I am fortunate. I am a female and my wife is supportive. She is a t herself so I believe she understands and backs off as needed to help me so I can figure out my own journey. She urged me to start therapy for years and years and I finally did two years ago. It has been way harder than I thought and it has opened up some big wounds that we both didn't expect but in the end I hope I will be better for it and in return our relationship will grow. But therapy in general can be hard on relationships I think.
