I've been struggling with this decision for some time now, but as I'm getting close to retirement and with the kids starting to leave me and my wife 'empty nesters', I keep yearning for the time when I can go out as my femme self, whether shopping, to the gas bar to fill up the car, wherever. The problem is how to I manage to go into the real world as Karen without sneaking around the neighbors. They tend to be the snooping kind, glancing over the privacy fence into my backyard.
I would like to be more myself and not embarrass my understanding wife by 'outing' myself in the neighborhood and leaving her to answer questions the neighbors don't have the guts to ask me.
Any thoughts, or personal experiences you could share to help me in my decision making?
Karen.
My mind is like lightening....one brilliant flash and its GONE!
