Play tme after a long time

My wife it's taking a trip to California next month to see the grand daughter. I came out to her about my cd only a few weeks ago, and though it was tough at first, she's starting to accept it, if not really understand it. We were talking about the trip, I was telling her how much I would miss her, I can't get away from work, when she told me a few days alone would give me time to do what I do. That was great since that meant I can start to get my makeup and clothes back together . I trashed everything when we were dating about four years ago, and since then all I've been able to do is wear lipstick. She's not ready to participate yet, and may never be but it's a start.

It is always good to have some femme time, no matter what the reason. Since you "trashed everything" you may need to replace some feminine items before your wife's trip. Think about what you'd like to wear and go to a thrift store to rebuild your wardrobe. This can also give you a chance to see (feel) what makes you comfortable. Take your "time to do what you want" and enjoy.

Rick, keep the conversation going. That will be your long term fix. She may never "like" it, but being able to talk about cross dressing will help you both. By the way, ask her if you can borrow or try on some of her things (I assume you have none of your own) and show her which clothes in her closet, before she goes. She may be sensitive to you wearing some things vs others. Most women worry about their things being stretched out. Something we tend to not think about. This will further the conversation, show her that you respect her wishes and keep you out of the dog house upon her return.

Good luck

Before our daughter moved from the mid west back home my wife made an annual trip for 7-10 days. That enabled me to hang my dresses in the closet, line my heels up, and, totally enjoy being 24/7. I was able to take evening strolls. It was great. Have fun.

Accept freedom in little bits and do things gradually.
This way you will gain acceptance better.
