I had a talk with my CDing friend today and it's looking like he wants to stop dressing?
Quick history, he's dressed secretly since he was a kid ( worn his GFs clothes and stockings, the usual). His long term GF of 20 years doesn't know and would not be ok with it. We are only friends but he told me about it a few months ago and we sort of found our way through the pink fog together and it was a blast! I shopped and bought him what HE liked and we talked til all hours about everything from fashion to family. He has dressed for me really only one time and I think it was a traumatic thing, he really changed after that day. I know he had a great time, maybe too great and I'm sure about that because of the conversations we've had about that day. I'm sure he feels guilty he can't tell is GF and it probably feels more like cheating that he trusts me with it and I understand all of that.
So today he said he doesn't want to come over again he just can't do this anymore, he just can't. He said he only likes to dress once in a while anyway so not a big deal. I don't think that's the truth and I told him so. I asked if his GF found out thinking maybe she suspected and he was worried but he said no. He still wants to talk on the phone or text which is perfectly fine with me, we can still talk about other stuff.
He has a pretty strong will I must say so maybe he can pull it off? But is this really even possible!? I know he's dressed alone for YEARS but now that you have someone to share it with and to talk to about it is it that easy to go back to the closet so to speak? Could he really just want to give it all up, is that why everyone purges? ( Luckily I have the clothes and I'm not throwing them out! LOL)
What do you think? Just hang back like I've been doing this last month? Let him work things out in his head? Could he possibly not want to dress out in the open again? Could a purge ever be for good or does it always come back?
Any advice??
