Thank you all, for all the wonderful advice. Since my main objective here is to reclaim my own agency and autonomy, I am going to take some days to absorb and reflect, and then decide for myself. Neither A nor T are a physical threat in any way, plus all of us have other things (work and other...

Sorry, it wasn't directed at you. I have had several other instances of the age-gap being criticized, both in good times and bad, and I just wanted to put those points out for anyone reading this thread. (Your story sounds so heart-warming) The two kids playing with each other is not a huge...

Oh yes obviously. Also, I have always been and still consider myself monogamous, but I did not want her to feel constrained. I did not want her to seek other partners, but I had simply said that if she wanted to, she should let me know. She said no to my face, but somehow decided that I won't...

Before the big revelation, I was the one who gently, but hypothetically, suggested several times over the years, that if she ever wanted to 'try anything' with anyone, she should just let me know. Neither of us had specific vocabulary for it. I brought it up sometimes, but not all the time. She...

Thanks @Magdlyn for your message. I have been wondering about the same things. Just some additional points of information: I came out as trans at age 31, started transition at age 32, and finally, when I was 34, my then-spouse (now ex-spouse) and I agreed to separate because she just couldn't...

Hi, I am V. I posted an intro just now in Introductions. I'll first tell the story of me and A, which is crucial to understand my actions in the present context. When I met A online, I was a 36-year old trans woman with a 3-year old child, and A was 19.5 and still in college. I was really...
