My partner wants to transition and I feel like I lost the love of my life.

We have been together for nearly seven years, since our schooling days. I love her with all my heart and want to support her in any way I can, but she told me how they feel towards me is now platonic and it really hurts that I can’t be supportive because I know I’m going to lose the person I fell in love with.
It really sucks to mourn the loss of a person who is still alive. This is the end of our relationship and I’m holding her hand while we walk through it together.
Deep inside, I know this will make her so much happier. I hope I can find peace knowing that she is slowly finding herself.
I was gonna propose this year.

- Man that’s rough, hope you find silver lining at the end of this.
- Sorry dude, that’s rough. Sounds like you’re handling this as best as one possibly could. The pain will ease with time, but in the meanwhile hang in there!
- IMO, This person put themselves first and you should too. If it hurts you to walk them through this process then let them figure out someone else to hold their hand through it. It’s not cool to be the only one in agony while you’re propping your partner up. I’m glad they found their happiness, but you should go and do that too
