Came out to my wife, didn't go so well

Told my wife over the weekend I was trans.

Actually tried to soften it and said I was discussing gender identity and exploring if I was trans with my therapist.

After a big discussion where she started with "if you are trans, we're done" and ended with "I hope you don't transition, you'd make an ugly woman" and a lot of questions about whether my therapist made me trans, she moved out today while I was at work.

She text me this evening to say she's going to take at least a month in her parents house as it's too difficult to be in the same house.

I don't think I'm looking for advice, I'm just a bit sad and lost.

I knew it wasn't going to go well, and I've been building up to this for nearly a year, but it's still very tough to go through. :(
