Man in civil partnership with another man after failed marriage to a woman now wants to transition. Woman characteristics: sitting on the loo, crossing legs, brunette hair 'just below my ears'.

Some advice from David 'Diana' Thomas given. At least Bel Mooney says 'I do worry that your longer letter reveals some truly simplistic stereotypical ideas of what constitutes ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ behaviour.'

Yes I think telling his 82 year old partner would definitely be advised especially as he points out their lack of sexual relations and his longing for ‘physical love’. It sounds like if he does transition he may be looking elsewhere.

If this person is going to transition, I would advise telling the partner.

That's all there is, my friend ...
