one way to lessen any pressure on yourself, is for him to tell is own journey? i also like what firie wrote! 
i've been talking to someone recently, a great and accepting sort of guy- bio, but not about my ex and the process of his transition- though the topic may eventually surface, it's a discussion first between them; i'm pretty sure raised eyebrows won't be an issue, but if i see any, i'll get over it- or he will.

It's an ever precarious journey though, is it not?
