Hey there!
As Dez said, the best thing to do is to have a conversation with your partner. Let them know that you would like to stay in the relationship, that they have your full support as they figure out what they want to do from here, and that your love for them has not changed. Perhaps you can prepare a list of questions that you have, as I'm sure there are quite a few. Some of these could include what pronouns they would like to have used, if they would still like you to use those pronouns when talking to someone that does not know (you don't want to accidentally out them, after all!), and what you can do to be the best supporter possible for them. Keep in mind that your partner is probably scared and confused, so be respectful of the fact that they might not have all the answers you are looking for yet or that they might not be comfortable answering certain questions at this time.
Take care!

foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.
