Am I really the only one who ever had a meaningful relationship with a trans*woman?

[rockabilly]

Aww now i'm blushing

Hank i'm sure you are not alone, As i'm sure lots of guy can and have a meaningful relationship with a Tgirl, The trick is finding another person who wants a meaningful relationship. Some people just live for the moment. Before i met my boyfriend i was starting to think i'd be alone for life Jennifer

I've been lucky I guess I had a guy for 7 years (before he ruined it) and how I have a pretty swell guy and quite a few very good male friends (you know who you are).

On the other hand, I've been with some total cowards, violent guys, as well as manipulative jerks. My friends and I could tell some pretty damning stories of how hard it is to find a guy.

I often assume that the trade-off for feeling ok in my own body is that I am unlovable. That I am ultimately disposable because I was selfish enough to do what had to be done. I know it isn't logical, but I've given guys so many chances both as individuals and as a group.

Stuff is good with the fella and I, but I just wonder when it will become too difficult, or he meets a cuter gal (trans or cis), or decides he wants babies.

Sheesh, you're the classic "the glass is half empty" kind of gal, aren't you?

CHEER UP -- Things are going great right now.
The glass is half full! HALF FULL, I tell you!

You have friends who care about you for who you are (and you know who they are)...

You have guy who left for a bit, but DID realize he cares alot and DID come back...
He's STICKING BY YOU and working hard to make things work now...

You've got a job, so at a time when things are crappy for so many people across the nation, you are doing okay and staying afloat -- which in turn, worse comes to worse, still leaves you with options to purse down the road...

And you're a dweeby fan girl, which means you'll have eternal geek appeal.
Not to mention a never-ending batch of new comics to read.

HALF FULL! ... HALF FULL! ... THINK POSITIVE!

I have a t-girlfriend and I think she's just about the best person ever. Only been a little while since we got serious, so not really long-term, but I hope so.

If you've been let down by people (or even life in general) enough times, then you expect to be let down.

Some guys like a challenge, or grow into it

seriously.. cuter than you???

Not every guy wants kids

Sounds like you have been hurt and I know that sux - but not all guys are jerks

I think it's because there are two types of people who like trans women
there are the ones who love it as a dirty fantasy and would do a trans woman but that's about it, and then there's the type that would marry and settle down as well as obviously having sex with them.

I think you are leaving out a third type, My boyfriend is the third type which he falls in love with out knowing she's a Tgirl and when he finds out his love is so strong he doesn't care. True story when i met my boyfriend he had no idea i was a Tgirl we dated awhile before i told him after i told him he left and for about a week i didn't see or hear from him, But he came back saying he really likes me and still wants to see me. Going on three years now Jennifer

Yeah, I had one of those, almost, but we didn't hitch. He left for another. I didn't recognise the type til after he left. (my loss)
I hope the new gal treats him right. He was a keeper.
Actually, finding a guy isn't hard. Finding a "keeper" is hard.
And the grand prize,,,= a hard keeper.
