Hi Charlotte:

We are very happy that it all went so well for you both. We talked about you on several occasions today, silently hoping and praying everything would go well.

Please don't say goodbye. Come back and see us from time to time as you move along. There may be others who could use help from you and your wife. Not all who post here have had positive conclusions as you and your wife and Mrs. Missy and I have. We might even benefit from some of your experiences as you move forward.

Of course, if you choose not to come back, we wish you well.

Love,

Missy and Mrs. Missy

P.S. You expressed concerns about privacy. We feel like this is a forum that respects privacy and we are comfortable with that.

Hi again. Couldn't stay away. Am I hooked? Anyway I thought I should add this.

When we were cuddling in bed last night I said. "You know Babe, if I do get the surgery the end result will be two old broads living in a lesbian relationship". She laughed and said " As long as we have each other, I can live with that".

So things are going well. This is a new chapter in our lives and we both agree it's best to look at it as an adventure and have fun with it, no matter what happens.

I feel like ten tons of guilt and shame has been lifted off my back. I knew what must be done but I needed that extra push and encouragement to act. Thanks again Missy and the others.

When I think of how my pride, stupidity and ignorance came so close to ruining the lives of two good people I shudder. My only excuse is that when you are born in 1939 and raised in the 1940's and 1950's your attitude towards the "condition" is somewhat different than prevailing attitudes. Also I must be the luckiest guy in the world to have the lady in my life that I do. The girl must have spent countless hours researching the "condition" and somehow instinctively knew that she had to wait for me to open up to her even if it took years and years.
Now she says it's like I've been born again and she has the old me back. This morning we were fooling around with some makeup and laughing like a couple of kids. I asked her how she liked the new "woman" in her life. She said she thinks she is falling in love. I just said "Don't let your husband find out because he is a jealous SOB".

Hi Charlotte,

Welcome home! Even though we knew you for only a short time, we would have missed you. This is a great place to share experiences with like-minded people. That's not something you can do just anywhere.

I hope you have better luck with eye makeup than I do! I just can't seem to get a handle on it.

Missy and Mrs. Missy
