Hello Everyone, I’m Shauna and just joined the site.
I have been married for 22 years and my wife knows. I slowly came out to her very slowly with simple things like wearing panties and thongs about 18 years ago. She actually liked how I looked and wearing panties became the norm for me. Then soon all I owned and wore were panties to the point that hers and mine were all mixed up. Then I slowly started to express myself more in my dressing, like wearing tights, really short shorts and long tight vests that I wore like a tube dress. We were all alone with no kids so I was able to wear all sorts of stuff at home. Then I got my first pair of heels, bras and slowly added more and more items of lingerie and other items over the years. It was a dream come true for me as I was always into feminine dressing since I was a teenager. The rest is history as they say.
While she is tolerating, she is not 100% supportive and or encouraging. At some point she did question my sexuality asking the usual question if I was gay. The internet helped her to realize more about the crossdressing lifestyle and that I was not crazy or alone, and the dressing spiced up our sex life. I’m not interested in living fulltime or transitioning, its too late for that now, but if I was 18 again in todays world, I probably would.
My wife does know that I’m itching to go out fully dressed for the first time and meet others socializing and more and I think she will support me if and when the first opportunity presents itself and she is in the mood.
The task I have at hand is to get her to that point of view of accepting that I want to dress more and go out. She does not know that I have an online life as Shauna.
Any suggestions?
