Would you stay with your wife/husband if they chose to get a sex change?

No, that's a dealbreaker!

Well, I'm one of those girls who tend to put others first and I like making everyone happy even though it usually screws me in the end. Lol But, this is something I could not do. I just couldn't give up myself and everything that would come with it for that. I would end up losing myself and not taking time to think about my own needs so I would have to end it & try and find my own happiness. Not sure if that makes sense, but I just don't think I could do it without my own life and needs being put back and I do that enough for family.

Being the Mistress of a transgendered girl. (MtF) I would never leave her. I love her dearly. I have been through everything with her and would never move away from our marriage. I have been there and done that and I am very happy.

If Sigel decided that he was really not comfortable being a man then I would still love and look forward to getting to know the person Sigel was becoming. If he (she?) wanted me to remain with him (her) then I probably would...we have an open relationship and another partner who is male so I wouldn't be missing anything sexually speaking, and I wouldn't want to miss out on what my life partner was going through.

Having said that I have two partners who revel in being male...but if they were seriously unhappy then I would like to think that I would support them and love them no matter what their gender.

This. There is a simplistic beauty to being bi/pansexual. It is all about your attraction to the person, not their genitalia.

same here. He'd never do it, but if he did then obviously Im not the right one for him and Id let him go be with who he wanted. He would never tho.

If my SO wanted to become a woman (or intersex, or trans-without-the-bott om-surgery or whatever) then I would stick with him the whole way, provided he still wanted to be with me.

I'm attracted to him for all of the inside stuff, and although I am hella attracted to his outsides, they're not the most important thing in our relationship.

I have stayed with my spouse during her change. When I married her I had no idea what I would be in for, but I won't leave her. I love her. It's hard sometimes with all the ignorance in the world, but I married this wonderful being and even if things are different, she's still the person I fell in love with (even if she isn't "him").

I would stay with them no matter what. I feel that you should love the person inside, not just their outer appearance ex: looks,size,gender.

There are too many variables involved in relationships for me to be able to give a solid yes or no. However that being said the relationship is would be more likely to end.

I'm bi and my boyfriend is a bit androgenous as it is. I think I'd be fine with it and still find him hot.

It would depend on what they wanted and if I could still provide that. It would take counseling for both of us separate and together. I think I'd be willing to try but it wouldn't be easy.

I'd like to say yes, but I really couldn't say until it came right down to it. I'm not attracted to women at all, but we've spent so much time together and built up a lot of comfort and trust so it would be a hard decision.

Hmmm... I love my boyfriend and would be supportive of a sex change, if that is how he really truely felt. Im not sure if I could stay in a relationship with him though cuz I really like the sex we have now. I do enjoy and appreciate women's bodies but sex with him wouldnt be the same.

Most certainly.
If my husband decided to become a frog, I would stay with him. Although, in that case, our sexual relationship would cease to exist. But I'd still love him the same.

Iam a person that will love my partner no matter what!!
if my boyfriend came to me and said, i'm unhappy with who iam, with my sex.
I would be by his side during his change. I would NEVER turn my back on him. even if he wanted to be with men when he had the change, it would hurt for my partner to leave but i WILL ALWAY love him/her and i'll just become his bestfriend.

I would stand by my fiancee's side if she wanted to have a sex change. (Assuming she still wanted to be with me.)

I don't think I could. I'm pretty straight- much, much more attracted to male-bodied persons than female. I think it would be really tough for me to stay and continue being sexually attracted even though I do love him very much.

I think if the person suddenly decided it at random, I'd have an issue because to me, that means they're having some serious identity problems. I'd be worried for them. But if it was something they felt for a long time and the person they were (not talking about appearance, but who they are) didn't change, I'd be fine with it.

Wow. I'm a little surprised by the number of people who wouldn't stay with their partner. As for the "sexual attraction" for reason, would you also leave your partner for losing a limb, going bald or getting old?

Are there other factors I don't understand? Family pressures? Religion? Confusion about own sexual identity?

I would stay almost definitely, yes. The only thing that would bother me would be my partner's decision to do this after being very happy with masculinity. I would wonder what happened if this was a sudden decision and might not feel like I knew him anymore.

But I like womens' bodies somewhat too, so I wouldn't be disgusted or anything by the physical change. But I'd be somewhat sad if he lost um, certain parts. I just can't get the same happy feeling from anything else. I think I'd be even more happy if he chose to keep it while assuming otherwise feminine traits. He's already a fairly pretty man, so I don't think he'd look extremely different after things were where he wanted them to be. But he'd probably resemble me even more, so that might be weird...

But as long as he was the person I loved, I think I could handle fairly dramatic changes.

My partner and I have experimented with a LOT of gender play and he has for periods of time (weeks, months) felt comfortable almost exclusively during sex play (while role playing as a female). At one point we had many discussions about if he wanted this to be permanent and full time, although he ultimately decided that he is for now comfortable with living as a male. For myself, it was a little startling to consider this possibility, but ultimately I realized it did not change anything fundamentally about my sexuality (I'm queer and into all genders) or how I felt toward him.

If this were something my partner ever reconsidered at another point in his life, I like to think we would come through the transition strong. Of course, this is easier said than done and yes I have seen that transitioning leaves many people in a much, much different place in their lives than when they started. If after his (theoretical) transition he wanted to pursue other avenues romantically that would be another story, but I love him and I like to think I'd be able to let him go peacefully. But speaking just for myself? I think I would stay. I have seen family members undergo transition and stay married throughout the process and long after.

I would stay with my husband. We've been married for 25 years. That would be no reason to leave him in my opinion.

It would be an incredibly unsuccessful transformation though. He's 6'3" with big bones and huge hands. No way would his giant hands pass as a woman's. So he would need my support all the more.

Although I do think women are beautiful and sexy, I'm truly attracted to masculinity. I wouldn't stop loving them, but I wouldn't be able to continue the same relationship. The person I fell in love with wouldn't be that person anymore. So no, I wouldn't.

@Tuesday, I don't know if the second part of your answer was supposed to be funny, but it totally was. It made me think that even though the relationship as husband and wife would ultimately end, we'd end up being and staying best friends. Maybe the new she would take up crafting and dancing with me. Whenever someone gives him a strange look for not passing as a female I'd yell "what's the matter? Haven't you seen a woman before?!"

Well I guess that depends if this was something that had been mentioned early in the relationship. My current guy and I? If he came to me tomorrow telling me he'd get a sex change, I'd end it. I love him. And though I'd still love her...not in the same way. That would fall into the category of "I don't know if I agree with it, but I'll support you because I care, regardless."

But I wouldn't be sexually attracted to the new woman. I just wouldn't.
I'd consider being with a man who was once a woman, but not the other way, I don't think.
