Hi my name is Jade :)
I’ve just joined this group, so I thought that I better introduce my self.
I’m 45 male CD’er who is married with a great wife and teenage children.
The big problem is that no-one knows about the dressing. I feel that after 25 years of marriage that I can no longer hide this secret form someone I love so much, so I am starting down the path to telling her about the other self.
A couple of years ago, I had a minor operation and found that after I left hospital the “need” to dress had completely gone. After 6 months I tried getting dressed and nothing, it was as if Jade had left forever. Thinking I was “cured” I did the big purge and got rid of everything. Six months after that the need was still gone.
THEN…. 14 months after I came out of hospital ….. It returned…This time it was as strong, if not stronger than before and Jade was back. Talk about conflict of the mind. :eek:
So I have put limits on myself and have made the decision that before I go back to the same levels as before I have to tell my wife. For support I have joined the local CD club and have been to my first meeting, but I went in my male clothes. All the girls there are great.
I’m slowly gathering information and getting myself ready for that talk. When I am still not sure….
What I like about this web group is the variety of posting that you girls talk about. I look forward to participating…
