3 years ago when I told my wife about my cd'ing, I had no idea what would happen but knew that I had to tell her the truth. We have been separated for most of that time and I thought the last sentence had already been written on her acceptance. Was I ever wrong! A few weeks ago she agreed to go the halloween party my group was having last night. She helped me pick out my costume. She helped me buy my eye makeup and false eyelashes. She even loaned me a purse, earrings, bracelet, and necklace for my costume. I thought up until the last moment that she would back out because it meant seeing me dressed for the first time.
Well last night it happened. Daenna Pez and I went to dinner at Red Robin and were waiting on my wife to join us there. I had picked Red Robin to help my wife with the first time she saw me dressed but it didn't work as planned. My wife wouldn't come in because she felt odd coming in there in costume. So we hurriedly finished eating and went to the car where she was waiting. As I approached, she looked long and hard. It was the first time she had seen me completely dressed and she was shocked. She went with us back to the house for us to change into our costumes. So there she is with 2 cd'ers and she didn't chicken out.
When we got to the party she was taking everything in as she saw about 50 CD/TS. It was an experience that she didn't know what to think. She adjusted and accepted the situation like a trooper. She made friends in the group and has now agreed to go with me to a support group. Things have changed so much in just a few weeks.
P.S. My divorce is now on hold. Cd'ing wasn't our problem with the marriage but so much progress has been made that it is prudent to hold up to see if the real issues can be worked out as miraculously as her accepting my cd'ing.
