Why am I Here?

I'm creating this blog for a few reasons. First, I really wanted to help other people stuck in a state of confusion. When I was first dealing with the fact that Beth is transgendered I was swallowed by a lot of conflicting emotions. I didn't know how to sort my thoughts and make decisions. At the time I did not find a great deal of people I could relate to in our situation. Most of the couples I learned about were older, considered themselves lesbian, or chose not to stay together. I felt like I was the only one in the world in our particular situation. I think it would have helped me a lot if I knew there was someone else like me. Secondly, this will be a good place for me to express myself. Thirdly, I wanted to offer a different perspective on loving someone who is transgendered. Reading Beth's blog and advice column convinced me that I might have a certain insight that the the person going through the change might not see inside the loving relationship. This has been an issue in our lives and in the lives of those around us for almost eight years. To my surprise, Beth is not the only one who has changed. I have transformed into a different person too.
