I have been dating my girlfriend for 3 years now, and knew her a year before that. About a year ago she told me that she felt as though she might be transgender. I tried to be supportive told her I was willing to call her a different name and pronouns, whatever she needed. Well, about 5 months ago she declared she is a he. I again tried to be supportive but suddenly couldn''t bring myself not to refer to as "Jennifer" and she/her etc. Now I don''t know what to do.... I don''t want to give up but I''m a hetrosexual male and can''t see myself with another male. But I''m also really in love with this person, their personality, we click. I suggested an open relationship, but was told no. Any advice?

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
