Yesterday was this 39-year-old woman’s birthday. Her 41-year-old husband didn’t get her a gift, but he did decide to confess to her that he’s actually a woman.

She has been married to her husband for a decade, and he has never so much as shown her a subtle hint of this. She’s angry, confused, and shocked.

“We have 4 young children; the oldest is only 7,” she explained. “He told me so matter of factly. I just woke up.”

“I made a birthday breakfast for myself but also for the kids to celebrate with me. My mom took the children so I could have the day to myself.”

“When I was in the living room watching a movie, he came in, he turned the TV off and said (I’m doing my best to be exact): “I’ve recently discovered something about myself. I’m a woman. I’ve done a lot of research and I know in my heart who I am. And I love myself. This is the beginning of my journey. If you and the kids want out of my life because you can’t fully appreciate me, then that’s fine. I’ll proceed without you. For now, this is just [between] us. Don’t tell the family or your friends. I need to come out when I’m ready.”

After his little speech, he walked out of their house and left. He didn’t try to talk to her or allow her to ask any questions, let alone process such a major revelation.

She has no clue where her husband went, and she actually threw up after his confession. Now, she has always been interested in men and women, but she’s upset with her husband.

She’s basically only stayed with him so far because of their kids because he doesn’t excel as a dad or a husband.

He routinely forgets about special events and birthdays and is pretty self-centered. While they both work full-time, she’s left to do all of the chores around their house and parenting alone.

If their kids need to be watched, it’s on her; she can’t rely on her husband to pitch in. When she gave birth to their twins, it was awful, and she needed to be hospitalized for three entire weeks.

Her two older children were terrified that her husband would forget all about them while she was in the hospital, and they were right: her husband did just that.

Her husband forgot to pick their kids up from school. He forgot to make sure they had food. He forgot to give them baths.

There was no excuse for this, as their family helped her husband while she was hospitalized, and still, he couldn’t make sure their kids had their basic needs met.

Later on, last night, she had a birthday dinner at her mom and dad’s house, and her husband showed up for that.

“He was acting normal, or even a bit too excited,” she said. “I was doing my best not to overreact, but when he blew out my birthday candle and laughed, I gave him a glare, and he finally wiped the smile off his face.”

“My sister (who is my best friend) asked what was wrong. And I had to keep my mouth shut. I am just so angry.”

“I am angry that he had the nerve to say that he’s a woman. To have me go through all of this alone. Without talking to ANYONE! Should I tell people? Should I divorce? Should I support him?”
