Sorry for what is essentially a vent. I’m feeling kind of depressed and need to get it off of my chest. :sad:
Last Friday I made an appointment at a local salon recommended to me by one of my girl friends to look at some new wigs. I dressed, headed over, and had an absolutely wonderful appointment with a very lovely woman who owns the salon. She helped me select a couple of wigs and one that I will probably buy the next time I stop by. Chatting with her was as fun as trying on wigs.
Saturday I attended my TG group’s monthly social. I got to dress up again and wear my new “hair.” I just love chatting with my friends and meeting new girls too. Basically a very pleasant evening spent with good food, good wine, and nice conversation. To top everything off, it was my birthday and I got a cupcake and a lovely card. This really touched me deeply. In a way I really consider it a BIRTH-day as I have finally found a place where I can be myself with sisters who “get” it and “get” me. A very nice time but here is where things turn.
The event wrapped up and some of my friends were going to stop by a friendly bar for a drink. While I really wanted to go, I had to decline. I started feeling kind of envious at their ability to just go. My wife had helped me get out of the house and was expecting me home. Home I went. After changing, I wanted to tell her what a nice evening I had. The problem is that at this stage of the game we are at what I call a DADT Plus. With our kids out of school there is no privacy. My wife helps run interference to give me some privacy to get ready and to get out of the house. She has also given me some clothing in the past but doesn’t want to see me dressed or get too into the details. So other than “thanks for taking the kids and I had a great time” that was the conversation.
Since then, I’ve been feeling like a bratty kid. I REALLY am grateful for having a wife that is willing to give me this much. I do love her dearly. However, on another level I am feeling bad that this has to be such a big deal. That I can’t just dress when I like and come and go like my friends. I want to be able to freely talk about this with her without worrying that I am pushing things. Yeah, I know I am being unreasonable but I feel the way I feel and it is making me sad. Instead of being appreciative for two very nice days en femme, I am sulking around because I don’t know when the next time I am going to be able to dress is, pouting because my girl friends get to go out and I don’t. I don't normally act or feel like this and that is adding to my bad feelings.
Bottom line is that instead of enjoying my family I find myself wasting time resenting the lack of freedom and instead of savoring my two days of fun I am souring the memory with thoughts of what I want to do next. Basically I am being an ass and need to snap out of it. I think posting this will help but I always appreciate words of wisdom from you. Thanks.
