    Shocked out of it but made a nice comeback

    Back in 1984 I separated from my first wife who detested my crossdressing and even purged my things for me. I was devastated at the loss of a beautiful wig and several nice tops, skirts, dresses, and shoes. Believe me, it was traumatic. But that was her justification to stay married. Fast forward--

    We did separate, I got a small apartment, and eventually divorced. I tried counseling to try to get rid of the CD demon in my head. But after awhile I slowly realized that I couldn't change who I am. You know they say you can't change the spots on a leopard.

    After being abstinent (and miserable) for a few months trying to be the model male, I finally gave in. It was a Saturday night that I went to a nearby city. I threw all caution to the wind. In a typical department store I bought a 3-pack of panties and a pair of pantyhose. In another specialty shop I bought a nightgown. The excuse was that these were for my (non-existant) girlfriend.

    When I got back I showered and shaved everything. And then I got dressed in my new things, comfortably watched some TV, and then went to bed. The most wonderful thing happened in the middle of the night. I woke up and sudenly realized what I was wearing. I wish I could describe the exhilirating feeling I had for a few minutes before falling back to sleep. It was heavenly!

    Eventually I started dating my second wife and things just got better every day! Long story short. I gave her a key to my apartment. One day I came home to find a beautiful pink robe laid out on my bed. I almost cried. She still surprises me after she goes shopping!

    Wonderful story about accepting who you are. Probably something a lot of us can relate to.

    Delightful story Cheryl - you have a wonderful wife...

    We definitely are a spotty lot as leopards go... not many plain leopards here, it seems...

    Thanks Angela! After I wrote that I realized a couple things. 1) We can be miserable living up to the expectations or perceived standards of those around us and not truly living our lives in a way that brings us true comfort and satisfaction. I still maintian the responsibilites of life's demands.

    2) Find the people who accept you the way you are. In this way some really nice loving things blossom. My wife knew before she married me. It's been bliss ever since even if we faced other life challenges. Her family and most of mine know about me. And it's not an issue for them. I do respect limits in many ways so as not to make them uncomfortable. My late father-in-law knew but still treated me well calling me his son.

    I suppose this is all a part of growing experience we all may have no matter what our age. The ride has been great!

    Thank you Katey! :-) Aside from leopards, collie dogs, beagles, and others wear unisex fur outfits. There's only one way to tell which team they're on. LOL!

    I can think of nothing better, nothing more satisfying, than unconditional love.
