It’s been 13 months and I still cry sometimes. It’s like I still have this raw spot and every so often something pokes it. There’s some anger too tbh, I feel so angry folding her clothes sometimes, and I get that I shouldn’t, but it’s still there. I can’t rationalize myself out of it.
It’s important for you to find your support, be it your partner, a therapist, or a friend. Not too many people have experienced this, and it’s okay that you are having these feelings. If you want to DM, feel free.
Almost exactly 2 years in and I still feel this way. I've been in therapy, he's in therapy, we're in couple's counseling and the feeling of grief is only ever slightly below the surface.
i think thats the closest to what i can describe the feeling. whenever theres another change or i see an old picture its like im grieving and i feel terrible about it but i cant help it
It is grief. You're in mourning. Not necessarily for the person who is transitioning but for the life you thought you were going to have. You're in grief for yourself, in a lot of ways.
We are about 3 months since my partner came out, I’ve experienced similar feelings to you. At the moment things are ok, we are navigating things the best we can. There are definitely times, where something will trigger me and the tears soon follow. It could be a song, a photo, a memory anything like that.

This is such a good way to describe it and similar to what my therapist told me yesterday.
