Hi Heather, it's always nice to read your posts. 
Yes, the recalcitrant S.O. can be a formidable challenge to get to understand our TG natures. I can't say I have any advice to give you along that line. It may take many months of work on your part.
Concerning the subject of this thread, I'm considering joining a CD/TG support group in my locale as a logical next step to my late-life transitioning. I'm going to ask my wife to join, too. One thing I'm somewhat concerned about (fear is too strong a word in this case) is the possibility of us growing apart if I start engaging in a social life that excludes her. Not a good thing, I'm sure. The group welcomes S.O. participation and I'm hoping that there will be other wives of guys like me there that she will come to like. It would be nice to have some friends who you don't have to guard your little 'secret' from.
