So I’ve kinda touched on how I felt each post I’ve added. Mostly my guy’s feeling but just touched slightly to show how easy it is to understand and help someone going through this.
From the minute he told me, I never even considered us not being together. I never ever thought of not being able to cope with this. Yes, it could’ve been because we were only together 2 months before he told me what was going to be happening and as much as we knew each other previously, we lost touch.
In those 2 months though, I fell truly, madly & deeply in love with the soul!
To me it was ONLY a name change, a pronoun change and changing from ‘girlfriend’ to ‘boyfriend’. Now some people may think this is hard, some people may struggle with those changes but want to be supportive. I don’t know why I’m like this - I was never like this from what I can remember. I never ever thought I could be so strong for someone and it’s definitely brought the best out in me.
In saying this, I never used his name for a few months, just always called him ‘babe’ or ‘baby’ - maybe this was my way of subconsciously coping with the name being something different from what I had known.
With the physical changes - I was super excited. Constantly taking pictures and using them as comparison to him, even though there were no huge differences.
