    So I know, it's a tiny step and such. But honestly I've never told really anyone about how I am feeling or anything. I know I should have gone and told my wife first, but I'm still apprehensive and wanting advice on how to go about that whole thing.

    Long story short though, I asked her a few things about me that she thought of me and she said she didn't notice too much, but always my Mum and Dad asking me if I'm gay, not to be degrading or anything, but just asking in general.

    Well I told her I don't feel as if I should be who I am, that me being Ryan. That me being a man doesn't feel right, and hasn't for a long time. I told her that I wanted to change things and be myself and not conformed into what I was born into.

    I was totally happy and estatic that she said "It's okay, I love you, and I want you to be happy with whoever you are." She said she still wants to talk some more and I said I'm completely down for that. I did make her really promise not to say anything to anyone as I need to do this in a person to person way right now.

    But she was supportive. I have my sister who supports me for me!!!!

    *gush*

    Now to try and keep thinking this out and figure out how to talk to my wife about the whole thing. I don't think I'm ready for that yet, but the more I talk to people on here and about the more it seems like a reality than just something that could never be.

    Lots of love!
    Zen

    That's awesome, dude...
    Baby steps are good...

    I'd advice you to go to therapy. It might help you figure out some stuff...

    You're doing it right.
    Congrats. XD
