Sarah GG,
It depends on the person! I am certain you know a lot of people that you can walk up to and say "That outfit just doesn't look right on you!" and they would take the comment for what it was, an opinion.
Then there are other people that you wouldn't tell them anything because it would upset them for 3-5 days before they will talk to you about it.
Each of us that are in a relationship knows where along that continuum their partner is. In most cases fear and guilt make us move a little more cautiously than we probably should when it comes to this topic. Along with the fact that some of our loved ones may not be as open minded as we had thought when it comes to crossdressing.
It took my wife quite some time to wrap her head around the fact that I have this 'hobby?' for lack of a better word that didn't threaten our relationship. However, if she goes out with me for a 'Girl's Night Out', there won't be an intimate contact until morning, once I am back to 'male mode' and she has slept. Then a new day means a new beginning and we celebrate it!
She explains it as not being into girls! I can respect that! I'm not into guys! So it makes sense to me! After sleeping and recharging, Lisa is put away and life goes on!
If I would have said, "I crossdress, here's a bunch of information." I'd still be single!
But by talking about things and allowing her to come to grips with things at her pace, we have remained together for over 33 years of marriage.
It just comes down to committment to your relationship and how hard you are willing to fight to keep it going. If you don't start every day new and fresh and let your loved one KNOW that you love them and accept them for who they are, how can you ever expect them to reciprocate and do the same for you?
Enough soap boxing....
