Like many here, I have been dressing since my teens, at first completely in secret, then more recently revealing myself to a chosen few. I remarried about ten years ago and, beforehand, introduced my female self to my new wife. She was enthusiastic and bought clothes and shoes and helped with my makeup. She has never been one for gender stereotypes so I was delighted but not surprised. Again like many here, when dressed it is not just my appearance that changes. My personality, behaviour and physical capabilities change too.
The reason for this question is because neither of us has the wish nor the ability to play the traditional male role and my wife is at a loss what to do once I am dressed. She feels left out - not wanting to compete as a woman (she feels I am prettier and more feminine than she is) and certainly not wanting to be masculine in any way. I am worried about the future of our relationship.
It would be great to hear from both GGs and CDs about their thoughts and experiences.
