also if you're staying with them BC they think you're a certain way and you might not be that way (even if you don't end up being trans!) that relationship usually isn't built on a foundation of mutual trust. Which tends to lead to either just bad relationships (in the sense of being unhealthy for both parties and more likely to be damaging or toxic) or breakups anyway. life is always better when you are capable of vulnerability.

my big tip is if you think you might be trans but a relationship is keeping you from transitioning it is always worth it to just break up with them/burn the bridge. i officially Realized i was trans in october 2021 but i was so obsessed with my partner at the time, who didnt want me to transition, and also scared of not actually being Trans Enough that i stayed with them until june 2022. the relationship wasnt even good by that last year or so i was just so scared of the unknown. i was so scared. but everything you want is on the other side of fear. my transition has been the most beautiful era of my life. ive become a happier person, someone im happier to be, warmer and kinder. being happy does wonders for your personality, and transition does wonders for your mood. its all hand in hand. it can happen to you. just break up with them. heart
