Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No. The driver is still into women, but is realising that they prefer to present as mostly male, despite whatever their biology might be.

In oversimplified terms, you could say they're a straight man in a biologically female body.

The implication is that when they were dating and married, driver was presenting as more female or androgynous, and non-driver, presumably, has a preference for that.

However, it's not really that preference that's causing the real rift - if you love someone, you love someone - it's the desire for kids. Driver doesn't want them. Non-driver does.

They're both able to deal with this like adults. Win-win-win. (Third win is the eventual kid(s) who might get to have a cool uncle rather than a grumpy, distant dad. Assuming "uncle" and "dad" are terms driver would use anyway.)

Thanks for the detailed breakdown!

It actually says they want to date all genders, so pansexual/omnisexual rather than straight.
