How do I talk to my wife after she came out?
So my wife came out as transgender a few months ago and honestly it’s been a lot to take in we’ve been together 12 years and have two kids and I love her but I don’t always know how to talk to her anymore like the other night she asked me to use her new name in front of the kids and I froze I just said the old one out of habit and she looked so hurt … I apologized but it’s like I keep messing up little things and I don’t wanna make her feel unseen but I’m also trying to process my own feelings which are all over the place my mom keeps saying it’s just a phase and my dad won’t even talk to me about it and honestly sometimes I wonder if I can do this long term because I didn’t sign up for this part but I don’t want to lose her either and with the divorce stuff starting to feel like a real possibility it’s making me panic a little idk if that makes me a bad person but it’s hard
