Congratulations Frittam. I know that is a huge step forward and a big relief. Having honesty between you on such a profound/core subject is imperative.
I second ClaraKay's comment that it is a long term process. The initial statement of acceptance is not the last word. One aspect of it is that these changes may be somewhat progressive, with one change blossoming into another. Your wife may not be able to imagine how far this train may roll.
My wife was very accepting, and continues to be, yet at the same time has trouble accepting certain changes. For example, she does not like my chest being hairless and lets me know it. That would seem to be a relatively unimportant thing, perhaps, but I have a very hard time leaving the shrubbery in place. Who among us wants a thatch between two growing breasts, after all? It is hard to find a middle ground on some issues.
