I, 42M have been married to my husband 41M for 16 years. I have known I was bisexual since my early twenties. I met my husband pre-transition and he has always liked men only. We went into the marriage as husband and wife but deep down I think we both knew he was trans. 8 years ago, when it became more widely accepted to be transgender, he came out. Obviously, as a bisexual man, the transition had no effect on our relationship or my feelings for him. I've supported him every step of the way. I was, and still am, in love with him. His immediate family wasn't supportive, although over the last few years his parents have re-entered his life and begun rekindling their relationship with him.
We are financially stable. We have a paid off house, a car each, and no kids, so all our income is either spent on living comfortably or saved up. He has been on T for years and had his top surgery 3 years ago.
In 2021, my mother passed after a long battle with lung cancer. I inherited a large sum of money from her as she had no siblings, was divorced and only had 2 children. It was easily enough money for my husband's bottom surgery and I was more than happy to give him the money. He had his surgery 2 months ago.
Last week, my husband told me he wants a divorce. He said that he is grateful for the love and support I've given him all these years and that I'll always have a special place in his heart. But now he has fully transitioned, he wants to be able to go and date and have "the full gay man experience". I can't help but feel like it's my fault. I poured my heart and soul into a marriage that I thought would last forever and it's been taken from me through an act of my own kindness
