    still married!!!!

    OK. I'm still married and we had the big discussion. The crossdressing is still an ongoing battle. She doesn't get it nver will and thinks the worst of it all.
    All she can picture is me flitting around in a dress. But really who cares we are still together and the discussion was good for both of us.
    We decided to take our relationship back to the beginning and start dating. Maybe it will help us.
    My actions on the most part that surned the big fight didn't even involve dressing but that still came into play. I will change my ways for sure on the aspects that didn't involve dressing. I was wrong. The dressing issues I told her I didn't think I could stop.
    She doesn't hate me for it but resents the fact that i didn't give her a chance to back out of the relationship if she wanted to. To late once the kids were about. She even said that if I had been honest and upfront in the beginning she may have even been supportive to an extent. My advice girls be honest early in the relationship cause it may be worth all the risks instead of being like me closing in on twenty years and still fighting with the cd issues.
    She told that she even visited this site a few times and found it a just pat on the back CD club. "Like my new shoes?" Kinda thing. I told her it's what you make it. If you want depth here start a new thread and make it meaningful. I tried to get her to join the GG section and told her of some the great wives I have met. Some supportive and some not.
    At the end of the day we are still together and even though she destroyed my very small stash(with my fave skirt) I still love her whole heartedly.
    We just have barriers to cross especially in the talking department.

    I love to hear good news, and this is indeed good news. Congratulations on still being married! I think in any relationship the communication is the hardest part. Good luck and thank you for the update.

    Sparks -- Glad to hear the good news. Just take it slowly and continually reassure her that you love her.

    Wife issue

    Its so hard - I'm glad she is still with you. I wonder what is worse - living with the fear tha now she knows she will leave me sooner or later or the guilt and fear of the closet ?

    Sparks,

    Great you have a chance.

    Let her see your fem side but always in drab.

    Tell her you love her every day
    Tell her you thought of her all day
    Mandatory date night once a week no exceptions. Just you & her.
    When she asks for something do it.
    Help with her day to day chores if you can.
    Be a good listener.
    Never yell no matter what.
    Express how you feel without blaming each other.

    Im no expert this is just what our counselor advised us to do when the D-word cameup last year.

    I went from no way Im not accepting to at all, to ok in the house only then no wig or nails, then ok with full dress, then no social activities on line to allowing me to reach out to the community on line, To no public exposure to OK if Tri-ess is what you have to do then just be careful.

    I gained her confidence & she realizes I am a better husband & person by dressing.

    Also going to 12 step program for transsexual pornography and being clean from that for 7 months didnt hurt either.


    I hope it all works out for you in the end. Take it slow let it expand on their time not yours.




    Hugz,

    Hi sparks

    Long time no see. I hope you work things out to both of your satisfaction. At least you have the dialogue happening.

    ...and my dear...your keynote in your post was:

    She even said that if I had been honest and upfront in the beginning she may have even been supportive to an extent. My advice girls be honest early in the relationship cause it may be worth all the risks instead of being like me closing in on twenty years and still fighting with the cd issues.

    You are talking, very important. She is becoming more comfortable and widening her range of acceptance, exceptionally good news. Good advice from especially Petra's points. Try to avoid the "Oh poor me" syndrome. The Willy Nelson song, "the little things I could have said or done..but you were always on my mind." Although some may dispute it, not all SOs can read our minds. all the best, w.

    My wife found my "things" last year. Its been tough since then but we are still together. There are the occasssional comments after one too many wines, but that is okay.

    I hate being in the closet, but I love my wife and family (and they love me as Tom)......so I will cope.

    But I do know that Brandi is a part of me.

    Thanks.

    I am very happy for you sparks, anytime a marriage can withstand upheaval like this is bound to be stronger in the long run. Your attitude is right on, I wish you and your SO all the best.
