It's situations like these why I'm glad younger generations are moving away from just fulfilling the expectations of getting married and having kids just because it's what's expected of them in life. Figure yourself out first before you go take those vows if that's even what you truly want to do.

[@ScreamingDucksShotMyMother]

There's nothing wrong with Lawren transitioning. You can disagree, but sorry science says you're full of it. There is something massively wrong with the way this family treats the wife. She deserves to be happy too. I have a feeling that pretransition wife was having to neglect her own needs, wants, and feelings for her then husband. Super common in most households, moms put on the back burner.

[@CM-le1yb]

That’s so sad for that lady , it’s like she’s been lied to the half of her life she spent with him . It’s selfish in a way ( don’t jump down my throat ) but think about it “ Karen” should of said something earlier to her , the wife probably had her heart set on being with the man she married all her life and now well she’s back to square one . I just think it’s not just his life he’s wasted keeping it to himself till now but it’s wrecked her life too and his kids . Any spouse or partner in this situation should be given support as well as the one making the transformation. I’m only making an observation, it’s an opinion and guess what I’m totally entitled to it if these people decide to publicly show this on TV and I respect if people have a different opinion to mines . Peace out ✌️
