My wife and I spent Sunday shopping for new fall clothes for her. It was still a thrill to pick through and select tops and pants and and skirts and shoes with full knowledge of what is in style this season. We went from Kohls to Macy's to Dillard's and even Nordstrom's Rack. When we were shopping for skirts, she as usual, resisted wanting to get a skirt.
After this full day of shopping we ate grilled steaks with plenty of wine and we decided to hang out at home and unwind with a little Food Network. I had my computer on and decided to show her this website. This is where it gets a little tricky.
She told me "I will not be the wife who dresses her husband." "That's fine" I told her, " I never asked you to anyway." She told me that she read the books I bought (My husband wears my clothes, and My Husband Betty), and she saw the WE TV program The Secret Lives of Women. Then came the silver bullet.
She reminded me that all day I kept asking her why she didn't like to wear skirts. She told me it was because of the fem clothes I wear. This threw me. All week long I've tried to put away any guilt associated with her not wanting to wear feminine clothing...because of my desire to wear them. Since then my dressing has been greatly diminished, panties only. I've been quiet and distant, trying to figure out how to get her to be OK with being more feminine and not loose who I am in the process? Sorry for the long Post, but I would love to hear your comments.
