Um, so, if it’s not too much trouble may i ask in which occasion you told your wife about being trans, and how? I mean, you don’t have to, though it’s what terrifies me the most about being ingaged and advice would be sweet. Thanks either way <: /

Hey, sorry it’s taken me so long to get to this message.

At the time I met my Wife, I was somewhat “out” in that I had only recently begun T and was not passing 100% of the time. We also met in a “Queer” space – so I never came out to her. At least I don’t think I did.

This whole “pre-teen” thing is a total trip! I’m constantly reading, informing myself and trying to be a better parent.

Raising a human being is difficult.

My father in law was concerned enough about making sure Rachel is fucking me enough that he had my mother in law talk to her about it while we were outside.

Rachel’s male coworkers respond with “that’s interesting” (which really means “I don’t approve”) when she reveals I’ll be the one staying at home with the baby.

I would also like to add that it’s very difficult to find expecting/parenting books for dads that aren’t all about how to deal with not getting to touch your wife’s tits or get laid when you want. I’m so over this entitled and childish mentality. Some of us are grown ass men with more important things to prep for. I hate to say it but man the fuck up.

So over it.

Ugh, that’s an…interesting position to take on your in-law’s part.
You’re going to be an amazing Father.

Over the last few months I’ve been seriously doubting the sincerity of all of my friendships. I’m not sure why, but it really sucks. I hate feeling like people only come around to get something from me. I also hate feeling like making and keeping friends is something I suck at.

I hear you on this.
