Has anyone else dated a M2F Pre Op Transgenger , and not been told the truth until FAR into a intimate relationship?

I had a realtionship (over 6 months) with a man that did not divulge that he was Pre Op, on hormones. Transgender M2F, handsome,Harley rider, Gun Toting, Macho Man. I stumbled upon his ‘other life’ ,quite by accident. At first , he denied it, then confessed, saying he had gone through 3 years living as a woman ,taking hormones,but the transition was stopped before I met him,but he still dresses as a woman when alone. I stayed with him,trying to understand, but the deceit and untruths were too hard for me to handle. I felt manipulated & deceived in every way. there is NEVER an excuse for bringing someone you supposedly love into a long , intimate relationship, and not being truthful & forthright from very early on. I was devastated by the deceit, not the fact that he is transgender.
