Hello arich62: Thanks for this post. And congratulations on having sorted out all of these thoughts! I'm in my mid 60's & married. But I have been "transsexual" my whole life. I just have always kept it suppressed. (It's a long story.) Anyway when I read your comment regarding having suppressed your feminine side while doing the things your wife enjoys, I couldn't help but sympathize. I frequently have the same experience.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm glad you were able to work through your grief regarding RW's death as well as those other things that have been bothering you. I hope you will be able to maintain this positive trend!

By the way, I'm always open to Personal Messages should you ever want to talk privately with regard to LGBT-related issues or concerns.
