Re: Feeling lonely, sad, and confused

I remember seeing men getting manicures & pedicures in nail bars around 2012. I assumed they were gay, feeling bolder, and gave no further thought.

A year later my GIDXH asked me for money (he wasn’t working) to visit a nail bar for a manicure with clear polish. I said no. Then he asked for a salon hair dye job, expensive men’s clothing, expensive male soaps/colognes, fancy razors,etc. It was out of the blue and so fast.  This is when I began to feel repulsed by him. We separated 1.5 years later.

He never expressed interest in transitioning to female.  Gay men in my city groom themselves like this. 

I think once TGT genie is out of the bottle, it can’t be put back.  It’s like being a little bit pregnant. 

I am going to be non-PC: one has decide to pretty soon if you want a MOM or want a divorce. You save yourself so much trauma doing what is in your best interest.

This forum helps a lot for sure! I didn’t knew it existed until 2 years after my divorce and 1.5 years after my GIDXH passed away.

II am not sure what you mean by soon being a relative term. 

I know divorce is very expensive & the cost of living is high everywhere.
