Some of you sound like children

[Ericka2]

Why is it that lots of cd's seem to be afraid of their so's? They hide things, they wait until their's so's are "out of town" to get dressed up around the house? You all sound like a teenager hiding their dirty magazine make sure your mom don't catch you...sounds so ridiculous !:brolleyes:

Because Ericka, many SOs act like teenagers themselves. Too many act like it is the end of the world if their spouse turns out to be a cder. Search the net for wives dealing with crossdressers (thankfully a large number of said sites say it is no reason for break ups).

I do think this would all go away if one day every single cd put on their best look and went out the door for work or what ever. But that day sadly may never arrive.

My wife acted like it was the end of the world when I told her....she thought that she had did something wrong. That still haunts me to this day but slowly we are learning about it and being adult about it.

In my situation, at least, my SO knows of my CD'ing and I do dress at home and go out occasionally so you might say she is partially accepting. But according to her way of thinking CD'ing is worse than any crime that can be committed against humanity. She's deathly afraid that her world (friends and family) will totally collapse should they find out. My point is.....you don't stay in a 41 year marriage by shooting from the hip, one learns to respect the others wishes. And, yes, sometimes that means hiding things or, better yet, not revealing everything. Hugs, Becky

Mayby it's as ridiculous as the people who blot out their eyes on their avitar's ? This sounds like a case of 'people who live in glass house's should'nt throw stones"

Using terms like 'you all' makes it sound as if you have had nothing to hide. Think back to your post when you said you "hid for 15 years prior to your divorce". Thats what a lot of people go through here. Just like a child you did'nt learn the value of openness and honesty until you grew up.

I'm really glad you do not hide anymore, but it would be nice to encourage members instead of comparing crosdressing to hiding dirty magazines.

Right on Ericka2. You tell em the way it is. Mind you you may get yelled at by a whole bunch of members because you may upset their little make believe world.

And another thread closed!

<edit> Reason for closing the thread, for someone to black out their eyes in an avatar and then tell others they are being childish for not telling their SO's etc, pot, kettle, black... nuff said... :rolleyes:
