I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.
Has your partner change? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?
Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?
And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?
One of my childhood friends had a partner who discovered she was trans while they were in a long-term relationship. They tried to make it work but I think that only caused the whole situation to become messier.
Didn’t help that both of them were living with my friend’s mother and the partner who was transitioning refused to get a job.
Edit: Childhood friend is a woman; her ex is an MTF woman. Just to be clear on the circumstances.
