By now many of you know what has happened so here is the blow by blow. Well, the day started out like any other day, almost. Had to go over to the Ohio River to inspect a piece of property the company owned. Since I wasn’t meeting anyone I figured Karren could go and do a little shopping enfem on the way home. And it would be kind of cool for Karren to earn a paycheck!! Left the house and changed at a nearby rest area. Felt very comfortable and drove to Ohio and to the site. Stopped along the way and took some phots of Karren in front of a river lock and dam. Took some photos of the property and of Karren at the property. Everything was going smoothly. Then at 10:05 AM I received a call from the wife. I talk to her many times during the day so no big deal to talk to her even though I was enfem.
I said Hi and she asked what are these womens clothes doing under your suits in you wardrobe? I paused trying to think of something else to say but the obvious. But I couldn’t so I said “I like to crossdress and have been doing it since I was 8.” BOOM!!! She started crying hysterically. She started sobbing and saying she could take it any more and that she was going to leave!! I told her that I loved her over and over and that she couldn’t leave. This went on for what seemed like an eternity! She was calming down as we talked and I said I’m coming home. She said No, don’t come home, you have a lot of work to do! She asked about how often I dresses and I told her every week or so. And where did I get my clothes and I told her the local discount store, on sale. Said I was a frugal shopper and she said “I don’t want to hear about it”. No cence of humor, like I would expect her to have one!! She asked where I hid them and I told her in the garage. We finally hung-up and all I could think about was what was going to happen next!
So I drove back to the rest area and changed back, then drove to work. It was lunch so I called her and we talked about CDing. She had done some research on the web and said that she doubted that I could stop, and that it was my Mother and Grand Mothers fault! Bingo, the Hutton curse, a long line of male hatters, even affected my sister. So she expressed her concern about anyone finding out and me loosing my job and us having to move away. And the kids and our son in particular. I said that we shouldn’t tell anyone! She agreed. She did notice that I had changed over the last year and put 2 and 2 together. After the phone conversation I went back to working though it was difficult. Left for home at 5:00pm.
Got home and figured that “Here we go”! But the son was home and everything appeared normal! When I went into the bedroom there was Karren’s clothes that she had found (a couple skirts and some shoes and a top), neatly folded and in plastic bags! Thought they would be thrown away, or shreaded (along with me)! So I took them back to the garage. I know she knew that I took them, nothing! The son had marching band practice at 8pm so I figured that ok, NOW, here we go! NOTHING! We talked about day-to-day things, together we took the dog for a long walk and went to watch the son practice! NOTHING!!!!
The next morning, more normality! And at lunch we talked and she wanted to buy a pool table and we discussed adding on to the house!! On the way home I bought her some flowers and gave them to her when I got home! She did say that she was still copping and having heart problems. A minor increase in her medication seemed to be helping. I told her that I understood! The rest of the evening was normal as was Thursday, Friday, and today, Saturday!!
Now I know there will be questions but I’m not pushing her on this. It’s her speed that is setting the pace. The family is now my number one priority, everything else is secondary!! I have been working harder to be more involved in the families daily events. And working hard to complete the construction projects I have going on. So, Karren is on vacation at home. Most of her things have been moved off site! May still dress on business trips but will decide that later. Thanks to all that have IMed, PMed, and emailed me. Special thanks to Emily, Lauren, Dana, Darla, Rachael, and Haley for their continued attention. Don’t think I could have held up with out them and everyone! Also thanks to a couple local Pittsurgh non-members, Bill the ex-cd lawyer and Amy, my dressing buddy. Stay tuned, more to come I’m sure.
Love
Karren
