20's, Marriage and Family

It being inevitable, a lot of dating will lead to a pregnancy sooner or later. At the age of 20, such was the case for our Gina. The lady in question was supportive of Gina, and assisted in makeup whenever it was girl's night out. They did decide to marry, but there was a condition. The child would be given up for adoption at birth as Gina and she were not considered mature enough or stable enough to raise a child.

Gina did not belabor that point, not knowing her fate if she had to tell a child about her, or otherwise become exposed, so to speak. When the child arrived, Gina had a daughter, but due to the constraint's never saw her. This also led her to vow not to have any more children in her life as she couldn't protect the one that was hers.

Gina continued to progress and grow, and help her wife become both a nurse and a model, which led to the end of marriage 1 in it's third year. The departure was amicable, and each took what they wanted, which wasn't a lot, and each agreed to pay for any of those things owed on. It worked well enough that later, Gina helped buy a car for her, which she did pay for on her own.

A lot of debt prevented Gina from having much, and she was forced to rent space out in her own apt. to make ends meet. It also curtailed Gina's life for a short span, until next marriage was to arrive on the scene, and HOW it was to arrive.

One of Gina's roomies persuaded her to take a chance on a blind date, to get out, and reluctantly, sa well as to relieve boredom, Gina agreed. THe girl was a first for Gina, as soon as she saw her, she knew the clothes wouldn't fit, and would have to go as well, they were so "tacky" in her eyes. However, on the positive side, the girl WAS a beautician, and this brought visions to light which were exciting to say the least. So, brighter prospects lay ahead, or so it seemed.

After a couple of double dates, they started to go out as just couples, and Gina advised that she had some news of great importance to reveal. This went well, and her lady was agreeable, so being Halloween was in two days, Gina said, "You will know what I have to say, then."

On Halloween, Gina donned the outfit which had won her first prize in a costume contest at her apt. complex. This WAS the early 70's. so transgendered folk were less known, and it was thought to be a costume. Anyway, she knocked on her lady's parent's door, just as a child was there, and all thought the child and her were together, until Gina said"No, I am here for B....." Everyone once again, complimnted Gina on her "costume" another victory sought and won! From there, they proceeded to Gina's father's to the same response. Daddy thought it a hoot being unsuspecting of Gina's nature.

From there, out they went for drinks to a local lounge, were Gina was NOT perceived as in a costume, but as the more approachable of two ladies out on ladies night. She was asked to dance several times, but having news to tell, she declined. She relayed her deepest thoughts and being in denial, admitted to being no more than a transvestite. No, she wasn't gay, or liked men, or was bi, in response to the "usual" questions of the time. After some discussion, and another lounge, they returned to Gina's where the agreement was sealed, so to speak. Now, realize, this girl, though NOT Gina's type, was helping sort out all the finances, and things from marriage one, which was NOT a done deal. Her parents felt she shouldn't date Gina, as she was still married, and had no intentions of divorce, nor marrying her. This was taken as a challenge and in a foolish macho move, Gina intended to prove them wrong.

Being Irish and Catholic, made it reasonable to expect, a proposal would be on St. Pat's day. A Catholic Wedding to follow. This led to her mother asking "Why do you want her" She's a pig" THis from her own mother. Challenge met, enemy, Floored! Now enters wife number one, who had tried to get Gina basck from time to time, and likewise, Gina had, but each time one was ready, the other was not. She now made a point of coming over and attempting to seduce Our herione right in the presence of her future bride. However, to prove a point, rather than take the one she preferred, Gina got her signature instead, and bade her farewell. And now gentle readers, Gina was to bloom once again from the ashes of disaster, being the rose she was, and not knowing just HOW MUCH more she really was.

As Gina's hair grew through this time, her new bride happily obliged with hair-do's, nails, and makeup, teaching our courageous darling how to further become all that she could, and then the wedding! Gina was instrumental in getting her bride down to a size twelve, and also selected the gown, which she yearned to be the one wering it. Alas, conventions and a catholic church would never allow it, naturally.
So, in private after, Gina exchanged vows with her again, while wearing the coveted gown, OOH YES!!

Things went well for a time, but a lack of desire to move after work, or do anything besides be a mattress for Gina at night, the glow subsided quickly, and for the first time, Gina's thoughts turned to affairs.
This was to become a reality through an unexpected source, the daughter of a club member of which Gina belonged at the time. It began innocently enough, with just some words exchanged, a kind offer of assistance here, a friend when required there. Soon, on trips, to discreetly hold hands, touch or just be close. Yet, she was "engaged" which was to be a different disaster, and a boost to Gina's possibilities to achieve that affair.

Marriage two, offering no rewards beyond the feminine needs was wallowing deeply into a whirlpool which had no end in sight. Gina stayed away more and more often, to the point, her spouse thought that to save her marriage, a pregnancy was the answer. Whoooaaaa!! Gina knew what plans were afoot, and had no intentions of inflicting the world with another unexpected waif. Since there was no discussion, there was no more activity of any kind, leading within two years more or less to another divorce. Again, a bloodles coup, so to speak. She left with what she arrived, only better off financially able to survive through good management, and established credit. During this time, the other had married, found out hers was gay, and hiding behind a wife for convenience, and living with mommie was too much, so that ended in record time.

Which also helped Gina attain solace in another arena, andcomfort someone else in need as well. But now had also arrived the moment of truth. Gina revealed all, assured her, no men were involved, and she put in an appearance unannounced to test the waters. A pleasant evening was spent, clothes and things were exchanged and modelled, and a happy resolution was at hand. Another agreement was sealed

Soon after the departure of the beloved bridal gown, The new lady was ensconced in Gina's life, no marriage this time for either of them. All went well, until another lady actually sensed what Gina was all about through being once again, friendly and assistful, it was found she was a beauty consultant for Fashion 220 which lit Gina's eyes up, "An even BETTER makeover" !!

She determined to cultivate this connection, and did so, strictly for the tips offered, and of course, she purchased ALL her caometics from her. This led the ensconced one to begin accusing our gentle soul of having an affair, not to be the last, but at this time, the one convenient. Now, except for her, no affairs had occured, ever. But having being accused, those affairs came, HOT, and heavy, not to mention, unsought. Leading to an end of the live in, but a continuation of the friendship, and an affair for years after into the next chapter!
Which begins at 31, or the eighties!
