I'm His First - Relationship Fears


MilaniKisses

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I'm recently engaged to a guy who fell in love with me a few years before we ever met.  He was always hesitant about approaching me or meeting in person as he has always been into cis-gender females.  Anyways fast forwarding to today, we hit a 6 month milestone on being together.  We also have recently been engaged. :)

 

Ok, here are my concerns...

Recently, he had mentioned some things during intimate times which leads me to believe he is missing the equipment of a cis-female.  I obviously can not give him what he desires, so I have thought about exploring an open relationship. However, I am having a hard time trying to open  up to the idea of sharing my fiance with others.

 

Has anyone else been in a similar situation of wanting to please/fill a void for your partner but can't?  If you did, how?  Did you allow him/her to see members of the opposite sex?  

 

Just not sure what to do...  I know it sounds silly to worry about such a thing, but Im fearful that my fiance might cheat or leave me for what he is temporarily desiring...

 

Thanks,

Milani

Hi Milani, I am not at your stage of transition and am not currently in a relationship. But I hope a man who has asked you to marry him loves you and wants you to be happy. You are very beautiful and I am sure any man would want to be with you. You don't mention if you will have GRS surgery in the future which may alleviate all concerns. And of course communication is best you should bring up your concerns up to him and you can see what he thinks now and you can plan out what you 2 do in the future.

Hello Milani, 

I don't recall from your prior posts whether GRS is in your future, but as April suggests it may alleviate your worries.

Being in a serious relationship means we have these kinds of open discussions about our feelings and desires.  As to an open relationship, it appears to me to be something only a strong bond between you both would survive.  It would seem to open Pandora's Box.

Open communication is important--that he is talking to you about this is good. If you are not inclined to wanting to be in an open relationship, it's a bad idea to go there to try to "fix" any problems between you and your fiance. If he is committed to marrying you, and since you plan on getting GRS, then that can be a goal you can both work toward.

I would say going into an open relationship is not easy. Both sides have to be willing to not get jealous of their partner spending time with someone else. That is how it works with Jamie and I are  I no longer have a piece of equipment she desires, and since the surgery we have slowly been exploring things (I am probably the limiting factor, with me being cautious).  But it is fine, since we are both pan and care deeply for each other.

 

That being said, if you would get jealous of him in an open relationship that is just not going to work. And how would he react to you being with some one else is another question.

      All these beautiful people in my biography, I feel so blessed!   No fallout from the Facebook avatar thing, yet. I instantly deleted it, but I really do like the avatar I created. I'll have to recreate it when I'm more out to friends and family.   I guess they weren't dancing, one was blowing a birthday horn and mine was "like, omg, so surprised!"

      This is what I'm seeing too. I hate it but it is the current reality.  I expect more trouble in the future since "they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes." Kinda funny how quickly things turned against us.  I don't think we can really count on the Democrats either.

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow
