I look at relationships from a perspective 90 degrees shifted from the above. Not from Good vs. Bad or how many problems there are in the relationship, or what is broken. It is just not black and white.
Relationships require work. Sometimes, for a period of time, you have to work harder. Sometimes, for a period of time, you have to work without the expectation of a reward, because you care. When both partners are prepared to work at it,
and if the chemistry is right, relationships can work in spite of adverse situations, backgrounds, preferences or pre-conditioning. Those in long term positive relationships have put the work in, and are prepared to put more in. Not hat it is all hard work, not by any means. But it is a vital component.
Until it is endorsed mutually as a positive aspect of a relationship, Crossdressing adds work - and a lot of work - to a relationship.
How much work is too much? Which straw breaks the camels back? That is for each individual to determine.
BTW, work does not just mean compromise. Work includes self-evaluation, effort in understanding, acceptance, consideration and a whole lot more.
Also, this is not directed at you. It is my
on one aspect of relationships that I see is often overlooked.
