck!

Hi Amber

I hope things turn out well :)

My experience was a little different as I started very stealthily but I have a strong suspicion that my partner and son inspected my wardrobe and knew a long time before I said anything. It takes time!

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      Neither up nor down, just being.

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
