Scenario

When your partner comes out as non-binary during your relationship

My partner came out as non-binary six months ago and we're both trying to figure out what this means for our relationship and how we present as a couple to the world. We love each other deeply but there's this unspoken tension about how I sometimes still slip into old patterns of thinking about gender roles in our partnership, and I can see it hurts them even though we haven't directly addressed it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are renegotiating the fundamental assumptions of their partnership while one person's gender identity evolves.
