I just found out from my wife that if I continue to explore my non-binary identity outside of the confines of our house, she’s going to end up leaving me. Talk about a lose-lose scenario, fuck me. I really don’t want to hear the “you’re better off without her if she can’t be accepting” line of thinking. I get where you’d be going with that, but there’s a lot more going on beyond this wherein I need her.
Well then you’ll have to talk with her.
Yeah, once the initial pain of her being supportive then suddenly not wears off.
Please ignore the commenter saying you should get a divorce. Nobody here knows anything about your relationship or your personal life, so we have no business telling you to make major life decisions. You may want to try talking to a therapist who specializes in gender identity issues, since only someone who takes the time to get to know you and understand your situation can really give you helpful advice.
I fully planned on ignoring that. I’ve been thinking about therapy, but no one near me accepts my insurance, so that option is out the window.
What exactly do you mean by explore my non-binary identity?
In short, figuring out exactly how I’m most comfortable and confident in presenting myself.
Does that mean a change of your general appearance in public, or going out and meeting/flirting with new people that align with your non binary self
Appearance and how I dress is the entirety of it.
