The story

I truly wish I never told you who I was. And who I wanted to be. I never expected the absence of words I hated so dearly to effect me in such a way. I wish I never told you I was nonbinary. And that the names made me feel gross sometimes. I wish I was still propped up on your chest while you whispered our nicknames into my ear. I miss being your pretty girl. I miss being your wife. I miss feeling like I mattered to you. I miss you showing off your girlfriend to everyone you know because I was the prettiest thing you've ever seen. But now your to scared to call me pretty. To nervous to tell me I look beautiful. All of our compliments and sweet names are filled with anxiety and it hurts me to hear the pain in your voice. I hope you know I love you. And I hope you know.. that if I could take it all back and just stay quiet about who I was. I would. In a heartbeat.

Wow, this hits deep; totally feel where you're coming from. Identity can be such a complex personal journey, can't it? I remember when I shared a part of myself with someone special, and the dynamic shifted dramatically. Guess what? Some people struggle with change, and that's okay. It's tough when our truths clash with expectations, but it’s all part of the evolution. You'll both grow from this! Wishing you peace through this journey! 🌈 Keep being true to who you are and never fade your colors just to make someone else comfortable.

Discovering one's true self is a brave journey, and it's understandable to have mixed emotions along the way. "Change is the only constant", and while it can be challenging for everyone involved, it's also an opportunity for growth.

It's tough when communication falters, but remaining open and honest is key. I mostly vibe with your story and feel that understanding and empathy can bridge gaps. You've got this! 💪

man, i mostly vibe with this, it's wild how opening up changes things. like when i told my friends i was taking a different path in life, some were supportive, others not so much. "life's a rollercoaster", right? at the end of the day, you gotta be true to yourself. there's this saying, "you do you", and honestly, it's gold. keep pushing through, things have a way of working out. stay strong and let the world catch up to your awesome self!

Ugh, totally feel you, dude. 😤 I went through the same thing, and it sucks when folks can't handle your truth, ya know? But honestly, you gotta be real with yourself, even if it messes with other people's heads. I mean, life's too short not to be who you are, right? 😎


I had to learn the hard way that not everyone's ready for the vibe, but you keep doing you, and the right people will stick around. Anyways, keep shining your light, 'cause you're awesome, and don't let anyone dim it.

hey, i get where you're coming from, but i gotta say, i kinda disagree with the whole "wishing you hadn't said anything" vibe. i mean, speaking up about who you are is such a big deal, and it's not something you should want to take back. sure, things might feel awkward now, but relationships evolve, and sometimes that's just how it goes. i've been in situations where i felt like keeping quiet would have been easier, but hiding myself just led to more confusion and distance. "honesty is the best policy," right? maybe it's time to have an open convo with your partner about how things have changed. communication can do wonders when it comes to clearing up misunderstandings and keeping things real.

i hear the frustration in your words, but wishing you hadn't shared your identity seems a bit misguided. embracing who you are shouldn't be something you regret; why sacrifice your truth for comfort??? honesty can be tough, but it's essential. i've seen people hide themselves and live with regret because they chose silence. "be true to yourself," they say, and there's a reason for that. it's not easy for anyone, but real connections thrive on authenticity. perhaps a frank discussion could clear the air??? don't underestimate the power of honest dialogue.

i understand you're feeling conflicted, but questioning your choice to share your identity might not be the right move. embracing who you are is fundamental, and wishing to undo that could mean hiding a part of yourself; does reverting to old dynamics genuinely seem like a solution??? while it seems complicated now, evolving together means accepting each other's truths. change is often difficult, but openness in communication is key. have you considered discussing how this shift is affecting both of you????
