Single for a year now and I don't know if I'm content or disappointed that I might be alone for awhile/permanently.
I started transitioning while I was with my ex (together for 5 years, shocking given my track record). He was cool with it and life was fine. Eventually we fell out of tune and dating as a single trans woman is a whole different playing field from dating as a twink.
I've been ghosted, I've been strung along, I've been asked the inappropriate questions and called slurs. Calling them out does nothing, ignoring them feels worse, and I can't help but feel like a shrew when I point out their BS. It's exhausting so I don't want to deal with it anymore. However I still feel lonely and honestly I'm wondering if it ever goes away.
If the lonely feeling went away and I just figured my life out on my own, I'd have to wonder what I'm willing to give up after that hard work just to be with someone who only half attempts to get me.
Have any of you decided to be permanently single? Are you content with it?
