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.
Everything seems impossible until you do it. Don’t sell yourself short, or you’ll always be dependent on someone – instead of just wanting to be around someone. You may want to look into attachment styles. Good luck.
Yeah, that’s one of those things that I know in my head, but can’t really internalize.
