4 years later....

My TG ex-spouse is still living on her own, and I'm remarried. I looked up an old flame that I was dating at the same time as my ex, because I knew that his first wife was lesbian. I knew that he would understand what I was going through. I was right, and we've been hanging out ever since and 6 months ago tied the knot ourselves. It's amazing the differences in the marriage. I'm finding so many things that were missing in the first marriage that I wasn't even aware of. For example, this spouse puts my wishes first on his agenda (usually) where the tg spouse was so busy protecting his closet that s/he wasn't even aware of my needs let alone ready to meet them.

We still remain friends, but our life styles are so different now that we only touch base a couple of times a year. I wish her luck in her transition and new life.

Welcome to the Blog for Str8 spouses of Transgendered persons!

Say hello, and tell a little about your story. My spouse came out of the closet after 33 years of marriage. S/he is currently in the transitioning stage where s/he's living with another tg person, but not come out at work.

After a year of trying to work things out, we decided to separate, and eventually divorce. S/he wants to stay together and live as two women, but that's a deal breaker for me. Thus, I'm starting to move on with my life.

I'd love to hear from other TG str8t spouses if you are out there. Did you decide to stay together or separate? What stage are you and your spouse in of the transition?

Please share!
