>Recap
Jess and Henry got married about two years ago. Henry cut off his left hand ring finger for their honeymoon. Henry works as a nurse and Jess does an administrative job from home. They purchased a townhouse in the city. Jess is a trans man and hid that from Henry for a while because the wolf is stubbornly straight.

Jess’s friends are Sophie, Kai, and Terrence.

Henry’s friends are Victor and Mahan. Becca, his college ex, is currently upset with him.

>Rules
1. Henry and Jess only do sex stuff the other person involved consents to
2. The POV alternates between Jess and Henry after time skips
3. The setting is a modern earth analog where mundane physical reality applies

>26 months after the wedding
Jess stretches out on the carpeted floor, phone to the side set with a five minute timer while she rests on her forearms, butt in line with her legs and shoulders. The fox joined a gym near the townhouse and she’s seen decent improvement in four months' time: her upper arms have more definition and she’s shed her soft belly. Reasonable gains for someone with her testosterone levels.

Miraculously, her friends STILL don’t know about Henry’s finger since the wolf dipped out of the housewarming party. They finished their DnD campaign with a bottle of cheap champagne to celebrate before Kai left to residency in New York, and they’ve been on the hunt for a trustworthy new player since. Hard to find a well-adjusted, nerdy adult who’s not already busy with work or extracurriculars.

Argh, her core is starting to get tired only a minute and a half into the hover. Five minutes is soooooo lonnnnnng.

A. Focus on endurance–hold firm!
B. Cheat a little by shifting weight from arm to arm
C. Admit defeat, aim for three minutes instead

D) Think carefully about how Henry wants to control your body fat content. Then ask yourself: how much of it can you personally control?
Push yourself with a bargain: if you can push yourself just to improve then you don't need to listen to Henry. If you have a strong will then you have the strength to convince him to be your own person. Otherwise, you might need to admit defeat and live with the pudge-love.
What do you want when you're under stress?

A is what you wanna do, but
C is what you settle with.

A. No pain, no gain.

How's Henry been? Can you tell? The time he got mad and fucked you seemed like it might have led to some detente, but he was beside himself at the party. How've things been since?

B. Yeah, it's cheating, but once you get used to it, you'll be able to do it without cheating in the future.

>>1105242
Support makes sense

B
Progress until you don't need it

>>1105261
Will make up sex you manipulate him into be as effective now without the gain? And how is becca and you managed to avoid the issue of your friends knowing about your henrys missing finger so that must be a relief wonder if they heard him

B. cheat a little

>>1105239
B

I'd say either A, or A given up for C, like >>1105242 proposes. You are trying to better yourelf, but you still stumble.

>Narrator calls Jess "she".
Sounds like a new arrangement has been made between the two lovebirds, but was it an amiable one?

>Kai left for intership.
SKITISH JACKAL! NOOOO! Congratulations on the new job, thouuuugh!

>B, fake it to make it
It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes when she gives her muscles a micro-break. Jess leans on one arm in a kind of half side hover, then swaps, tail swaying to help keep her balance. It still hurts like hell, but at a more manageable level.

>How’s Henry?
Poor thing’s set up camp at the depression stage of grief between her coming out again and Becca wanting space. Jess is glad he doesn’t want a divorce, but if this keeps up she’ll need to consider if they should separate for their own good.

>How’s Becca?
Jess hasn’t tried to contact her. Victor or Mahan would let them know if anything really bad happened.

>How’s sex been going?
When it happens, which is maybe once a week, it’s been visceral and raw and awesome. She doesn’t push Henry for anything, he’s been the one initiating.

It makes Jess feel excited and tingly whenever he uses male pronouns for her. Of course she’s still fine with feminine pronouns especially since they’re convenient, and it’s not like Mahan would gender her properly if she tried to do a hard swap, so might as well stick with ‘em for now.

The phone alarm rings and Jess collapses onto her stomach with a groan. Despite his misery, Henry’s still a functioning adult, at work right now on his second shift of the week. Maybe she should try doing something nice for him when he gets home?

A hot meal and a gentle touch might be a good place to start.

Cooking dinner will be appreciated, but that may not be special enough to make an impression. Maybe you could pick up a co-op game to play together? It wouldn't be intimate, so it wouldn't hammer in the gender issue further, and it'd give you a bridge to try and interact and help him work through some of his feelings.

He's not gonna get over things on his own. You're going to need to talk about things directly, but just as important will be interactions where you're just trying to enjoy one another's company.

>>1105342
Honestly yeah, as weird as it is to say, the intimacy may have to take a back seat to actually solving the issue. The best way to do this is to just become friends again, play games together, watch some stupid movies and riff on them, just stuff you used to do with each other before you married, hell maybe even before you both started dating.

Hmm...
The Becca thing sucks but I doubt it's often front and center in Henry's mind.
Given the time that's passed, he's probably over mourning the fact that you aren't gonna be soft and subby.
Meanwhile the amount of consistency he's been putting into using male pronouns for you is... Well given the circumstances pretty impressive.
It's clear he still very much loves, respects, and is attracted to you.
This means that whatever is still upsetting him about this is largely in his head. He's having trouble adapting. Hell this could very well be a crisis of identity for him.
Thus, whatever you do for him should make the path easier for him.

I can think of two ways to help this.
First, in whatever you do, be extra thoughtful and romantic. Like pretend y'all are still dating and you're trying to impress him- which now that I think of it, is probably a place you two never were, isn't it? You two had more of a whirlwind romance. This should be fun.

Second thing you could do is casually be more risque, flirtatious, even seductive around him- but still don't initiate things yourself, just come close, tow that line. Every time Henry initiates sex with you is a choice he makes the reinforces his place in this new situation, this reality. The act makes it real but it's the decision that matters. The more he decides to fuck you the more he heals. Thus, if you can persuade him to have sex with you more often while letting him think it's still his idea, he should get better a fair bit faster.

>>1105362
basically browbeat him with the nostalgia but there is perhaps some worry over becoming less attractive to him as he just does not like muscles at all or anything thats slightly more masculine in body
>>1105367
he seemed very devastated over it he did not just lose a sex partner he lost a friend he has had for years upon years long before you Jess you may need to grab Becca out of her Funk and use her do you happen to know what exactly was said and happened between them?
does it even need to be just in his head if he is being constantly reminded, and the sex the first time was when you did something insensitive

>basically browbeat him with the nostalgia

No. Actually trying to rekindle the spark, find what was lost and heal. It doesn't just have to be stuff they did before they started dating too, but it can be actual dates, new ideas as well. Going on dates to new places and doing new things that don't just involve getting kinky. Actually falling in love with each other all over again.

>>1105431
That and Browbeating someone with Nostalgia is just going to make him want what was before.

>A hot, comforting meal to start the conversation
Jess’ll make some extra thick chicken noodle soup once she’s done with the rest of her workout.

>Henry’s still the same wonderful wolf, rekindle the spark
>Help him with his mental block
That’s a great idea! Henry is still respectful, kind, and clearly attracted to her since he still wants to have sordid kinky sex on the regular. Her body hasn’t changed that much, even if she does work out more, so his issue must be more with his mind and self-identity as a boring American hetero husband.

>Is there anything Jess can do about Becca?
Apart from getting even more chummy with Victor and Mahan to learn all of the dog’s secrets, not really.

>Encourage him to have more sex via risque flirting
It has been a while since she’s been actively seductive. About time for her to use her charms again, when appropriate.

Jess finds an old container of chicken stock in the freezer from an experiment reusing a rotisserie carcass and sets it on the counter to thaw while she starts chopping vegetables. Soup is pretty easy, all things considered, and she spends extra time sweating the onions and adding spices until it’s time to put everything together to simmer.

She sits on the sofa and absently reads from a random book she picked up during a library sale until Henry slinks into the townhouse with the air of a beaten dog.

“Hi honey!” she says brightly. “Come have dinner before the noodles get too mushy.”

Once she’s trapped him at the counter where they take their meals, Jess goes on the offensive.

“Let’s go on a date this weekend, Henry. We could watch a movie, go out to eat, get a beer with Mahan, something casual and fun.”

“Oh.” Henry keeps direct eye contact with his bowl of soup. “Okay?”

“Do you have a preference? Is there anything you’ve been itchin’ to try?”

“Not really. You can pick.”

Plan Jess and Henry’s weekend date! Should Jess invite any of their friends?

He seems uncomfy. Let him milk your pecs!

The beach episode (if there is one) alternatively, the pool

>>1105467
The Beach is a good idea! Maybe a nice picnic lunch on the beach. Go get some summer sun with your husband!

A Movie date sounds like a good idea, pick something both of you will like. I think it's for the best if you don't invite any friends this time.

>>1105467
+1 For the beach idea, Henry needs the relaxation and sightseeing.
Speaking of sights, any nude beaches in town?

A nice nature hike where the two of you will be alone together for hours with no distractions. No way to avoid a confrontation then.

Something outdoorsy like a beach or hiking trip followed by something chill, like a moovy.

Kai is only a modest road trip away, along with both the Appalachian Mountains and the beach. Unfortunately, the cost of living is pretty steep…

Well, yes, that’s what lingering existential depression and a 12 hour shift on one’s feet will do to a wolf.

>Beach, don’t invite friends
Outdoors, relaxing, and a good excuse to wear something sexy. Jess plans to bring tuna sandwiches, homemade lemonade, and pasta salad in a little basket.

>Nude beach?
Jess does a little research on the state subreddit. It seems like nude beaches are less and less common in the age of cellphones and the commodification of public spaces. Too much trouble to drive to and investigate the few that remain.

I'll suspend my disbelief for the body paint (I'm curious to see how that would work on fox fur). But here's a thought, what if it was a bikini with the crotch and nips cut out and paint those over.

>>1105534
Now thats a fun idea

>>1105534
Thirding

Big sun hat, bikini top and bottoms (with extra standard swim trunks and loose oversized shirt you can take off for a strip tease bonus) and a hip wrap. Sarong? Whatever, it's coming off anyways.

Bind your chest with anime bandages. The rest is half-inch thick shorts.

>Sarong and one of Henry’s Hawaiian shirts on top
Sufficiently daring to get Jess’s blood pumping, with layers that can be used to maintain modesty for the children’s sake or for a strip tease for Henry’s.

Her husband dons a standard pair of swim shorts and his own floral shirt. With the food packed, they hop in the car and start the hour or so drive to the nearest beach. Jess tries to make smalltalk when she sees something interesting on the highway ads or in the occasional horse pastures, and to her relief Henry responds. Now that it’s the weekend he should have a bit more energy!

The full heat of a Massachusetts summer only musters mid-seventies near the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Between her fur and the outfit, Jess thinks it’s perfect. A lot of other people seem to think so too, the beach is dotted with people having their own summer fun.

What does Jess do first?
A. Talk seriously
B. Eat suggestively
C. Strip seductively and go play in the water

B, start cooking this dog

B, if we wanna talk serious, we do it somewhere private, this is a time to relax and have fun, eat!

B, don't start with the water, work up to that.

C. Time to show off all that hard work you put into your body and to test if that body paint is waterproof.

B) Pretend to have a serious talk but the subject is about how you're going to have his baby by screwing him until his penis is on backwards

Her tuna sandwich is dripping with mayo, relish, and lemon juice. Jess can squeeze a few fishy drops onto her chest to imply far lewder pale liquids, hell it’ll probably happen by accident since she’s not eating at a table. Henry always liked when she put on a show for him while she ate.

“That drive made me hungry, let’s have lunch first.” she says brightly.

They pick a dry spot on the edge of where the waves have soaked the sand a dark brown and open the basket. Jess carefully unwraps their sandwiches and settles into the sun warmed spot, shirt unbuttoned and showing off her painted nipples. At this range Henry can definitely see them.

Sure enough, the white bread is soaked through with savory sandwich juices and she feels some gush out with her first bite. All according to plan.

She makes lots of hums and moans of pleasure, because it also tastes pretty damn good thanks to a splash of hot sauce and fresh red onion. Henry’s ears twitch and he quickly lowers his own sandwich.

“You don’t have to do that for my benefit, I know you don’t like it.” he mutters, barely audible above the waves.

“Wuh?”

“I know you’re not into feeder stuff, you don’t have to pretend to get a rise out of me. I don’t want you to do something you’re not comfortable with!” Henry snaps.

Bro is missing the point, it's not the food it's the show. Ask him to clean you up, or maybe make a bigger mess on your tits.

>>1105688
First off, introspection time! Aren't you? You (had) a (somewhat) solid stance on identity.
Definitely want muscles and large shoulders, but never addressed fat weight; compromise (Musclegut) maybe? Or is it a complete and indeniable nono?

Thoughts aside, tell him you actually do enjoy that sandwich, and were hungry. But you were trying to make things more enjoyable for him but are sorry if that struck a nerve.
Does he want to talk about it, what's going on in there that's working him up so much?

*Deadpan*
Babe, I was eating so much I was starting to hate food. I'm totally fine with food play.

Now then, are you gonna keep overthinking things, or would you rather be seduced by your sexy fox sluttily slamming a sandwich?

>>1105688
Alright. Finish your meal and get some sun. Can we switch to Henry? We need to get in his head here.

Its true, He's going to have a hard time telling when you are being genuine now. All you can do is reassure him you're doing this because you want to. But he doesn't really have reason to trust your word, does he?

Tell him that you're not trying to pretend anything. You're just trying to cheer him up, and she knows this is something that makes him happy. You may not share the kink, but you're hungry, and you enjoy the sandwich you've prepared for yourself.

You understand why he's finding it hard to trust you, but you're going to get through that together if you want to make this work.

Jess chews and swallows. “I mean, I was trying to get you excited because I like getting my husband hot and bothered, but I’m also eating a really good sandwich, dude. It’s not on the same level as the stuff we were doing before that made me upset.”

Henry glares at her. There’ve been an increasing number of these looks in the past few months and Jess isn’t sure she likes it anymore. “I don’t know if I trust you.”

“Okay. Do you wanna talk about it?” she offers.

“Yeah, actually. Would you or would you not be on T if you didn’t have to worry about keeping me happy?”

She doesn’t have to think long to answer this one. “On T, yeah. Muscles are cool.”

Henry points accusatorily like he’s caught her in some groundbreaking lie. “So therefore by staying with me you’re doing something you’re not comfortable with for my benefit! Your feminine body causes you some degree of dysphoria.”

“Don’t overthink it Henry, it’s the same thing where I have the free will to make sacrifices for a greater reward. Eat sandwich messy to tease husband, don’t take T to stay with very nice and awesome husband.” Jess explains.

She sneaks another bite of the sandwich because she did a great job on it, honestly.

“Yuh can geh sedu’ed or yuh can tell muh ta stop ‘f yuh don like it.” she offers.

>Henry choice check (2/3 in favor of seduced because of previous HATE SEX choice): Failure
Henry hesitates, eyes darting to her messy chest. He frowns and shakes his head.

“I don’t like it.”

“Then I won’t do it.”

“Great.”

“Cool.”

Well that was an abysmal failure. Jess grabs a paper napkin to dab at her fur and proceeds to eat her sandwich normally. She’s not sure what to do next.

Time to hit the Earth's natural bath. Go for a dip in the ocean. Will your fur paint last in the water?

Maybe try to keep the conversation going before trying any more horny shenanigans.

Tell him that you aren't resentful of the fact that you aren't on testosterone for his sake. If it was a sticking point you really couldn't get past, then you would end things there and do it. It's a trade-off, like getting up a bit earlier to make a nice breakfast before work or paying more to have food delivered so that you don't have to drive and get it.

You understand why he doesn't trust you though, because for a long time you thought the same about your gender identity. You thought you'd be okay with presenting as a woman, and you were for a while, but over time it ended up eating at you more than you expected. And no, you can't promise that will never happen with testosterone. Maybe a year from now, you'll want it more than you could have ever expected.

You want to share a life with Henry though, and that's a deal-breaker for him. He's made a pretty strong commitment himself already, considering the missing digit. If you can promise anything, it's that you won't spring it on him, the way you did with your transition. If it starts to eat at you, you'll talk to him about it, and you'll try to find alternatives that'll soothe the desire.

You know, I wasn't like... Quietly Suffering back then, right? Like I wasn't pretending to be happy with you, I actually was- and am. If things aren't ideal then I just find a way to make them fun. It's just... It became so much at once that it became frustrating. Stressful. Un-fun. That's why I came clean when I did. I didn't want to pretend. I knew that would end up sucking for both of us. That said I don't mind compromising on some things... Even if I'm left with a couple holes in my soul, I'm confident in your ability to fill them.

Leave him with his thoughts, Tell him you’re going to sunbathe, if he wants to talk, you’ll listen, if he wants to silently rest and enjoy the sun with you, you’ll be happy with that too.
Maybe he can get a good look at your swimsuit this way and notice something off, heehee

>>1105812
This, is guess. Might as well get some sun.

Can I be real here with everyone for a second? This relationship is bound to end badly if this keeps up. I know Jess loves Henry, but is it really best for them if they are in this relationship trying to make it work if they are both miserable? Jess may be trying to be acting business as usual, but it’s clear Henry ain’t there. And after everything that’s been happening, he ain’t going to be okay for a while now. He misses the person he thought Jess was and is now bitter because he feels this “new” Jess stole them away from him. This will only make Jess feel bad and bound to hurt them even more in the future. So I know we are trying to rekindle something but dudes, at some point this ship may not be salvageable. Sorry for the rant, I am trying to think of what is best for both of them to be happy in the end.

>Talk a little more
“Henry, I wasn’t pretending to be happy before–I really was happy to be with you and I still am. I don’t know how many times or how many ways I can tell you that to get you to believe me.” Jess pleads.

“The problem isn’t that I don’t believe you, Jess, the problem is I’m still keeping you from being how you want to be! I’m the barrier and I’m always going to be the barrier because of–because you’re a decent person and want me to be comfortable with your body.”

Henry’s gesticulations get a little wilder and Jess glances around to make sure no one’s paying too close attention to their argument. She doesn’t want some well-meaning lady to come by asking if she needs to get away from her big bad husband.

“It means I’m bad and that bothers me because I don’t like being bad.” Henry explains. “I try really hard to be good, actually, because something in who I am wants to be good. Does that even make sense?”

“Yes it does, but when you’re frustrated with yourself it makes it more stressful when you’re frustrated with me too.”

“Well yeah, I’m also mad that you basically tricked me into getting married.”

“I did lie to you.”

“And that’s more bad energy on top of this whole mess! Agh, I should just shut up.” Henry shuffles his legs so he’s facing slightly away from her and takes a big bite of the food.

>Sunbathe
There’s a cool ocean breeze coming off the waves and Jess quickly finishes eating, takes off her shirt and sarong, and stretches out with her stomach on the dry sand to soak in the warmth of the sun. She closes her eyes and listens to Henry working on his sandwich. For the first time, she seriously wonders if it would be better if they got a divorce.

Kids are probably never going to happen at this point and Jess won’t be able to put up with Henry being grumpy and bitter forever, even if the sex is great. Divorce would be agony for both of them in the short run, but they’re young and could find new partners. It’s a natural continuation of the consequences of revealing her secret.

Or she could suck it up and keep trying with the fun date ideas since this is only the first attempt. It’s good that Henry is communicating with her, even if it doesn’t seem like they’re making progress.

A. Don’t give up!
B. This isn’t going to work

A. I don't think this relationship is unsalvageable yet. If Henry ever decides that it is, then sure, he's allowed to make that choice, but you still see potential in staying together.

Maybe ask if he'd want to go to couple's therapy, or if he'd rather keep working out his feelings as he's been doing. I think his natural impulse would be the latter, but I think you should make it clear that you'd prefer the former. Not because you think there's a problem with him feeling bad in response to everything, but because sooner or later he's going to need to finish processing his feelings so that he can feel good again, and so that y'all can figure out where this relationship is going. If he's up for it, it'd be a good sign that he's still open to trying to make this work.

Also, tell him you love him. He probably knows, but it never hurts to repeat the sentiment.

If his actions send you to the hospital, that's the point where you need to cut off.
Until then, though, you're still in a position of power and influence to salvage this relationship. What matters is that he continues to treat you like a person he wants to love, and you can rebuild your relationship from there. If he loses it and treats you like a slab of meat, there's no saving that.

Unless one of you is willing to give up a deeply held dream in order to satisfy the other, the marriage probably won't work. Henry would have to give up on being married to a feminine woman, or you'd have to give up on transitioning, and I don't think either of you are willing to do those things or ask the other to do those things. A marriage isn't about power or influence over the other, you cannot maintain a true relationship unless both partners are fully willing to maintain it. To insist otherwise is to place an unequal yoke upon your partner, and that point, are you even really partners anymore?

Also,
> It’s a natural continuation of the consequences of revealing her secret.

Yes, marriages formed under false pretenses don't tend to be healthy, lasting ones. This is supposed to be a lifelong partnership, not something built on a foundation of sand.

B) If two people want different things out of a relationship, its better to break it off now rather than drag it out over years. You thought you could fight through dysphoria, but it clearly got to you. That will only grow into resentment over time.

>>1105911
All this was triggered by a bout of edging where jess could not admit that it was to much for her beacuse of the competative spirit and henrys confidence has been sort of damaged by the shock collar thing.
Also been thinking if this continued i had basically planned for becca to be the surrogate or birthmother and jess gets to be dads with Henry

A)

Wanting different things from your partner is natural.
The question is how much different; is the difference way too much, and how much of it is insurmountable.
If Henry is internalizing the whole situation, and actually attempting to accept some of it, that's his choice of how to cope with the situation and he might come to term with it, or decide it is way too much and ask himself if breaking is unavoidable, so its at least worth a try, he's just saying he needs time.

You did lie, but then you told the truth, stop beating yourself over it being a natural continuation of anything, it really isn't, you tried to right a wrong and you did, having a relationship while continuing to hide behind a lie would've been much more hurtful in the long run for yourself and having a relation that started with a lie but then was rebuilt on trust is already a step in the right path.

Now Henry knows what this is about, everybody knows what they want, and believing it can or cannot work is completely up to both parties willingness to accept things for what they are and compromising, or deciding if things aren't worth the effort and giving up.

If you still ask yourself the question then you're unsure, and if you're unsure then you're not yet ready to give up, now you could always just enjoy the date the best you can, let Henry come to term with his own choices, eventually time will heal the wounds and he won't be grumpy forever (this is practically impossible) and ask him later if he thinks breaking up is something he'd want, because it's not like your entire marriage was build around your gender, there has been other factors and reasons that led you both to decide it was something you wanted.

This sort of decision isn't something you decide yourself without asking your partner, and maybe find some counseling somewhere.

A.
Henry is overthinking this so bad. Like. If you're happy then he's not preventing you from being... well you, right?And that kinda makes sense. Marriage is the sort of partnership where your identity gets wound up with someone else, after-all. That aside, if you're happy then what's the problem in the first place?

In fact. Tell him that.
If you're happy, then he's not doing anything wrong or bad to you. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

Alright heavy shit aside, you didn't go through the effort of preparing this outfit for nothin', right?
Flick that tail, wiggle that butt. He's close enough to notice if his eyes land in the right spot.

Yeah the mood's weird now, but goddamnit maybe this date can be salvaged if you can short-circuit his brain and drag his mind back to the present instead of... Wherever the fuck it is right now.

A

I recommend against repeated attempts at seduction. Henry has made his position clear, and he's not in a mood to be tempted. If you keep trying, you're showing disrespect for his feelings and boundaries.

He's a big old softie! He's only mean to you when he thinks you'll like it, or maybe when there's no other way to get through to you. You gotta show that you get the message. The date was supposed to be fun, but it's also a break from routine; a new venue might be a good opportunity to talk things over from a fresh perspective. If you can find a stretch of beach to walk along that's private enough, or a deserted corner near an ice cream stand, maybe try broaching some of the big topics.

The two big ones he just cited are 1) that he wants you to be happy, and he doesn't want to stand in the way of your happiness, and 2) he feels like he can't trust you. This is a thorny combo: if he feels like he can't trust you, then he won't trust that you're really satisfied when you say you are. You have to tell it to him in a way he'll believe, and that might be hard for you. You've been telling him that you're happy enough, and that you see it as a worthwhile compromise to forego some things that would be nice to have in your life to have him, but that hasn't worked; it's not what he's looking for. He's a softy, he's sensitive, and he loves you--he doesn't want you to have to compromise, and every time you tell him he's worth a few sacrifices is a reminder that because he's here with you, you're not the person you wish you were. Your psycopathy might make it difficult to understand, but Henry doesn't want to negotiate or make a deal with you--he wants desperately to be able to help you live the life you want to live, and he's frightened and hurt at the idea that he might not fit into that life.

You need to feel out new boundaries. Ask him how he feels about the situation, and just listen. Have you talked much about what your transition means for you(pl) as a couple? I get the sense that it's been happening mostly on your own initiative, and he's been on the outside looking in. Talk about your plans and wishes, and ask how he feels about them. Don't try to make offers to him right now, he's not looking for concessions; and don't try to discount his concerns, he wants to be heard and respected. And if you can think up any broad romantic gesture, doing something that will remind him of your first date, or when your proposal happened, or some event that made you two decide you were right for each other, lean into it. That's the sort of thing that will help him understand that you really do value your relationship, and want it to continue. Treating your relationship as an exercise in haggling will not speak to his romantic heart.

>A
Henry is a big softie who’s super cute and loves her for who she is, in all her unnerving glory. It would be a terrible waste to give up on him so quickly. As she bakes in the sand, the sting of rejection evaporates in the sun and Jess feels ready and eager to dive back into Henry’s brain. He probably needs a break though, so she’ll plot for now.

>What if Henry loses it and hurts her badly?
Hot, but very unlikely. Henry is notoriously sober apart from a few drinks now and then and would literally never forgive himself.

>Couples’ therapy?
A good idea if things get too thorny for her to fix by herself. For now she’d like to save a couple thousand bucks.

>Speaking of money, can they get a surrogate?
Prohibitively expensive, and they’ll lose out on all the fun of lactation and impregnation play. A lot of good things can come of this, the Double Income No Kids lifestyle will help them pay off the townhouse in no time and they can start putting money into fun stuff like vacations or a second car.

>Henry’s thinking about it, which means he can process and move past it
That’s right! And he wants what’s best for her, even if that tangles him into a logic knot. She can try more romantic gestures and thoughtful talks for their next date.

>What about the dysphoria?
It only bothered her before because the combined weight gain and orgasm denial mental funk was pissing her off. If they avoid that she should be happy with her modest gains.

She flicks her tail as she thinks and perks up when she feels Henry scoot closer.

“You know, It’s really easy to see your pussy when you spread your legs. Aren’t you scared some poor kid is going to notice and get traumatized from the indecent exposure?” he asks, not bothering to whisper since the waves stop their words from carrying.

“That’s why I’m facing this way, all the kids are playing near the water, which is the fun part of the beach.”

“Well, what happens when your husband gets jealous of all the men getting an eyeful of his wife?” His hand creeps onto her thigh and squeezes gently.

Jess wags her tail harder. Food play is off the table but it sounds like general horny behavior at the beach isn’t!

A. Ask to be fingered
B. Give him a discrete handjob
C. Other (suggest lewd activity that won’t draw too much attention)

Jess lifts her hips a little to press into Henry’s hand, which goes rigid.

“Wait, fuck, I’m sorry, I meant husband. All the men getting an eyeful of my husband.” Henry blurts out.

Jess rolls her eyes at the ocean. “It’s fine, that sentence would have been a nightmare with two ‘husbands’ in it.”

“Partner, then.” Henry puffs. “I’ll stick to saying partner from now on to avoid any confusion.”

“Very modern, dear. Why don’t you cover up your partner’s pussy? Clearly I can’t be trusted to keep myself modest.”

It’s fun having Henry and potential random beach goers outside her range of view so her imagination can run wild with voyeuristic fantasies. In reality, she doubts anyone who’s noticed cares. What are they gonna do, file a complaint about hot perverts to the beach police? Nobody’s got time or energy to give a shit about normal people’s business these days.

She feels Henry run his big hand up her thigh to tug at the base of her tail, before dipping between her butt cheeks to push the cheap fabric of the black bikini bottoms to the side. Jess rests her head in her arms and sighs with delight.

The loose grains of sand rubbing into her mucous membranes aren’t exactly pleasant, but they add novel texture and make it hard to resist squirming.

“Don’t move.” Henry tells her sternly. “Do you want everyone to see you with my hand between your legs? You want an audience for your little stunt coming to the beach with your nipples and cunt out?”

“Y-yes.” she whines.

This earns her a third finger as a reward–or maybe a punishment because she has to hide her face to muffle her squeals.

Henry makes her cum within half a minute of concentrated fingerblasting, before wiping his hand on her butt and pulling her modified bikini back into place as best he can.

“I smeared a lot of that paint, it’s pretty obvious there’s a hole now.” Henry comments.

A. Retrieve the sarong and walk along the beach
B. The risk is part of the reward! Play in the water

That's gonna be a big ol' B for me, play in the water!

A. We have our little victory. Let's walk off to a quieter corner to really celebrate.

>B, make a mad dash toward the water
Jess stealthily lifts her weight onto her feet and elbows, then leans back on her haunches and shoots forward as best she can on soft, dry sand.

“Wha–? Jess!”

She doesn’t wait for Henry as she charges into the glittering water, meeting the nearest wave as it breaks against the beach. Only then does she turn around to look at her husband.

“C’mon honey, let’s cool off!”

Henry stumbles to join her, boner barely noticeable against his right leg under his swim shorts. Jess holds her breath and immerses herself in the chilly sea, soaking her fluffy fur and washing away the slime between her legs. The paint is supposed to be water resistant, but she doubts it’ll last in these conditions.
She emerges to smack her hands against the surface of the water, sending a shower of cold drops at the wolf. Henry yelps and hugs her around the middle, covering her body with his bulk. Jess revels in the feeling of a bigger, stronger body holding her in place.

“You, you–” Jess waits for Henry to find a word that isn’t ‘minx’ or ‘vixen’ or otherwise female associated. “You naughty brat, don’t go running off like that.”

Henry lets her go and she bends over to waggle her butt at him. Henry splashes her hole in retaliation and spanks her ass with a light slap before wading into deeper water, up to his hips. They play in the waves for an hour before Jess admits defeat and starts leading Henry back to land.

>People notice her nips check: Success
A passing horse mom stares at Jess’s chest before snapping her gaze back to the beach. Jess’s cheeks heat up and she glances down to see her pink nipples are pretty obvious surrounded by the damp black fabric of the bikini top. It might be time to put on a shirt.

Henry shakes himself with a big spray of water and they towel off back by their picnic basket. The sun feels great after the cold ocean.

>Mpreg? Male lactation?
Absolutely. Most of the fictional content with those fetishes is fujoshi created, although there’s been a rise in transmasc works in recent years. Jess is a refined connoisseur of such things, always on the prowl for rare bara pregnancy.

>Adoption?
Adopting out of foster care could work from a financial standpoint, though Jess doesn’t think that’s what Henry had in mind if they were to start a family.

Once they’re mostly dry, Henry says he’s ready to go home and rest. Jess decides to drive so she’s not tempted to practice her road head.

A. Talk (suggest topics)
B. Stay quiet

B) Remember that therapist who got into an argument with his wife on the road and almost got themselves killed? Wait until you get to bed before you start a pillow fight.

>28 months after the wedding
Objectively, things are good. He and Jess have been going on fun dates, the fox seems stable, and they have nice things like jobs and food and healthcare.

Henry sighs and taps at his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop. He’s been trying to write and give closure to the handful of vocal fans of his feeder stories, but the words don’t come. His brain feels tired from the thorny mass of hypocrisy that seems to fill most of his spare mental space, prickling under his skull.

It’s frustrating and after half a year, he’s sick of it. He’s not as mad at Jess, true, but more needs to change in his own head for him to be happy again.

None of the options below are a guaranteed success:
A. Go to therapy
B. Start taking SSRIs
C. Initiate advanced rationalization protocol (suggest how Henry CBTs himself)

A with potential for B. Talk to a therapist first to get some profession takes on if drugs would be good for you.

Yeah, it might be annoying to find the right formulation, and once you do it'll prolly only work for a couple years cuz your body will continuously get used to it...
But that's a couple extra years you have to figure yourself out *while* being happy.

If Henry does end up needing drugs, the therapist can recommend a psychiatrist to get him a prescription. He can also go through his general practitioner if need be, but it’s more official this way.

Aw man, but he doesn’t even have childhood trauma to psychoanalyze. Henry’s a normal, ordinary, horny guy. Hopefully he can find someone who doesn’t mind him glossing over his nonexistent sad backstory because Henry’s read more than a couple horror stories about therapists who were completely off base in their suggestions, or just not helpful at all.

The wolf closes his feeble attempt at writing and starts researching nearby therapists. Since he’s always been pretty healthy, he’s on the high deductible plan so he doubts insurance will end up paying for anything.

Dr. Machine
Species: Robot Tiny Mouse in a large body
Seems profoundly absurd and only has 4-star serious reviews at best. However, most of the reviews are profound, detailed, and show a healthy balance between positivity and ethics. This machine is good at what they do... even if what they do can't be described easily or sanely.

She's a super cute and curvy hippopotamus. Obscenely hot in Henry's opinion, whether or not hippos are his normal cup of tea.

She's entirely non-judgmental and known for being very sex-positive. She's legitimately a good therapist.

But she's also young, early twenties. Always the over-achiever she graduated high school early and went straight into college. She got her degree last year (A year faster than most, at that). As such, despite being a natural at her job, she can often miss the line between being friendly and unprofessional. She can sometimes be a bit too hands on, even flirty without realizing it. Given the right situation she might get caught up in events and end up making some... Serious decisions without fully thinking them through.

This. Her name is Dr. Linda Hoffman. She is entirely professional at her work, and actually takes time to hear her patients out. Not only has she done therapy but is also a fully licensed psychiatrist.

I had an idea that I fully forgot to post, so I'mma write it up now:

Name: Dr. Madeline "Maddy" Richards
Species: Horse
Appearance: Tall, but very traditionally pretty with long luscious hair and an hourglass figure.

I think it'd be neat if Henry's therapist was a traditionally feminine girl who might actually be Henry's type. She shows up to sessions in casual but pretty dresses rather than something more formal, reflecting her methodology of making therapy seem approachable. Her light approach can leave some sessions a bit light on deep discussions, as she tries to let Henry feel in-control, even when that means steering the ship away from deeper topics before he's ready.

The reason Henry picked her specifically, is because she's a trans-woman. He figured she might understand Jess' perspective better, and maybe she could help him bridge the gap between his feelings and hers.

Well, Dr. Machine is the first person he’s found who has availability that fits Henry’s schedule, so he might as well give it a try.

Henry paws weakly for his cellphone to make the call to schedule an appointment. Maybe he’ll end up liking spilling all of his woes to a lit-up square after he gives it a chance. Henry’s lucky he doesn’t have to look at a computer all day for his job so a little more screen time won’t hurt.

He feels like he’s slowly drowning in the demands of daily interactions. Go to work, be professional, help the sick and dying, come home, exchange pleasantries with his partner–it’s all so heavy now.

>Dr. Machine gender roll: Male
When Henry opens the video chat link, he sees a short, fluffy mouse with large pink ears. Dr. Machine lacks the bitter world-weariness of Mahan, but otherwise kind of reminds Henry of the pika.

“Hello there Henry! It’s nice to meet you, I see you marked depression as the reason we’re calling today, tell me what’s been on your mind.”

Henry scratches his cheek self-consciously. The reviews had said this guy was a bit eccentric, and he’s not sure how he should phrase his marriage troubles to get the most bang for his buck.

You've had patients that beat around the bush before, right? Annoying. Don't be one. He's the professional, it's his job to figure out the best approach. Just give it to him straight: your marriage seems good on paper, but it isn't what you want, and you want to stop feeling like you're going through the motions and get back to a place where you feel happy.

He's a stranger, might as well just tell it like you see it. An outside perspective will help

Well your wife entirely lied about the very basis of who she said she was. Pretty much entirely just changed all your life plans. Went back on her word after you sacrificed your finger as a show of thanks.

Not good?

Explain that you already feel toxic while your wife feels manipulative.

You want to work up to honesty but like, lay the groundwork first, make it easier on him. Start with that sentiment about how nothing feels easy any more. That there's nowhere you feel like you can relax, or not have to watch yourself, it's all heavy, and that's what you want to fix. That'll be familiar to him, and it lays out the end goal you want to reach.

As for describing the marriage situation... well, basically, it was good for a long time, it's good on paper, but your partner has recently been honest about something that changes a lot and you feel deceived. But you also feel like maybe the dishonesty was because of pressure you put on without really realizing it, the dishonesty was an attempt to please you. Now it's all difficult and you want to make it work, you invested a lot into the marriage and you do still like your partner a lot, but it's all painful and difficult.

Don't be afraid to ask him like... meta questions about answering his questions? What he wants to know or where you should start or how deep into complications or details. You're paying him to provide guidance, so get your money's worth.

“My partner is a trans man who I thought was a woman and it was great until a while ago when I found out he lied about his gender identity so that I’d marry him. We get along well otherwise, I gave up a finger on our honeymoon because he likes that kind of thing, and I don’t think I want a divorce–”

“Sorry to interrupt, but could you repeat what you said about your finger?” Dr. Machine says brightly.

“Oh, I mean you can see it here. My friends say I was stupid, I cut it off as a romantic gesture.” Henry holds his left hand up to the camera. It feels weird being honest about his finger with a stranger.

“Hm, yes yes, you do know that I’m supposed to report any harm or threats of harm to yourself or others?” At Henry’s expression, the mouse chuckles and waves his hand. “Oh don’t worry, I’ll make an exception. Do you regularly engage in masochism?”

“Yeah, sometimes. We’re both pretty kinky.”

“Go on with what you were saying.”

Henry struggles to find his train of thought again. “I guess I’ve been feeling like a bad person? Because Jess was pretending to be a woman because of me and he’s still pretending so we stay together, so I’ve been doubting all of our interactions. He can be kind of manipulative, though it’s usually for what he thinks is our benefit, that’s just kind of how he is. The other thing is I thought we were going to start a family but that’s not going to happen. Got my hopes up for nothing.”

“So you don’t have a history or family history of depression?” Dr. Machine confirms.

“Yeah, this is a first. I get anxious sometimes but it’s manageable. That’s a good thing, right? What kind of strategy are you thinking of for me?”

Dr. Machine sits up straighter in his chair and waves his tiny paws excitedly. “I think we can try some shadow work, Henry. It’s based on the teachings of Carl Jung, we identify what feelings you may be suppressing in your unconscious and work to unify the self. Tell me something you dislike seeing in others, or describe a facet of yourself you think is shameful.”

A) You were raised to think that conservatism is... okay?
More like you were raised to believe that it had a minimum limit to how much damage it could do, compared to flagrant liberalism.
... That might be wrong, but you don't know how to disprove what your community taught you.

How about the fact that even though Jess is clearly putting in the work for things to work out, ever since his confession you've had a lot of difficulty talking and interacting with him. Sure there's small talk but the connection isn't there. You snap at or get paranoid towards Jess randomly when yall try. You don't know who he is anymore. It's like living with a stranger who loves you. Almost everything you do with him feels wrong, almost like you're taking advantage or abusing him but there's no way of knowing for sure.

These.

Jess embracing his gender identity is what's right for him, so you feel you should be supportive, but you're still angry. If you can't accept this does that make you as bad as Mahan?

>>1106663
I also lost a friend due to my partner getting them into a threesome and she never wants to see me again i felt weak i could not even touch the door knob to be there for her i drove home to her beacuse i was so worried.
It sometimes feels like Jess ignores my feelings thinking its done instead talking about how they want to eat the placenta when we have the baby.

>>1106726
Just a feeling of cowardice never being able to help even if it only would cause minor discomfort, never fully honest or driven beyond the needs of others, its what i do at my job but its also my life i am a people pleaser but i cant comfort or comfront.
I cant even be angry, i am only angry if allowed to be angry if thats what jess wants for sex.

Also you're worried about Becca, your friend (and polygamous third-wheel, who you and Jess enjoye your open marriage with). You want to reach out, but she's not responsive.

>C, anger
“I’ve been angry about all this, but the emotion isn’t helping or going away, it doesn’t feel like I’m being angry right, if that makes sense, because I know I’m supposed to process stuff and move on. I shouldn’t be angry at Jess because it’s good for him that he’s being honest and embracing his identity. I don’t hate trans people or anything, it’s just sometimes I wish I wasn’t married to one.” Henry nibbles on the tip of his finger between sentences as he rambles. “I know it’s important to have an outlet and we’ve been having aggro sex whenever I feel like it, which is fun, I guess. Jess reallys enjoys it when I throw him around.”

Dr. Machine nods. “Men are socialized from childhood not to express anger, which makes it a common source of distress when going through a frustrating or threatening situation.”

“Oh, one more thing, the marriage stuff started a bit before I found out one of my close friends Jess and I were hooking up with doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. She hasn’t reached out since then and it really hurts.” Henry sighs and puts his head in his hands. “I know she’s still alive and stuff but I feel like a douche for…for taking advantage of her emotionally.”

“ Hmmm…” The mouse strokes his chin. “Have you tried going into the woods and hitting trees with a big stick?”

“Huh?”

“And raging and screaming and crying? A proper violent outburst without the worry that anyone is judging you for it would do wonders, I think. Take a friend, if you’d like. That’s your first assignment.”

“Alright.” Camping sounds like a lot of work when Henry’s so tired all the time, but he already has the basic gear and he could invite Mahan or Victor.

“Second, I’d like you to write down your most deranged, psychotic thoughts on paper. What you’d like to do to Jess, your friends, your boss, society, the world, any and all of it. When you’re done you can keep it or tear it to pieces. The point of the exercise is to acknowledge your shadow desires instead of feeling shame for having them, which stifles your ability to embrace your anger.”

That makes sense, even if it kind of sounds like Dr. Machine wants him to become a Sith Lord. They finish the 45 minute session with more therapy speak before the mouse cheerfully waves goodbye and leaves the call.

Ever the good boy, Henry fidgets for a few moments before grabbing a notepad off the desk to start his homework.

Suggest some of Henry’s socially unacceptable urges and thoughts. These could be things Henry would probably never do because of the repercussions or physical restrictions, but occasionally fantasizes about.

>>1106779
Forcing his "husband" to drop the identity and accept her place as a woman and wife? Physically if necessary?

You can definitely think of a couple desires you know better than to act on...

You want to make Becca to talk to you, even though she doesn't want to. You want to force her to discuss her feelings and hear you out.

You want to slam a baby in Jess and make a woman out of him, whether he wants it or not.

You know what? I'm not opposed to hitting up a rage room, or maybe actually going out into the woods with a big fuck off axe or stick, some place where we can scream, rage, turn our anger towards something just as an outlet and really just go fucking berserk. Fuck it. Why not?Keeping this pent up is not good for us and hey you know, if we can get a video tape of it, I bet it would do something to Jess.

>>1106779
Here's a fantasy to go with all of this, how about mating pressing Jess while keeping your teeth around their throat. Embracing the wolf side of you.

Write up a surreal short story that blames the supernatural - Heaven, in particular - for almost everything wrong with society, and how your supervillain protagonist wages war against them. Emphasize that the worst thing you could do to Jess is force the bill for your violent terrorism upon her.

>>1106779
Waiting until Jess is out of the house, throwing all your shit in the car, and just booking it over the horizon.
No messages, no warning, not even a forwarding address. You're there one minute and gone the next.
Cutting all contact with your old life and calling it a wash.

>Force Jess to be a traditional woman and wife and have his children
If only there was some way for Jess to still be Jess but also a submissive, chubby, tradwife. It’s not in the fox’s nature, and sabotaging his birth control and raping him won’t change that. Okay, but for the purpose of this exercise, just because it’s not possible doesn’t mean Henry can’t want it. There’s probably some dumb, deeper psychological reason for all this, which is manifesting as these sordid desires blah blah blah.

>Ditch Jess and start a new life
Alright, so Henry wants Jess to be dependent and needy, hentai mindbreak style, and he also wants to run away from him and never look back. A contradiction on the surface, but also Henry feels that both desires are very real. He can’t completely run away from his problems, but some space would be good. Maybe he can throw an impromptu road trip into his assigned camping adventure.

>Make Becca to talk to him
If he could make Becca listen, Henry’s sure he’d be able to explain that he didn’t try to take advantage of her and that this was all a big misunderstanding about her emotional needs. Right now he still feels guilty that she hates him. He didn’t mean to hurt her, not at all, he really cares about Becca!

>Scapegoat old dead people and rich alive people
Agh, politics. He can’t even be mad about Jess without feeling like he’s betraying multiple central tenets of modern leftism! If he had more time to read the news or had lingering religious trauma maybe he’d be able to blame the wealthy and powerful for this somehow. Right now he’s pretty sure his depression is mostly a him problem.

Henry taps his pen against the notepad. Dr. Machine is on to something, writing things down did distill some understanding in the moonshine operation of his skull. Mostly that he wants Jess to need him, except the fox doesn’t and never will. Which is healthy and good, but really scary, because it means everything could break at any second.

Going berserk in the woods is sounding more and more appealing, maybe Henry can take the car and go tonight.
A. Ask Mahan to come
B. Ask Victor to come
C. Go alone

C) But make sure everyone knows where you are so you aren't murdered by a serial killer without them getting found out.

B
He's levelheaded enough to let you vent out and keep you safe from yourself, mostly.

B) a writer should have some ideas on how to draw out your emotions

A: While he would have issues discussing anything beyond stoic male resolve when it comes to emotional problems. Mehan may be the exact sort of person to help you get one hell of a proper primal screamfest going while chopping down trees and destroying a bit of nature.

Go alone if you can, bring Vic if you have to.

C. This is something you should really do by yourself. Let Jess know where you're going though, just in case something contrived happens and you wind up stuck there.

>C, peaceful solitude
Henry looks up a campsite in the mountains an hour or two away, a flicker of excitement giving him more energy than usual. Oh boy, he can light a fire, grill sausages, make s’mores under the stars, then sleep in his ultralight bag in a cozy tent. As a precaution, he texts Victor where he’s planning to go in case he gets serial killed or runs the car off a bridge or something.

He sneaks downstairs and starts rifling through the closet where he thinks he put his old gear. Jess, of course, notices.

“Whatcha doin’?”

“Going out tonight. Staying at a campsite and making dinner.” Henry grumbles.

“Oh fun, with the boys?”

“No, just me.”

Jess’s tail flicks against the couch cushions and he turns his gaze back to his graphic novel. “Well, even if you’re tempted, try not to kill yourself.”

Henry bristles, heat blooming in his face. Now is not the time for a suicide joke. “That’s not fucking funny, Jess.”

“It wasn’t? My bad. Have fun, honey.”

Henry piles his dusty supplies in the trunk and makes a stop at the nearest convenience store to get snacks and a lighter. There’s a hardware store next door and he grabs a cheap hatchet before starting the journey to the mountains.

It’s summer, so the campsite is swarming with families and loud, annoying kids, but Henry still finds a flat, dry spot with a fire pit and scuffed concrete picnic table to set up his little tent and bag. He can’t be there to watch his stuff if he goes into the woods to wreck shit, surely nothing will get stolen when there’s so many people around?

What should he do this evening to blow off steam? It’ll be light out for several more hours.

Do some writing. Doesn't have to be for your current project, just take notes of what is in your heart.

Tear apart a tree with your bare claws.

Calm down after you fail to chop it down.

Find one of those dead-on-its-feet half rotted trees and knock it over. Then whack it with a branch. Maybe bite it.

After the sun goes down put on a mask (Or just cover face with mud or a bag you can see through in a pinch), grab your hatchet, and terrorize local teenagers.

All the best fun only happens when there's a chance of getting arrested.

>>1107107
Gaze upon eyecandy.
Perhaps try drawing

Go for a hike. It's nice to be out in the woods, and the trails will probably be less crowded than the campgrounds. It might also be a good way to scout out potential freak-out sites.

But geez, scream therapy? We'll see how this works, but I'm pretty sure this mostly results in sore throats and anger management problems. If it works, that's great, but I get a feeling we might want to start shopping for a new therapist.

>Find a dry, dead tree to tear apart
A marvelous plan, he can take a short hike on the nearby trail to scout eligible victims. Hatchet in hand, Henry stalks the woods, marveling at the lush greenery and flicking his ears to clear hungry mosquitos. Whenever someone walks by he returns to normal, non-serial killer mannerisms to avoid frightening any children, teens, or adults.

There’s plenty of still standing barren white pine along the trail, and he finds a trim leaning trunk to descend on with his claws and teeth and blade and hack to pieces. Jess would be able to explain in detail how chopping wood differs from butchering flesh to dispose of a corpse–Henry’s glad the fox isn’t here to analyze his form.

He didn’t get too far from camp since that would make hauling wood back a pain, and he loads up on more than enough fuel to cook dinner, puffing with exertion.

>Theft avoidance check (80%): Success
Henry finds his possessions and tent exactly where he left them when he returns with his kill, which he dumps in armfuls by the fire pit before slicing up some sticks into perfect feathery fire starters. Be prepared! Learn to tie knots that’ll be useful in the future for securing lovers! Boy Scouts of America let’s gooooooooo!

Once he has a strong flame, Henry adds a few of the larger split logs and preps his food. He assembles skewers laden with refrigerated pastry dough and those wonderful cheap hotdogs, and snacks on chips patiently while he waits for the fire to burn down to manageable roasting levels.

>Arts and crafts
Pleasantly stuffed with junk, Henry turns his attention to the little notebook he brought along for the journey. He’s never been much of an artist, but he doodles misshapen fertility icons as the sun sets.

>Fresh air, tree murder, and sketching mood improvement check (70%): Failure
Henry crumples the page of his shitty scribbles and spikes it in the fire. This is stupid. He feels stupid, seeing all these happy families while he’s alone and pathetic. Dr. Machine’s advice didn’t work, what kind of hackneyed idea is scream therapy anyway?

He has trouble sleeping on the hard packed dirt, light synthetic bag not doing him any favors. It takes packing everything up the next morning to warm his toes and fingers, after which Henry sluggishly drives back to civilization.

A. Find a new therapist
B. Keep trying this dumb shadow stuff

B. Give it at least one more try before calling it a dud.

B. Really I think the issue is that your dark urges aren't the core of the issue, just a reaction to it. Being able to take care of yourself at a camp and draw and stuff helped a little but not really.

I think the real problem here is that you're feeling like Jess doesn't need you. Like... I think subconsciously you had a little bit of sexism in the back of your head that told you that a woman needed a man to take care of her, and that made things feel secure for you. Now Jess is a man and that part of you feels like a man is intrinsically more independent and self-reliant. Jess doesn't have to put up with you, doesn't need you, so you feel unsafe and like you can't expose your thoughts or feelings to him, in case it gives him reason to leave you - because now you feel like his tolerance is lower. So you just... keep away. But you're still afraid, and the source of the fear is Jess, making you feel hurt and angry. That makes you want space, also makes you get violent impulses. At the same time you fantasize things that would make Jess less able to leave - pregnancy, weight, etc. Part of it is maybe you feeling like you can't leave, because of all the investments you've made to tie yourself to Jess. Which on some level maybe makes you feel like now you're 'the woman' in this?

I slightly wonder if maybe that feeling of secure dependence vs. insecure independence is a part of why you're straight beyond physical bits preferences, but. That's a bit of a stretch maybe. Talk to the therapist about it.

B) What will be really telling is how he reacts when you say his advice didn't help. Will he adjust, or will he imply you are at fault. This will determine weather you should drop him

A. Shadow work isn't much different from normal therapy. It's more of a framing device that makes therapy more accessible. If you're having trouble taking it seriously, there's no harm in looking elsewhere.

At least mauling a tree to death was kinda fun.

B) try anything twice

>>1107248
B) giving up at the first step gets you nowhere
>>1107270
Could it even be that just Jess suggested Divorce at all makes you feel less secure

>>1107333
Also interesting how you switch from the serial killer mannerisms when anyone could possibly see its a bit of pattern you change how you act for others

>>1107270
Stretch? That's a whole damn plastic man. Jess literally ate his finger on the ground that "We're BOTH giving up something" then suddenly decided "Nevermind lol"

How self loathing are you to think this is HIS fault?

>>1107335
I agree, putting blame on Henry for subconscious sexism feels wrong, it frames it as all his fault. I think he's definitely got some problems feeling like he isn't necessary and of course, straightness problems aside, most people want to be wanted by someone. That's a pretty normal thing to feel. Here's a good frame of mind for this:

You don't want someone to "need" you, what you want is someone who doesn't need you in the slightest, but they choose to be with you because they love you.

I am also however in favor of B. Keep going with it for now, maybe take a walk away from the campsite where we see other people being happy.

>B, give it another shot
Henry zones out as he drives, head aching from the lack of sleep and his resolute attempts to make sense of his mind. He wants to feel better fast, but he probably needs to be patient with this shadow therapy framing thing if he wants it to work. It’ll still be satisfying to give Dr. Machine a hard time about the failed camping suggestion at their next session.

>Extra strength car introspection
Nothing like sleep deprived rumination to really get the self-hatred pumping. Okay, what is it this time? He knows his urges to baby trap Jess are gross and morally wrong, which apparently doesn’t mean he’s gross and wrong according to Jung, and instead reflect his desire to be needed, which in turn is a hedge against the most hated beast, uncertainty about the potential pain of divorce. He’s pretty sure at this point that Jess doesn’t want a divorce, so he’s torturing himself to torture himself, hooray!

Look at him being the dysfunctional, dependent one in the relationship. A real shining beacon of modern masculinity. Again, he can’t really muster what he considers justified rage at Jess since the fox has been sooooo nice and normal even though part of Henry feels like he should. He can’t even blame Dr. Machine’s “male socialization to not be angry claim”, he just doesn’t have the will.

The impossible solution of not caring about any of this is so obvious it hurts. C’mon, get over it already, you’re seriously doing the same sad sack routine again? Booooring!

Henry finds himself parked in the driveway of his home. At least he can sleep in a soft, warm bed tonight. He shoulders his bags and walks into the unlocked townhouse.

To his surprise, Jess shoots up from where he was wiping the tile in the kitchen and runs to meet him with a big smile. “I missed you! How was camping?”

“Kind of rough, honestly. I had fun getting firewood but I think I’m getting too old to sleep on the ground. Back hurts.”

Jess noses around his torso and pits, collecting the remnants of dry sweat and wood smoke. “Mmm, you smell musky.”

“Yeah, I need a shower and probably a nap.” Henry sighs and moves to the closet to put away his gear.

“I could…join you in the shower?” Jess offers. He bites his lips and gives Henry a hopeful look.

A. Yeah (suggest how to sex)
B. Nah, too tired

B. Give head pats, say another day, been a looooong day, need sleep. Too sore right now.

if A chosen, probably just no sex, but would appreciate the company. maybe a massage instead.

A/B. Ask him to join you, but not for sex. You just want him to wash your back for you, and then lay with you in bed for a while. Maybe a massage if he's willing.

A. Let your partner breathe you in for a minute before it gets washed away. Let Jess lead. You're tired, maybe suggest Jess ride as you lay down in the tub.

>>1107390
We are feeling bad so lets just do this, perhaps the cruz of our issue is that Jess is "Acting" they dont communicate they just go along either controlling or controlled out of some competative spirit until they just break and do the polar opposite perhaps thats what has decided jess entire life path?

A/b

It'll be good to bend Jess over under the water and go in from behind. But this is also an intimate moment that doesn't and shouldn't just be about erotic play.

This is tricky, because you're trying to work through trust issues with her. It's understandable you might suspect she might be acting in a bid to deliberately manipulate you, but we don't have to give into these suspicions entirely. Act in good faith, and assume she's doing the same. While you're walking up and getting ready and washing up, talk to her about what you did on your trip and what she did while you were away. See if your missing her comes up in any capacity, and get a feel for what's been on her mind.

>A, but no sex
“I’m too tired to fuck, but you can come help me wash my back.” Henry says bluntly. He finishes putting away the tent and his bag, stashes his leftover snacks in the kitchen, and takes Jess’s offered hand before they head up the stairs to the big bathroom with a tub. Jess gently rubs his lower back and Henry can’t help tensing a little. It’s a stupid reaction, Jess isn’t acting in bad faith. Henry rolls his sore shoulders and tries to relax.

He peels off his smelly clothes and lets Jess get a good sniff of his bare chest before he moves into the shower. The fox strips and squeezes in to join him, squawking at the first spray of cold water and clinging to Henry’s front, hot fur and firm flesh.

If it’s a manipulation tactic, it’s working. Henry hugs his partner and dips his head into the warming stream to soak his fur. Sharing a shower is not an efficient way to get clean since it takes multiple minutes to make sure they’re both totally saturated, which puts another mark on the perpetual environmental guilt pile. Henry takes a seat in the tub and Jess puts a big glob of mild shampoo on his head and starts massaging it into a lather.

“The campsite was pretty busy. Lots of families and kids.” Henry mutters, barely audible above the water. “It kind of made me feel lonely, I dunno. Maybe I should have gone with someone.”

“Do you want to go again? I could come if Mahan or Victor can’t make it. It feels weird not to have you here on the weekend, I had to keep finding chores to do to stay busy.”

“Not anytime soon and probably not overnight, but sure.”

Jess’s grip has gotten a lot stronger since the last time Henry got a massage. It’s nice, especially as Jess adds more shampoo to his back and rubs the muscles on either side of his sensitive spine. He feels his eyes close and a soft haze of warmth and comfort quiets his overactive brain.

Eventually he has to resurface, rinse off, and towel himself as dry as possible. Henry doesn’t bother putting on clean clothes, instead flopping onto the bed for his nap. His fur is going to be a mess when he wakes up.

Jess lies down next to him, squirming closer until they’re side by side.
A. Big spoon for control
B. Little spoon for comfort

Next update May 9th.

B, if it will really be comfortable. If it'll get you thinking about dark things, then maybe stick with A.

B) Take comfort where you can

B!

>>1107447
Isn't A the more logical option here for his situation?

>>1107461
Depends on how you think about it.

Control is good because Henry feels very out of control.

Comfort is good because he's literally tormenting himself constantly.

In my opinion, he wants the comfort but needs the control, so I think he would probably choose big spoon even though little spoon would be tempting.

From a meta perspective, having him go little spoon would put him more in line with the plans we gave to Jess to help get him through this. Jess' current plans are entirely innocent, but there's potential for this to warp them into Jess deliberately fostering codependency in him later on if Henry gets too deep, which might be an interesting route or situation to explore.

Don't fight the hard on of it happens.

Henry self-consciously moves into standard big spoon position and Jess flips around so that the fox’s big ears are tucked on either side of his chin. He doesn’t want to just be a sponge for Jess’s good will, and this meager display of his former glory helps put his mind at ease enough to relax and rest.

>29 months after the wedding
For the record, Jess has never had food poisoning problems before despite the numerous dubious things she’s put in her holes, but eating one of Henry’s old camping hotdogs that had overnighted in his tent and then been forgotten in the fridge for a couple weeks wasn’t her best decision. Her sensitive nose even picked up some sourness, but instead of tossing the pack like a smart person, she gnawed on a tube of processed meat anyway in a fit of impulsive curiosity.

She retches into the toilet, caught between misery and fascination with her efficient digestive system, which wastes no time in making her vomit everything in her stomach and small intestine. Her gut rumbles. Probably some diarrhea in her future to clear out the other end.

A. Suffer alone
B. Ask Henry for support (he’s currently at work)
C. Ask Sophie or Terrence for support (they’re also probably at work)

B
Moral support and maybe some after work Tums, Pepto-Bismol or Pedialyte could help.

Jess could conceivably survive on water and ibuprofen until Henry gets home, but she doesn’t particularly feel like toughing it out. She’s always dealing with things on her own, she wants her husband’s attention and help!

She slithers down the side of the toilet until she’s resting on the cool tile, throat stinging. Not a good angle for texting, but she manages to send a somewhat coherent plea to Henry asking for him to come home bearing electrolyte drinks and Pepto-Bismol.

Nooooooooooooo…such harsh rejection in her time of need! Jess lets her phone slip out of her hands to clack against the floor. She had considered not texting Henry to avoid bothering him, but texting him and being rebuffed is even worse!

The roiling of her stomach must be messing with her normally cool brain because she’s pretty miffed. If Henry really wanted to come, she’s sure he would come. He must be sick of her shit.

Jess sniffles in self-pity and gets to her feet to go make some salty sugar water like Henry said to do. She alternates between the bathroom and bed in a stupor, wracked with bloat and nausea. It’s all she can do to not accidentally shit herself.

Finally, evening comes and she hears the front door open.

A

A) you did this to yourself, so go for pity

B. Henry has mentioned a few times that it bothers him how unbothered Jess seems about the crisis he forced them into, so I think it might actually make Henry feel a bit better to see Jess upset.

Don't get shouty angry or anything, just be pouty and disappointed with him.

>>1107882
A. And hey how about we don’t try to just go for sympathy but because we actually need some assistance?

A. Sociopath Powers activate!
Annoying that you have to use them when really hubby dearest should be taking care of you right now by default, but you can figure a way to be petty toward him later.
Unless he comes bearing thoughtful gifts.
If he brought gifts all will be forgiven.

A
He can spend an hour at least, making sure you're not going to shit the bed.

C) Claim you're pregnant

>>1107932

Whatever we end up doing, we should also do this.

A
You're still hurting, and you need the support. I don't think you'll have to stretch much to appear pathetic.

Maybe don't outright claim to be pregnant, but float the idea that it might be morning sickness. Might be worth doing a pregnancy test just to be sure.

>A, and claim to be pregnant
“Hennnnnryyyyyyy!” she wails. “Did you get some medicine? I’m not gonna make it much longer, I’ve lost all of my insides.”

Henry clomps up the stairs and comes into the bedroom to consider her prone form. His nose wrinkles at the stench of the well-used toilet. “You said you ate an old hotdog?”

“Maybe…or maybe I’m pregnant and suffering from morning sickness.”

Jess giggles at the look on Henry’s face, which hurts her stomach and drains her tiny reserves of energy. “Don’t worry babe! At this point I’ve shit the fetus out for sure, I’m totally empty.”

“Jess, can you not JOKE ABOUT THAT?” Henry roars.

He throws a box of Imodium on the bedside table so hard that it bounces off to land somewhere on the floor and storms back down the stairs Jess is surprised to hear the front door slam as the wolf abandons the townhouse entirely. He must be really mad to leave after just getting back from a long shift at work.

Jess rolls unsteadily to her feet and retrieves the medicine. She’s mostly empty at this point so she might as well take one to spare her intestinal lining. While she’s upright, she goes to refill her water, taking the stairs one slow step at a time down and one heroic heave at a time on the way up.

A pregnancy joke might have been in bad taste when Henry’s sore about the lack of future heirs, but she played it off with a poop abortion joke right after! That’s peak comedy!

Her stomach gurgles after she takes a long drink. After a quick bowel check on the smelly toilet, she crawls back into bed.

A. Text Henry and apologize
B. Text Sophie and complain
C. Text Terrence and ask for advice

C. It’s one thing to apologize, but if Jess doesn’t know what to apologize about, it wouldn’t be genuine. Might need advice to know what she did wrong first

A
Why the fuck did you do that

>>1107966
Oh shit, title drop

C) your inability to understand people having strong feelings about things is really hurting this relationship.

Do you even consider what you said was beyond fucked up? Any sort of regret at all?

Marriage is a two way street. Henry isn't perfect, but he's made his concessions on not having biological children after you tricked him into getting together with you, but even after that he's still trying to make things work, and so have you in some ways.

So really, what was the point of that joke? What went through your mind when you said it? Did you genuinely think it was funny to bring up that source of pain for him, play it for laughs? You think you can just make it up to him later by being cute and saying you're sorry?

You don't think that way though, do you? You know it and so does Henry. Casually and callously asking he don't kill himself as if it wouldn't even bother you that much, jerking off being your first thought after dumping the fact that you're a man to Henry, and now this joke about kids. He needs you, you don't need him, and you see him as something to hurt because that's what you enjoy.

C. Text Terrence, tell them what you did and see if they agree with you.

>>1107976
Yeah, at this point you're really right about all that. Jess has done nothing but take take take and still feels like a victim when the smallest problem comes up.

Oh.
...
Well it seems you've found the true sore spot that has been bothering Henry.
...Though perhaps jamming a salt and lime encrusted claw into tho wound wasn't the way to find out.
At least now you know now without a shadow of a doubt.

Would a kid- his kid, your kid, lift him out of this funk? Get you the old Henry back? Maybe.
You could tough out the pregnancy itself. Go back to fetishizing it and what not... It's what comes afterwards that would be most annoying. It causes permanent, or at least extremely difficult to undo, changes. Nothing really makes you physically more womanly than a pregnancy. It would be a real sacrifice and that's before the whole raising a kid thing.

In either case, you need to have a serious conversation with Henry about the topic but to do that you'll need to apologize first.

C. You're a bit sick-brained, and could use some advice from someone a bit less impaired.

C

I think an outside perspective might be helpful here. I think we do need to wind up at (A) sooner or later, but it might be good to ruminate a bit with someone else before touching on this sensitive topic again.

I think it is worth considering: how do you feel? Besides the physical nausea, I mean. Do you feel guilty? Or ashamed? Or just kind of frustrated and worried you might lose something important to you?

>She should really apologize
Instinctively, Jess feels an urge to make Henry less mad at her by begging forgiveness, but this seems like a case of ‘she should have known better’, and such a reactive apology might come across as hollow without proper thought behind it. Jess knows she has a tendency to act based on social cues rather than anything in her perverted heart, and the fox tries to think about where she went wrong.

Yes it was a sensitive subject, but that’s part of what makes it funny to Jess, like when she told Henry not to kill himself before camping solo. People, especially depressed husbands, really do like to go out in the wilderness and blow their brains out. Realism makes an ironic bit of black comedy feel relevant, gritty, and fun! These damn woke snowflake libs really can’t take a joke anymore.

>Would a kid fix all of this?
A conciliatory child would not be good for either of their psyches. Jess is smart enough to know not to bring a life into this world as a bargaining chip. That ship has sailed, so to speak.

>C, get an outside opinion
Jess is an expert rationalizer and a well-adjusted adult, there’s no winning against her mind in isolation. She needs to phone a friend to figure out how bad she actually fucked up.

Jess props herself up on her side and painstakingly messages Terrence. She’s so fatigued that she has to take a break between messages to muster willpower.

Jess: Terry my boy I am some kind of weird freak
Jess: I also have food poisoning I’m dying
Jess: The point is I made a morning sickness joke because I was throwing up and Henry got mad
Jess: Honestly I thought it was kind of funny but Henry’s been sore about life recently so I’m wondering if I went too far.
Jess: But like I’d do it again and I know there’s something wrong with me.
Jess: I’m not like other girls uwu
Jess: I guess I’m asking what do to not be mean to Henry even though sometimes I want to be mean to Henry because I am mean

TerTer: Is this part of your marriage trouble? I remember you mentioned it’s been a little rough recently
Jess: Yeah
TerTer: Hm…are you feeling okay? You must be really sick.
Jess: Eh it’s shitty but whatever. Asked Henry to come home early for work but he was busy so I’ve been handling it.

Oh right, she was kind of mad at Henry for that, but she wasn’t mad at him when she told the joke. It just kind of, came to the surface? It wasn’t like her outburst that started Henry’s depression, which came from a kind of desperation, this was an attempt to be funny.

Jess: Am I funny Ter?
TerTer: I think so, yeah. Sometimes you do go a bit overboard.
Jess: Henry’s never yelled at me like that before
Jess: He’s definitely going to feel guilty about it even though I pissed him off
Jess: But I’m not guilty for telling the joke in the first place
TerTer: If that’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. You’re not going to do it again, right?
Jess: Naw. I was going to text him that I’m sorry for bringing up kids when it’s a touchy topic.
TerTer: Give Henry some space, which should be easy when you’re bedridden. You can apologize when you see him in person.
Jess: Ok good idea. Thanks.

Henry should come back soon, or at least Jess hopes so. What does she do while she waits?
A. Talk to Terrence about recruiting a new DnD member
B. Talk to Terrence about gender
C. Talk to Terrence about hot kinky sex

B. It'd be nice to talk about it with someone other than Henry. With him, it's a sore spot and the source of your current troubles. To an outsider like Terrence, there's a lot more to it, and much of it is positive.

>>1108098
You forget the part where its was a misscarriage joke also shitting out the baby so you told half the joke

B) its the crux of the problem. Even if you don't think much of it Henry does. Get some perspective from your friend.

>B, guy talk
Jess hits the call button, sick of the massive effort it takes to text. “Hey fag, forget my sad marriage shit and the literal stream of shit coming out of my ass, how are you?”

“I’m fine, just finished dinner. Why’d you call?”

“Because I’m desperately lonely and bored. Let’s talk boy stuff. Since our campaign ended we haven’t had a chance to really examine the trans zeitgeist.”

She hears Terrence sigh. “Well if you’ve looked at the news recently, it hasn’t been great. I don’t really blame you for making the choice to stay closeted, even if Massachusetts is one of the better states to be trans.”

“It’s kinda mostly for Henry’s benefit.” Jess admits. “But I can’t straight up say that or it’ll send him to the brain pits. My shoulders are looking great though! I’m getting some visible lats from working out. You do anything fun lately?”

“There was a drag event at the club recently, and I’ve been volunteering a little at the new queer bookstore. They have a graphic novel book club and a cafe, it’s a great place to hang.”

Terrence pauses and Jess finds she doesn’t have the energy to respond.

“Jess…I know you’re making the best choices you can, but do you sometimes think you’d be happier without the stress of trying to please Henry?” Tess asks carefully.

“Oh, pffft, yeah, I mean I’ve considered divorce. It’s not what I want, even if it’s been kind of rough lately. We’ve talked about things, we’re still communicating fine, the sex has been slowing down but I’m not going to pressure him into anything.”

“You can communicate clearly with someone and still both be unhappy.”

“Yes Ter, I know. You’re someone who’s interested in kids, would you be offended if I said you pooped out your baby?”

“Um…is this some kind of mpreg reference? Like cis dudes giving birth out of their butts?”

“No this is the other part of the joke I made to Henry I forgot to mention. I said I shat out the imaginary fetus, y’know, because of the food poisoning.”

“Yeah, that’s gross and kind of too far man.”

“Damn.”

Jess feels an uncomfortable wet intestinal mucus fart building in her ass. “I gotta go sit on the toilet again, talk to you later.”

After a few more trips to the toilet, she gives up on waiting for Henry to come home and falls asleep.

>The next morning…
Jess wakes to the sound of Henry moving around their bedroom, getting ready for work. It doesn’t smell like he slept in the bed, so he either used the sofa or stayed the night somewhere else.

She’s going to apologize, but should she ask for something more?
A. Ask him to stay home today
B. Ask if he’s mad at her
C. Just say sorry

Big part of life is "suck it up be a man" and none absolutely ever caring about you if anything hapoens that sometimes involves family members but always the general public never caring about you as much as a girl just based on how crime is reported, hugs are less publically accepted and playing with a child at a park who is yours or a relatives gets negative attention.
actually what does it mean to be a man for you Jess? Is it mainly just the aesthetics?
>C first step of mending is the ability to admit or see from anothers perspective, you dont fully get why he is mad but you are sorry for the distress you caused, also you should know asking someone if they are mad often just makes them angrier from just experience

“Henry,” she croaks. “Sorry about what I said yesterday.”

He glances at her. It doesn’t look like he slept very well.

“I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I hope you feel better today” he says flatly.

“Thanks…”

Henry is gone by the time Jess drags herself out of bed to refill her homemade electrolyte drink and use the bathroom. She’s completely empty at this point, but her GI system seems to want to make extra sure it got everything so she stays collapsed on the mattress as the hours trickle by, resting and thoroughly bored. After a while she remembers the medicine and takes a pill in the hope she’ll have enough appetite to nibble some crackers later.

>What does it mean to be a man? Is it purely aesthetics?
Sure, it can be. For Jess the look and being perceived as a man are not the dominant drivers in her transness, which is why she’s okay with presenting as a woman. She would very much like to be perceived as a big muscular bear by greater society, but she’ll settle for just being out to her friends and Henry.

Things like compassion, honor, and integrity aren’t male exclusive and with the modern economy in the shape it is, being a provider isn’t either. No, the pivotal cultural norm that Jess internalized during childhood and teendom is that ultraviolence is the realm of men.

The electrical torture scene in 1984, most of Clockwork Orange, even Lord of the Flies, that stuff was basically yaoi to young Jess. Of course she doesn’t want to actually be starved and beaten and strapped to a table and forced to argue politics with Henry, it’s more the general power imbalance vibe is hot, from either end, although Jess is a touch more partial to the sadist side.

Not a lot of girlies breaking new ground in classic dystopian literature. Lots of excellent online original and fan works nowadays but Jess didn’t have proper internet access until she was fourteen and it took longer than that to start looking up specific porn.

What does being a man mean to you?

>>1108565
Being yelled at by other people.
Being told not to cry.
Being an emotional punching bag.
Getting blamed when shit goes wrong.
Getting accused of being angry 90% of the time.
Being told you smell.
People hyperfocusing on your shortcomings and ignoring your successes.

>>1108565
I'll tell you what it's not - making the life of your family worse because of your feelings and going back on things you promised. A man whose word is without value and who prioritizes his emotions over those of his family would be universally called a failure and a joke as a man.

In that regard, Jess has been more of a woman than ever.

Labels like man or woman are fine for personal identity, and whatever you want to ascribe them as to yourself. They used to mean something more back when day to day survival wasn't guaranteed, and even then the most notable people often broke those norms.

If you use them now to define what sort of values you should hold though, you do yourself a disservice. Don't let preconceived notions of man or woman define who you are, be an individual. Decide what is right and wrong for yourself.

Being a man doesn't mean much to me. Individual differences seem to trump any division between the sexes.

Anyone can be a man, if they think they are.

>>1108565
Just a scientific biological divide in the species for reproduction its not something you can really change just sculpt and cutt off parts to try looking like the other,trying to be as objective as possible so the whole "identify" thing is strange its illogical just people obsessing over things completely unrelated to the actual genitals/gender/Sex and them being terms mixed up so much basically none knows if its sex or gender, its just sexism in a diffrent package but more random, also often seems to be a thing where alot of people who hate themself just reinvent themself completely.
So what you crave is not masculinity but just power to enact violence over others i know how violence is the last true power in any agreement in nature that then any and all agreements where then further built upon in society for breaking laws either by shunning or retaliation.
So do you just want to be powerful and strong? More power then the social manipulation you can do when there is a goal in mind without feeling really bad as you are simply using there "free" will against them?.

As for me i objectively know my life situation would be better if i was the other so long as i live in a modern first world country, even if i like lifting heavy things, but like man or woman is just biology so using it as definitions for what values you should hold is just fucking weird pronounce are just redundant or annoying as it just ad a extra layer of complexity that dont exist, as individuality often trumps any imagined diffrences its not the fucking i dont know actually but past in time from what ever the current timeline is as women have pants and men have skirts so long as you are irish and your genitals are not having out around children.

>>1108585
>>1108590
But objectively this is true for subjective social things as its the social standard and the one least likely to care about men are women who are not your mother, its just natural from a sort of social darwinism from evolution men just have less reproductive value as it takes one man to repopulate, supply exceeds demand as it goes, and people who dont provide value by being attractive or having material things simply did not reproduce and died, or where killed by others that could for millions upon millions of years.


Actually so Jess whats your opinion on a more muscular Henry?

>>1108585
Basically this.
Unless I suffer from gender dysphoria (which I don't), anything that is outside of the physical manifestations of an assigned sex is basically societal construct.
Something that is more akin to a choice and which have been engraved into society either by happenstance, tendency or history, and which obsessing over is but a ceaseless cycle of trying to reach the unreachable because I blindsight myself into believing other people care much more than they actually do, and proceed to push them further away in the process.
I am me, and this suffice, society be damned with its subjective assignations of behavior.

>Being a man is suffering because of the way others use the societal construct of a man against them
Jess doesn’t have much personal experience with this phenomenon, but she thinks everyone has a great capacity for suffering and making others suffer.

>Being a man is thinking you’re a man, don’t let it guide values
Don’t worry, she’s a man as a side effect of her values and desires, not the other way around.

>What if Henry got even more buff?
Hubba hubba!

>Being a man is the opposite of what Jess has done by lying to Henry
It does still make her feel a little guilty…but she won’t do it again, and she’s really been trying to keep their life together afloat.

>Self confidence and self-assuredness are more important than trying to reach the unreachable
>Does Jess just want power? Could she have power and strength but not be a man?
A flicker of doubt crosses Jess’s mind. In the hypothetical scenario where she had absolute dominion over reality, would she be a guy? Well, she’d still have her mortal programming unless she did a personal lobotomy to become an unfeeling god-being, and she’s naturally drawn to masculinity.

If she goes all the way to the conclusion that gender doesn’t matter since nothing matters, then logically she’d be fine being a genderless slug, but that damn person lobe in her brain makes her care about society, and if she cares about society she’s going to be a guy since it gives her the least mental friction. There, another effortless victory against being a confused, deluded tomboy.

Satisfied by her mental efforts, Jess returns to being sick of being sick. She misses pissing…Back in the good old days, her body got rid of liquid through her urethra instead of her butt. Imagine.

The fox rolls over on the bed and checks her phone. Wait a second, there’s a text from Becca! Sweet salvation!

HotDog: Can we talk in-person sometime soon about what happened?

Well it’s about time that girl got over her self-hatred and rejoined polite society, it’s been months! Definitely a learning moment about not recruiting repressed religious ex-girlfriends for strings free sex, but Jess is wise and experienced now. She likes Becca, more so than ever during her entertainment lacking recovery.

She schedules an hour to meet with the pooch and get coffee in a few days, sans Henry. What should Jess say to Becca when they see each other?

>>1108756
>she’s really been trying to keep their life together afloat.
Why? What is your actual reason for keeping this clearly DOA relationship intact?
I know it's not love. You aren't capable of love.

Keep her wellbeing the focus, she's likely still hurt. Just be prepared for her to pin Henry in a bad light. Maybe she won't but be ready to explain he's not solely at fault.

>>1108757
If you go through with trans and dont have children of your own you can always manipulate BDog to be the surrogate, 2 dads 1 mom modern family

Gotta play it casual, don't spook her. Just ask how she's been, let her lead the conversation to start.

I agree, let Becca lead. She's the one reaching out, it behooves you to hear what she wants to talk about before introducing any of your own talking points. If small talk doesn't lead into meat of the subject, you can always prompt with, "So what did you want to talk about?" or "Was there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?"

Another thing to consider: it might be good to tell Henry that you're meeting Becca before you do. If he learns you've been talking to Becca without his knowledge, that's liable to further damage his fragile trust in you. Even if he says he should come, too, you don't have to let him; it's probably good to talk with Becca alone, "just the girls," particularly if she deliberately excluided him from the meeting. It might be good to tell Becca that Henry knows you're talking to her, too, just to be upfront and make sure everyone's on the same page. You can reassure Becca that she can still speak in confidence, if she needs to, and tell Henry that some of the things you talked to Becca about she asked you to keep private. The main thing you probably want to avoid is mentioning to Henry at some later point, "Oh, by the way, I've been talking with Becca." I imagine that might set him off.

>Why keep the relationship intact since Jess doesn’t seem capable of love?
Even if that were true, there are still plenty of practical reasons to stay married, like the townhouse, the tax benefits, and having at bare minimum a roommate Jess knows does his chores and has a job. She wasn’t the one who was wronged, so things feel emotionally okay on her end. Better than okay, being out to her smart, sexy, and respectful husband is awesome! No real reason to leave unless Henry wants to split.

>A few days later…
Jess’s food poisoning symptoms have mostly cleared up but she’s still fatigued and can barely hold a hover for a full minute. Right now, she and Henry are both home and she’s putting on a cute outfit to go see Becca while he stews on his computer.

>Tell Henry about the date
Jess pokes her head into the office. “Becca reached out a few days ago, honey, I’m going to go chat with her for an hour or so. I’ll be on my best behavior, scout's honor.”

Henry stiffens at the mention of Becca. “Why does she want to talk to you?”

“No idea, maybe she finds me demure and approachable. We were gal pals for while there.”

Best behavior means no suicide or pregnancy jokes, which includes teasing Becca about whether she wants to bear Henry’s child. Very sexy and terribly impractical given the current emotional and financial landscape of their lives.

The cafe is close enough that Jess braves the half an hour stroll in time to arrive early and order an iced mocha. She needs the caffeine–the fox already feels tired from a short walk.

The moment she spots Becca come through the door, she gives the pooch a merry wave. “Hey girl, over here!”

Becca might have gained a little weight since the last time they were together, it’s hard to tell when she’s in a modest blouse and skirt instead of her usual baggy clothes. The dog is also wearing a silver cross that rests above her round bosom.

>Play it casual
“So what did you want to talk about, sweetie? I don’t have to share anything with Henry, you have my full confidence.” Jess drains the last of her delicious mocha.

“Hi, yeah, well it’s been kind of rough but I’m doing a lot better now. I’ve healed through my relationship with God and His love.”

“That’s wonderful, I’m so glad.”

“I still have more work to do on myself but I’ve forgiven Henry, though I don’t really want to see him yet. I’m sorry to hear that you two have been having trouble, I hope I didn’t contribute to that.” Becca fiddles with her cross in a mirror of how she used to tug on her hoodie strings.

“Oh no dear, haha, that’s mostly my fault. It’ll work out one way or another.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?”

A. Explain transing one’s gender to Becca
B. Keep it private, talk about something else (suggest)

>>1108841
Let's keep being trans away from the recently religious over here.
Rather, let's movies. Has she seen anything good lately? Anything coming up look interesting?

A. You should start things off from an honest position with her. She's reaching out, and there's a chance that she's fallen into the dark part of Christianity that'll make her pull away at the idea of transexuality, but assuming the worst is no way to start rebuilding this friendship. You have to give her the chance to be respectful about it.

A.
Given that she took her Bible with her here, exposure to things outside the church seems pretty essential here for her. I worry that if you don't air this out now she may be unable to wrap her head around it in the future.

Intrusive thought: Since Becca is pretty much your polar opposite atm, the anti-you if you will, would you both just spontaneously cease to exist if you made out right now?
Only one way to find out.

>>1108850
Yeah, this.

A
Just stay casual and even toned. It's a simple truth about you. No insight or guidance about it needed. Having said that, it has put you at odds with Henry. You would like to fix things.

A) if thats a problem, then she isn't worth having anything to do with. Might as well find out now and save a lot of time.

She's definitely fallen into some form of brainwashing considering she starts off saying she's forgiven Henry despite him not doing anything to her.

Still, bringing that up is a bad idea. She'll won't take any criticism well, so just don't criticize anything directly. Go with A, Explain transing one’s gender to Becca. Be even and cool, even if she tries to bring up some "God's love" sort of shit. At the end of the day this is more for Henry, and it's probably going to be the only shot at repairing this relationship.

>>1108857
And part is if she is not ready to see him has she really forgiven him or is it that she has not forgiven herself

The dog was Methodist before, but it sounds like she’s become more pious since they last met as a coping mechanism. Whether that means she’s also become more socially conservative remains to be seen.

>Is that a bible under her arm?
It’s a poorly drawn clutch purse, which Becca has because her skirt doesn’t have pockets for her cards and phone. Strictly inferior to the magnificent hoodie front pouch.
>A, confess in caffeine fueled detail
Jess feels the mocha flowing into her brain, greasing her already lively mind into a machine that turns intrusive thoughts into oversharing.

“It’s a little bit of a long story, basically I’m transmasc and Henry isn’t attracted to men but we got along so well when we were dating that I thought it’d be a terrible waste if we didn’t get married so I detransitioned except I omitted the part where I’m still a man, and earlier this year about the same time you cut him off I told him the truth and he’s been feeling really lost and betrayed. Part of me is like, yeah, it’s a big deal to lie to someone so they marry you, but there’s basically no difference between what I’d be doing or how I’d look if he was cool with me being a man and femme when we got engaged, and like maybe it doesn’t have be a big deal? We’re legally together now and if he doesn’t want a divorce, might as well make the best of things. Anyway, there’s some other stuff mixed in, like not having children even though I thought I could give it a try, and then the whole thing with the finger–you know about Henry’s missing finger, right?”

Becca looks a bit overwhelmed. “Er, yes, he r-removed it for you?”

“Right, it was very romantic, but amputating yourself for someone who lied to you can create some nasty emotional feedback. Henry has the perfect mix of anxiety and modern liberal guilt to get brain stuck so we’ve been keeping our distance, as much as we can when we live together, y’know, and he still hasn’t figured out how to make himself feel better about me so he’s depressed. If he never figures it out he might have to take a page out of your book and go on a sabbatical.” Jess tips the empty mug to her snout to extract the last few drops of delicious coffee chocolate. “Move in with his parents or Victor or something, I don’t know. Anyway, I’m a trans queer faggot, always have been, will continue to be even if you’re not cool with it.”

It’s Jess’s turn to flinch when Becca places a gentle paw on her shoulder. “I’m not the best at comforting people, but even if you do bad things, God still loves all of His children. I can see that this has been bothering you a lot and I hope you can give yourself grace.”

“Oh yeah, I’m kind of an expert in giving myself grace. It is what it is and all that.” Jess snarks.

>Hand on shoulder? This is kind of spicy, maybe they should make out
Best behavior! All mental reinforcements to the frontlines of Jess on her best behavior!

“I still care for Henry even though I know seeing him would make me unhappy, which is why I want to keep my distance.” Becca says. “If this is anything like that then I’m sorry you’re suffering. When your loved ones are hurting, especially when it’s your fault, it can be really hard.”

A. Ask Becca if she really thinks the threesome fiasco was her fault (take accountability for seducing her)
B. Ask about Becca’s relationship with God (maybe church is fun)
C. Other (suggest)

A. You should really address that first, since she's probably been sitting on it for a while.

B) You're worried about both yourself and Becca. Is there any option to meet halfway? You feel like you live without faith in anything and she's living too deeply with faith and both options are becoming increasingly toxic to both of you.
Let the truth out.

C. tell her while you two are keeping your distances, you're still seeing him, and looking into ways to get closer to Henry, doing things like getting him some help through therapy (maybe Jess should join him in a session one day?) doing small activities with him like massages or visits to the beach. Important thing is that while you're currently both keeping your distances on the subject, you're not running from him, and actively communicating with him, looking for ways to make things work. Baby steps, y'know?

(The idea is to show that while you are suffering as Becca claims, you're not running from Henry like she was, perhaps seeing your tenacity to communicate and help Henry might inspire her to text Henry or something later. Don't tell her or accuse her of running tho.)

A. It's time to talk about what happened and take responsibility.

C

Ask why she was interested in talking to you even though she doesn't want to talk to Henry. If there was something specific she wanted to talk about, I don't think she's mentioned it, yet.

I remember Christianity always being important to Becca. She mentioned it the first time she showed up, hanging out with Henry and the guys.

Becca has poked at something forbidden and possibly painful in an entirely sincere way.

Gonna need you to roll a compartmentalization check to avoid damage to sociopathic mental framework.

>>1108946
Should we talk about how we have cultivated a enviroment spesifically so we basically get only hate sex kinky best possible hot sex, but still hate sex from antagonizing him in small ways that come naturally, the thoughts about henry as a roommate and how it actually if voiced would be the final straw on the camels back breaking his heart and soul potentially forever?

>Jess cultivated the current environment of hate sex and misery
She takes most of the credit for the misery, but Henry’s the one that initiated the hate sex.

>Vulnerability compartmentalization check (90%): Success
Eh, Becca didn’t say anything Jess didn’t already know. The fox was just kind of taken aback by the physical contact after the recent dry spell with Henry.

>C, with a pinch of A
Jess isn’t really interested in organized religion even though it’s clearly important to Becca. She’s not gonna be an annoying atheist about it or anything, but she’s also not planning to dive deeper into faith either.

“Thanks, I’m taking care of myself and making sure Henry still does fun stuff, like we went to the beach and saw a few movies. It’s not catastrophic, but yeah, not great.” Jess sighs when Becca removes her warm hand. “Is there anything special you wanted to tell me? Or was it mostly that you wanted me to pass along the message to Henry that you’re doing okay?”

“Yes, mostly that, thank you.” Becca readjusts herself in her seat and shoots an anxious glance at the cafe counter. “Should I order? I don’t want to be rude and stay without buying anything.”

“You should be fine, I got something and I don’t think we’ll be here much longer.” Jess stretches to get some of those caffeine jitters out. It’s kind of funny how little Becca seems to take her into consideration, former friends with benefits wise. Speaking of…

“Hey, I wanted to apologize to you too, I kind of used our friendship to get you involved with sex with me and Henry.”

>Becca caring avoidance check (70%): Failure
The dog frowns. “What do you mean? Henry was the one who had sex with me.”

“Well, you know, I kind of was trying to seduce you from the very beginning, when we met at the escape room. And I had sex with you too! Toys count, not everything has to be P in V, especially in the queer world.”

Maybe Jess shouldn’t have said that. Becca curls her lip and stands up from the table.

“Thank you for coming to meet me, but I don’t want to continue a fake friendship. I wish you and Henry the best.”

She heads for the exit. Okay, wow, that might be a burned bridge. Jess didn’t think she did anything particularly bad, did she? Everything she said was true…

A. Go home and talk to Henry
B. Run after Becca

...Eh, fuck it, we've been mature for enough consecutive choices.

B. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

You didn't say anything wrong really. Honestly, you and Henry never did anything wrong either. It was just sex. Didn't lie to her like you did to Henry, she knew what she was getting into.

Becca seemed alright at first, but she's so quick to burn bridges, not face her problems, and blame others. Doesn't care who she hurts doing that either. Kinda like you in how you don't care sometimes either, but at least you face your problems and have started being honest with yourself and others. You're trying.

I dunno. B. I guess just ask her if that's what she really wants to do. Don't spend that much effort on it, just make sure she knows of the decision she's making. If she walks away now, it's probably the last time she'll ever talk to you and Henry. If she's cool with that, so be it.

>>1109049
B. Run after Becca
>>1109051
Thing is her and henry are so similar they are extremely avoidant like she needs to be pushed to not drift away
