sex is an important part of a relationship to some people.

If it were me I am not sure I would want to carry on the relationship because I think it would be like living with a stranger. Please note I say I am not sure. I can't say for sure because I've never been in that situation thankfully.

Re: More transitioning people

I think it would be up to the individual couple in that situation, whether one should be someone they don't want to be to keep a marriage or the other should let them go.

There are so many different scenarios it's difficult to say what you'd do.

exactly, thats what I said in my last post. Of course it's up to the individual couple, no two couples are the same and there is no right or wrong in this. It works for some, not for others and no one should be made to feel guilty if they choose to walk away. Well, that's how I look at it anyway.

Re: More transitioning people

In a funny sort of way, it might be easier to accept a man who was trans if I weren't emotionally involved with him.

But I am pretty sure if I had a hairy, hunky husband who I loved very much, then I came home unexpected to find him in satin knickers and using my perfume, I don't think I would cope very well at all.

I don't like secrets, especially over something of such life-changing importance.
All the years we had shared a bed, the children we made, the joys, happiness and problems we sorted, yet suddenly it would feel like I didn't know him at all.

I think it would be the deceipt that would do me, but with someone you weren't emotionally attached to there would not be the same feeling of bewilderment and deceipt.

Re: More transitioning people

I wonder, if some people would react differently if it were their son or daughter, than they would to their husband, wife or partner?
