[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who is in the process of transitioning, MTF. Her wife is supportive in concept, but has decided she can no longer maintain the relationship as a romantic pairing. In general, there is nothing wrong with that. However, there are plenty of ways you can screw that up. Because of finances and other issues, they are still living together and yet my friend's wife has started openly dating others. (My friend came out to her barely 6 months ago.) Don't do that.

My advice? Take things slowly and if you need to make the break, do it as cleanly and as mutually as possible. Your partner is going through a whole heck of a lot at the moment and if taking hormones, dealing with what is essentially puberty and a whole range of physical and emotional changes. As for the kid? There is plenty of time in the process to hold off communication with your partner's son on this for now. I'd have your partner speak with her therapist on the topic. (Which hopefully she has been and will continue to work with while moving through this process.)[/quote]
