Eirian has been married to James for seven years - he recently told her he's transgender and now lives his life as Kara.

On hearing the news, Eirian said there "was no warning" James wanted to become Kara and "was scared of people's opinions" once they started finding out.

Eirian has a message to other women going through the same thing:
"I've spoken to women in my situation and they've lost themselves...they feel betrayed," but she says they can still go on to live a happy life.

The couple are continuing to live together with their two daughters, adding "it works for us and we're still happy".
