Belgian man discovers wife of 19 years was born male

Woman. I know that oldies (like me and soon to be you!) can get stuck in their ways in terms of habits etc. But not in all things. People tend to be less judgmental and more "live and let live"--well that has been my experience anyway.

I can pretty much say that was true about my grandmother in some things. But not my grandfather. And you did not want to get him started on Jimmy Carter because he thought Carter was going to make the old folks go back to work. To this day I'm still not sure how he got that idea in his head. But in hind sight, I think gramps going back to work would have been good for him.

I bet he threw up more than just a little.

My mother was like that about football. My father was a big Steelers fan and all of us kids, started going to games back when they played at old Pitt stadium!!!! My mother thought it was a terrible, violent sport and would have none of it. And the older she got, the less tolerant she got. When we visited her we had to sneak into my dad's old den to watch any games!

In other things, she became very "don't sweat the small stuff".

I am sure my kids think I have my own peculiarities!!!

I don't want to think of myself becoming old and set in my ways. I gotta go find a marijuana medical clinic. Maybe it has some medicinal value to prevent that from happening.

Your mother not wanting to be a Steeler fan just shows good judgment Maggie. It is the sign of discerning taste.

I guess he really wanted to believe him/her when it said "No honey, it's just a really big clit".....

[BlandFood]

Did he find his other half's old thingie preserved in a can of spotted dick?

[Kenect2]

He's obviously lying. He knew she was trans, but he's angry that she cheated on him so this is his revenge. Very cruel.

[Kenect2]

OK, we don't have the details of his marital history, but it sounds like this may have been his most successful marriage. Wow, dude, your best marriage was to a man who became a woman.

You're actually disparaging him for being married to a trans woman? Seriously? Aren't you also a GSM, baltimatt?

Imagine if the woman were a light skinned black passing for a white. Would you then say, "Wow, dude, your best marriage was to a black woman who acted white." - ?

Well, where have you been hiding?

No, I'm not a cell phone.

I'm disparaging him for being upset about being married to a trans woman, not for being married to one.

Why shouldn't he be upset about being married to a genetic man?

[yuca]

When I go home I'm going to ask if my wife is really a man. Throughout our marriage she has preferred to wear jeans over dresses.

Now, I'm starting to wonder....

Seems a little hard to believe that the husband had no suspicion or concerns years before this but obviously back then everything was good.

The problems with his wife's birth brought up by the Belgium government, who are normally pretty liberal when it comes to immigration, should have put up a red flag that he might want to know more about this person.

I think this has got more to do with a marriage gone bad for a number of different reasons, and the original gender of his wife is a convenient avenue for throwing his wife out on the street with nothing.

From the article:

While awaiting the decision of the courts to annul his marriage, Jan has been denied a request to have Monica forcibly removed from their home.
In the meantime, "We live in separate rooms and rarely speak," he said.

More of a altered defaced male.

Whatever you want to call it there is good reason for the straight man to be upset about it. Matts disparaging him for being upset reminds me of a gay man I once knew who couldn't understand and get it through his head that straight males did not want oral sex from other men.

Research is beginning to suggest there is a biological/genetic cause to transgenderism. Which doesn't excuse the wife not being truthful about it.

There are other forums on the internet. Some are even safe places for GSMs.

Gender and Sexuality Minority. A more encompassing version of LGBT or the gay community.

You disparaged him by belittling her, as if it were a bad thing to be married to a trans woman.

[Mom49of4]

If the article is true the problem seems to be that someone did some lying. Once trust is broken it is hard to get it back.

Not only does the science clearly show that transgender is a biological condition of the brain (as opposed to a psychological condition), it's also common sense. Therapy has absolutely zero effect on a person's gender identity, making it crystal clear that it is a physical condition.

Thanks for pointing that out, however, I'm not sure why you jumped to the conclusion that the woman was the one lying. I find it difficult to believe that the husband knew nothing about her condition for the 19 years they were married. It seems far more likely that he turned bitter due to her cheating and he is sacrificing her so that he can come out on top in a divorce.
