I have noticed over the last few weeks that my wonderful husband's
change is coming along well with the testosterone shot. I also noticed
that I have some preconceived notions on behavior of men.
Lately
I have been more anxious about Jello wanting to bail. I have always had
a bit of a self esteem problem, but it has escalated and I couldn't
tell you why until last week. It dawned on me that a very small part of
me isn't sure how to believe a guy wants to stick with their spouse like
a gal would.
I know that makes no sense, I
am a guy and I am devoted to my husband, with no doubts on how much I
love him. I for some reason never questioned that a woman could if she
decided be the same way and stay with a partner. Yet, there is some sort
of inbuilt idea that you can't trust that a guy will (except me of
course, which is another break in my logic that doesn't make sense).
Strangely enough, this goes for hetero relationships, I haven't ever
doubted that a homosexual relationship can be as devoted (yes, I
completely realize another break in my logic is that part of me still
hasn't fully changed my outlook that I am in a gay marriage now, I know
it and I tell everyone but evidently it is still percolating).
Of
course I suspect the majority of my actual stress is overworking. Long
days, with less than five hours of sleep a night is resulting in my
anxiety level being higher. Since the transition is one of the biggest
events currently in my life I suspect it becomes the focus of that
stress. So in the end what I am saying is nothing bad is happening, I
just have little outbreaks of anxiety. Things are going well, I just
wanted to whine a bit. :)
One other point, I
guess this is saying something good for the shift for Jello, the
process is slow but happening enough that it triggers weird things in
me.
