Acceptance

[Kali]

My SO has always been supportive and accepting of this part of me, but deep down I always felt like she was just "putting up" with me and my feelings about this despite the fact hat she has never said anything negative about dressing. All she has ever asked for is that I maintain a sense of balance and be the man she fell in love with when she needs me to be that man.

I've always been waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop; I've never been a person to whom good things happened or lasted very long. My SO is the best thing that has ever happened in my life and we've been together 8 years and are getting married in July. But I've still always had that feeling of imminent doom lurking in the back of my mind.

She came back from a business trip recently and told me she had a present for me. She usually brings back little tacky gift shop things or t-shirts, nevr anything serious.

But this time she handed me a small box and when I opened it, there was a ring engraved with the female name she picked for me (from these people http://ringmaster.biz/). She asked me to wear it all the time, regardless of how I was dressed.

For the first time, I really felt complete. I just cried.

That is really cool! I would have probably done the same thing if my wife gave me something like that. You are truely lucky to have someone like that.

[TGMarla]

That is a very special gift. Cherish this woman!

[raymondparsley56]

Acceptance is a beautuful word for us. I'm sure you had accepted yourself long before she gave you the ring. She recognozied that. Love it!

[kimdl93]

That was really sweet. I'm so glad that the two of you have reached such a happy place in your lives!

[LisaM]

You are a very lucky! Your SO is completely awesome, so quit worrying....

[Kali]

... quit worrying....

I'm Jewish; I don't think that is actually possible ;)

[Gerrijerry]

no one can tell you the real future. But trust in the one you love does make life easier no matter what happens. Trust is also sharing the truth and truth is not always what we want to hear. People change and that change can effect others. Be honest with yourself and her. Then you can both deside what is correct for both of you. To be together or not. Some SO's will stay with there husbands even after srs. some would not even accept the simplest form of femine attire on a male. Life is strange and scary. But it can be a wonderful trip for both of you when there is love trust and understand.

[stevena]

Kali too funny. I'm Jewish too, so I know what you mean! I am the SO of a wondeful CD'r, so as an SO I say quit worrying! LOL Your SO sounds absolutely wonderful!

That is so wonderful. Amazing how those little random acts of love and kindness are really so huge.

[JeanneF]

That is awesome. It's a huge sign that she's comfortable with who you are for her to buy you a gift that encourages your girl side.

[RACH99]

That is so sweet. I hope your marriage will be a long one and you'll always be as happy as you are today. :gh:

[Joan Lea]

Very nice...I bet every girl on this site would love to have that happen to them. Myself included.

[Raychel]

Isn't it funny how one simple gesture can make your life feel so much more complete. And this could be a $2.00 ring, but it is the though that counts and the fact that she had a Fem name on it for you. Well that just goes over the top.
