Yesterday in my local newspaper in the Dear Abby column the letter stated:
"I am a happily married heterosexual cross-dressing male. My wife understands and is supportive.
During the past week I have been caught unexpectedly by three different neighbors, and we are now in a state of panic. We're not sure what to do.
-Caught in a Panic"
In the morning at our breakfast table my wife gets first gab at the newspaper and Dear Abby is the first column she reads. I'm retired. So, I get to read the paper after I drive her to work, arrive home, get en femme and make my breakfast.
We're in a DADT marriage. That relationship did not skip a beat. My wife did not say a word while we were sitting at the breakfast table. There was no "look." There was absolutely nothing that would suggest she ever read the column, but, I know she did.
In your household, if this column appeared in your local paper, was there any discussion, any smirks, anything generated???
Dear Abby questioned whether being outed THREE times in one week as whether the husband "on some level you would like to be more open."
I think I must be in a real classic Don't Ask, Don't Tell Marriage!
