And the results are in...
Thanks to Mandy-chan, I remembered I should probably do a little update as to how my weekend therapy session went. It was at turns completely useless and very relieving. It was nice to actually speak out some of my thoughts and feelings (Instead of just typing them out or thinking them) to someone other than my wife. It was also nice to realize that despite the fact that it was LDS family services, there was no real religion involved in everything. The therapist was very friendly, open, and understanding. And practically clueless about what to do.
Apparently there had been some confusion, and we were assigned a therapist that specialized in marriage problems, and had practically no experience with gender issues. She did have some good observations (Like pointing out why my wife was most likely feeling more angry lately), but she had no clue what to say about my feelings. So she is directing us towards a therapist that DOES have experience with gender issues. Problem is, the only time she has open is during my normal work hours. So I'm going to see what I can work out, as we have an appointment with her this Thursday.
Though I don't feel much closer to a resolution (Of course, how much progress can you expect to make in 50 minutes?) I do feel better having said some things. I'm more comfortable with whatever is going to happen, and less depressed than I have been lately.
