Well, last Friday, for the first time, I decided to dress in front of my wife. I had a drink to get some courage and then told her I would be back; I feel like dressing.
Now, you have to understand that I told her about my CD tendencies about six months ago. After the initial shock and the questions we all expect, she said she was good with it. Over the next six months we had a lot happening so, except for her occasional joking about it and my Fathers Day pedicure with nail polish (dark cherry red), we just kept it as something we both know about me. She knows I dress whenever I go on a business trip and stay overnight.
Anyway, back to last Friday. So I dress fully (no makeup, still have my beard and bald head) and she laughs when she first sees me. I had braced myself for this so I didn't say anything. Then she said that the outfit made her laugh because I was wearing a casual camisole with nothing over it, a casual skirt and thigh highs and pumps. She said it was like I didn't know whether to dress up or not.
It was a nice evening. I cooked dinner and we went out on the deck with our wine. This surprised me because she suggested it even though she knew there was a chance one of our neighbors could see me.
We were out there about an hour till it got dark. Then we decided to go inside and watch a movie. So far, a very nice evening. Now comes the question.
We always sit on the same sides of the couch when we watch TV. Her on her side and me on my side. But when we went in, she sat on my side and asked me to sit on her side. She said she just felt like sitting there that night. I didn't argue about it.
But the next day, this did bring up a question in my mind. Was there more to that switching sides on the couch than she just felt like sitting there? Or am I overthinking this?
She doesn't appear to have changed her attitude about my girl clothes or lingerie. She has mentioned a couple of things as she usually does since that night. But she has not let me know one way or another how she felt about me being fully dressed and hanging out with her. That night, she did say she "wasn't there yet" about being intimate with me while I am dressed.
Maybe I am overthinking this. Anyway, I think the ball's in her court to say something, but I probably will not dress in front of her again soon.
