So a bit of background; I had a gender crisis a couple of years ago, and I've been trying to find myself ever since. I am married to a cis het woman, and my exploration of my gender identity has been putting a major strain in our marriage. I am currently identifying as nonbinary and genderqueer, but I am not sure that this is how I will end up. I have been very cautious with how I explore and express my gender identity to avoid upsetting my wife, but even so, there have been a lot of difficulties, and we both really think we need to talk with other couples that have been going through the same thing. We've been in couple's counseling for a while, but that can only do so much. We are both committed to this relationship, but at the same time, all of this has been hard for both of us.

Are there any support groups for couples like us? How can I find them? I am not sure there's much available where I live, but we are open to an online group if that is an option.

I've been trans for 7y. My relationships generally end early if the other person doesn't respect my gender choices whatever they may be at that time. Gender, like friendships, come and go as the times change. Unlike you I haven't gotten married so my advice isn't so relevant.
