the wife is

[andrea lace]

I have not gone femme for about 6 months now and I am finding it hard and I long to be myself for a day or even an hour. It is extra hard today as my nearest and dearest is going through the wardrobe and having a sort out. I am in bed and having my morning coffee and she is pulling out my dresses and skirts blouses some of the stuff I have not had the chance to wear

Now my wife is brilliant she does not condemn what I do and only compliments me and my outfits. she is now pulling out my gorgeous black and white dress which was a charity shop find but still fab saying "this looks really nice" and all I want to wear it.

She has only one rule regarding my little my little habit and that is not to tell the kids. But tonight I am going to lock the door of my bedroom the hat is going on the door (that is a signal to the kids to Do not disturb) yes we did get the idea from the movie Meet the Fockers. For years now I have been hiding my hobby and it feels like it felt back then. My eldest has now left school and is always home although still in education.

I just thought I would rant to those who know how I am feeling arrrrrrrr so thanks for reading speak to you all again soon Andrea x

Hi Andrea, Oh my 6 months of a dry spell , It's like the saying goes Absence makes the grow fonder
I hope that you have a wonderful time.

[Raychel]

I feel for you Andrea, I have been thru those times, and they
certainly are not any fun. Times when the kids are home all the time.
and you are just wishing for an hour of alone time.

But enjoy the kids while you can, there will be plenty of time for you.
before you know it they will be grown and moved on and you will be wishing that they would call you.

My kids are older now and all still living at home, So it was time that I told them. They were all cool with it and
now have all met Raychel.

My wife's initial thought when I told her was the same, as log as the kids don't find out
years have past, the kids are older and now life is good.

You will get there in time, but for now enjoy your kids.

Welcome to my life only we don't have the hat idea, the kids just barge in, if if we put a dead bolt lock they will find a way in our bedroom. Here's my story, my daughter finished school is working full time and my son is a part time student and works part time, so someone is always home, there could be an hour here or there. Last night my wife went to a sale and got a two for one special, she bought a pair for herself and a pair for me. As much as it was flattering that she bought me a pair of ladies shoes I told her why she just didn't get herself a second pair because I don't know when I could wear them. I don't want my kids to leave I just need some private time, maybe there should be a hotel for crossdressers so we could let it all out for a day or two. The only thing that gives me a little piece of mind is that I do enjoy underdressing, I know it's not the same but I do love the feeling of the pantyhose or tights against my jeans when walking, and silkie panties always feels nice, and my wife gets a thrill knowing I am wearing women's clothing under, almost like our little secret. It's frustrating but there's nothing we can do, we just have to play with the hand we have been dealt with. Be patient and hopefully you will get more time for Anrea.

Andrea, was your wife taunting or teasing you? There must be some way to get out for a couple of hours. Just change in the car. You know, like the old days.

Actually, every hotel is a hotel for crossdressers. Maria, maybe you could swing a little two day business trip to a local motel. I know I love traveling. Both of me.

It's nice to hear that there's a general theme of protecting all of your children's development by not exposing them to a complicated issue until they are older. My daughter is 27 and fairly liberal and would have no problem with knowing Carla. I just haven't mustered up the courage to tell her yet.

[Launa]

I'm in the same boat as you so I have to get out of the house 1 - 2 times a month and cut loose that way. There are hotels out there, thousands of them to choose from!LOL

[Beverley Sims]

Yeah! put the hat on the door and go to fantasy land. :)
Have a good night.

It is rare for me to go that long without getting my Girlie on, but when I get those dry spells, I can remember the fun I had, the outfits I own, and the feeling I get by looking at all the pictures I took at past outings!
I usually take a lot of pictures during those times, it helps with the withdrawls I have after the event is over.
Hope you "get your girlie" on soon, and don't forget the camera!

[sweetshauna]

ya, I hate the dry spells. no matter how short, they pass agonizingly slow. Carla is right. all hotels are for CDs. Go to one and give Andrea I little fresh air.

Although my wife and I have always agreed that the kids must never know and always seem to be under our feet these days it doesn't stop me from getting to the point where I have to dress. When it gets to this stage I suddenly feel tired early, around 8.30 or 9.00 and steal a mini dress up session on my own. Sometimes a bit of a surprise for my wife when she comes to bed and there I am fast asleep in one of her best silky nighties. it does, however, help to fulfil the need. a bit is better than none at all.
