So, my wife has been struggling a little with whether or not she wants to stay still. I don't blame her, it's a very difficult decision to make. I asked her yesterday if she'd be able to make the decision before we tried for another kid, which she said yes to.
She went off to work yesterday afternoon, and I was home with our son. I struggled to get him to bed before she got home, and all efforts were in vain as he was still awake when she got home at 10:15, not long before I had to leave for work.
I made my lunch quickly and rushed up to say goodbye to them. My wife was playing with my son (who was now wide awake because he'd seen Mommy). I walked over to them and kissed them both goodbye. And my wife said, "come on [my son], she has to go to work." I stopped in my tracks. It was the first time my wife had ever referred to me as female. I looked at her and knew I had a small smile forming. "Really," I asked. She smiled and nodded. Had I been on HRT, I probably would have broken down and cried right there. I almost cried, I was so happy. She was staying!!!
Today was even better. We went to the mall this morning, and I held the first door opened for her, saying "go ahead sweetie." She went in and opened the second door, and said "after you, wife." My heart was beating so fast, I was so happy. Despite me obviously being a man, she referred to me as her wife, and in front of a stranger who happened to be walking through the other doors. I was so touched. She even was telling my son that "Maddy" had to do this, or "go to Maddy."
I know you're going to read this hunny. Thank you so much! I love you so very, very much.
