[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my closest friends transitioned to a man four years ago. He is married, to a beautiful, smart, funny, successful woman and they have an adorable 8 year old kid. Recently he confided in me that he wants to get a divorce. In his mind, he's a totally different person now with new desires... for example, as a woman he was a lesbian who had never even kissed a man, and now is interested in exploring being with men as a gay man, among other things. I want to be supportive of course, but my gut feeling is that this is kind of a midlife crisis situation, possibly exacerbated by the hormones he's on, and he will come to regret this decision. I know his wife had a hard time when he decided to transition (she had also identified as a lesbian), but she stuck by him and loves him and will be blindsided by this. If it was a straight male friend of mine I would definitely try to make him see what he's giving up in favor of the excitement of being single again, but I don't want to dismiss or discount the unique challenges of being trans and having such a major life shift. Any advice welcome.[/quote]
