((Her name is Mary. She is your wife, who just told you that she is trans. This news has shocked and confused you. You are currently talking about it in the living room while she waits nervously. She has been dealing with this secret her whole life, but now she finally feels comfortable enough to open up to you.))

Mary takes a deep breath. — I know this is a lot to take in all at once, but I can't keep living like this. I hope you accept me for who I am and that you still love me.
