Just told my wife - good news!

[Jesse Six]

Shameless self-promotional post, but I'm really excited and gotta share: I finally got up the courage to spill the goods to my wife. :eek:

Her response? "Shopping!"

It went better than I imagined. She wasn't put off by it at all, and seemed excited. Did I mention shopping is her preferred sport? Surprised me by asking "are you interested in having sex as a woman?" :o Whoa, well, *ahem* wasn't planning on it, but gee you sound enthusiastic... let's walk before we run.

So relieved. Lol she sounds more confident about it than I am!
I can shave my legs now! :D

[Shellycd12]

Wow. I am so happy for you.
You have an amazing wife.

Shelly

[RADER]

My wife was OK with me dressing; but your wife seems to good to be true.
Just go slowly to make sure everything is as good as it seems.
You do have an amazing wife, take good care of her.

Sometimes thing turn out better than we think they will. Have fun with it.

[Keri L]

Good for you, Jesse! Won't it be nice not to have to skulk around and hide this part of you?

Cate

[Bree Wagner]

That's a fabulous reaction, there are many who will be envious! ;) Have fun with it and I hope the two of you have many wonderful adventures to share.

-Bree

[Christen]

Well, you're a lucky thing!!

[Patty F]

Very happy for you, enjoy.

[heatherdress]

Great Jesse. Good for you and your wife.

[Vanessa Rose]

Jesse,

Firstly, congrats. Take it easy on her girl and don't have sisters that are bigger than hers (wink).

I can't wait to hear more about your new journey together.

Vanny

[Rachelakld]

Well that's good news, maybe an appointment for two to have a leg wax, see who screams the most :)

[Jesse Six]

Hi Rader,
Yeah, I know what you mean, I wondered if she might be putting on some bravado. I did probe how she felt about it, if she might have misgivings about seeing me dressed, etc. Her responses, if anything, sounded like she was trying to put me at ease, it seemed sweet.

One of her childhood friends transitioned FtM a few years back, and we keep in regular touch with him, so we're not really strangers to gender questions. Of course this was different - hey, I'm the guy she married.

The next mental hurdle will be letting her see me in makeup. While still somewhat basic, IMHO, I look better with it than without...

[Greenie]

Well thats good news! We always like to hear when positive things happen in relationships! :)

[mandysmiles]

Nice! Enjoy the weight being lifted. It's sounds like you're going to get lots of fun!

[ChristinaK]

Every married CD'ers dream! I'll bet the pink fog is thick right now! Good for you, have fun and hug her tightly.

[Caden Lane]

Congrats to both of you. I hope this reveal is everything you need it to be.

[Mistyjo]

Congrats Jesse
When i told my wife about my crossdressing she was very excited as well and the first time she seen me fully dressed i ask her to do my makeup for me and that opened a lot more doors for us

[Tina B.]

Beware, when I told my wife she reacted a lot like yours, that was about 37 years ago, she took me shopping that very day. Believe me when I tell you, being married to an enabler can cost you a fortune, we both like to shop for Tina. It's a lot of fun, but somebody needs to hold the purse when the fog (pink of course) rolls in.

[bridget thronton]

Sounds like a good start

[suzy1]

Someone has just hit the jackpot and won the lottery all at the same time then!:)

[Helen Grandeis]

You are sooo lucky. This is CD heaven to have a fully supportive and Encouraging wife! Sex while dressed in way more intensely powerful than even Viagra.

[Katey888]

Bingo! :cheer:

You lucky, lucky individual! :D

Wonderful for you - I'm sure you'll make the most of it.... :devil:

Katey x

[PaulaQ]

Congratulations hon, you have won the lottery!

[pretty boy]

That's great news! She's definitely a keeper.

[ringedjohn]

You lucky man.

[Marcelle]

Hi Sweetie,

CONGRATS . . . I can feel that weight being lifted off your shoulders. I am glad to hear she has been very receptive but I would add "go slow" don't rush down to the finish line in one day. As well, now that the secret is out be open with her on everything CDing and I do mean everything. It is no good to think you are going one direction and she is thinking the other. My wife and I are in a similar place as you and your lovely wife but we still spend one day a week discussing Isha and all things Isha . . . it avoids miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Again CONGRATS and enjoy SHOPPING.

Hugs

Isha

[Jackie F]

So HAPPY for you !!

[njcddresser]

Congratulations. I am very happy for you. Likewise, my wife is very receptive and supportive of me. However, 'Jackie' is not permitted in the bedroom. No worries as this is a very small concession given that I get to dress and be a woman whenever I please.

[FairyLink]

That's awesome!

[TrishaMarie]

Awesome. I know my wife loves me and is doing her best to try to accept me, but has a very hard time going shopping with or for me, and while I know I get so much more turned on when dressed for sex, she would prefer I not be. I am so happy for you. You have a wonderful wife, I wish only the best for you.

[CarlaWestin]

I can shave my legs now! :D
You can shave everything!

[Jesse Six]

Believe me when I tell you, being married to an enabler can cost you a fortune, we both like to shop for Tina.

Hah, you nailed it. Yes, when my euphoria subsided, I thought "uh oh, better set a budget."

Thank you all for the kind words!

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Jesse, Just remember that the ball is in her court now , Go slow and don't over whelm her and some flowers for her would be nice.

[traci_k]

You Lucky, Lucky girl. Congratulations to both of you! Treasure her. She is a gift.

Hugs,

[allison_mx]

thats awesome congrats to u and ur beautiful and comprehending wife

[Annaliese]

I am glad it went well, one never know how it going to turn out. Don't go to fast, an always think of her need first.

[Sandra]

You can shave everything!

....and this is were a lot of you fall foul. The wife is ok for the time being and you then go and do this and do that all in a rush, wife then starts to think hmmmm what is happening especially if the lines of communication are a little slow.

Jesse take it slow don't rush into anything, keep talking to her and ask her every so often if things are ok and she's ok with how things are progressing.

[sissy2_amberlee]

This is the way to go, young lady. I can tell you that the alternative, secrecy would produce many years of heartache, pain on both sides, and in the end, angry sullen bitterness. Also, she would know, but would be confused, even, believe it not not, might think you are having an affair. well, in a way you are, but the irony would be it would be not with another woman, but with your own girl..

Her is a little story, true, for you. I am a pretty smart guy, an engineer; don't you think, I would know to pull out my ruler and replace that white slip back in her drawer exactly as I found it? Then how come one day as she left to go visit her mother in another town, did she say the following. "Tom, please stay out of my lingerie" Huh? What the heck? These wives of ours are not stupid.

My point is, she will find out, and that is a fact. So the man who does not tell, is on a fool's errand.

[Jenniferathome]

congratulations. another positive response from a wife, I am not surprised. do remember that your relationship is not just about cross dressing. Walking is a good plan. Let her drive as she likes

[Nadine Spirit]

Good for you! I am so happy to hear that it went so well. It was the right thing to do and very courageous of you. Yay!

[ChristineNYC]

So happy to hear! I love to hear these positive stories!

[MsVal]

Congratulations! That is great news and the dream of so many.

Kindly consider this next step: Before doing anything for Jesse, do something very nice for your darling wife. She sounds like a wonderful woman; treat her to something appropriate for a such a great person. Accompany it with a heartfelt hand written letter that validates her faith in you.

[Janet Doe]

Sounds like you married a great woman. Very happy for you that everything worked out.

[Alice_2014_B]

That is amazing news!

[Beverley Sims]

This is the second astounding coming out story I have read today.
A lot of others here would like to be in your situation. :)

Good for you.

[_Cecilie_]

So happy for you! :)

[Jesse Six]

I can tell you that the alternative, secrecy would produce many years of heartache, pain on both sides, and in the end, angry sullen bitterness.

Hi Amberlee,
That was it. We've had a real honest relationship for the last several years, and this secrecy was very uncomfortable.

Sandra,
Point taken. I've read a number of sites where people stressed that your spouse married you as a man, and that she has a right to you as a man. I try keep my masculine wardrobe and grooming up to date, because I believe I have an obligation to stay attractive for her. Her initial positive reaction notwithstanding, I don't wish to blur the line in guy mode.

[JennyLynn]

I'm not even sure why I'm replying to this, as I can't see it ever happening in my life. I guess I just had to congatulate you and say cudos!! What a dream come true!! You lucky girl!

[carhill2mn]

Be sure to let your wondeful wife know how much you appreciate her!

[Stephanie47]

Congratulations! Check back with us in six months. Women have been known to change their minds. And, sometimes it is not just the guy who may or can be deceitful. A picture is worth a thousands words in a divorce court or a custody battle. But, you may have a gem.

[ttacitus]

Wow that's awesome! You are very lucky!

[Jacqueline Winona]

Jesse, that's great for you! Hope things continue going so well!

[DaphneMiller]

Wow, congratulations Jesse! You're very lucky to have such a wonderful wife. Make sure she knows it. :)

If I were telling the story you had, mine would sadly end with "and then I woke up, and it was all a dream..."

[Milou]

Wow. That's great... fantastic news. Congratulations!

[prettygirl4]

Great news! Happy for you!

[Jamsparks2003]

That is great to hear! I wish my wife was accepting as yours. It won't go so well here...

[TessInJxn]

That is a fantastic reaction! My wife's was rather similar (after a couple of days of processing). I count myself very lucky and blessed. Sounds like you are, too! Again, congrats!

Tess

[Jesse Six]

Hi all, a bit of an update,
(Thanks again for the kind words everyone.)

So I guess my wife was being a bit brave. After talking about it next day or two, she did have some concerns, mainly how far I was "on the spectrum", and what she was going to say to other people. I explained that I have no desire to transition, and that I would never want to put her in a publicly uncomfortable situation. I said this is just for me, her (if she chooses), and any other CD friends I might make.

She got misty eyed at one point, and when I asked why, she said "because it means you've been unhappy". I think her heart's in the right place, but it's an adjustment.

[traci_k]

Jesse, You have a treasure there. I love the line "because it means you've been unhappy." I told my wife I'd been unhappy for years and she said "Life sucks, then you die."

Be real good to that woman.

Hugs,

[teri g]

Wow, your wife has so much compassion for you that she knew what "the secret" had been like for you and it saddened her. Perhaps you've learned by now that many of us (most?) were met with varying degrees of hostility once the initial shock of discovery passed and eventually were left with rejection ranging from dadt to ending of the relationship. Hopefully you will reciprocate in fashion and take it slow and easy because her heart [I]is[I] in the right place. (I was trying to put "is" in italics?)

[aly01]

Congrats. Take it slow with so you don't scare her off. Glad she is supportive.

[sensui]

So super proud of you! if i could muster up the courage i would totally tell my wife....sadly im a scardy cat XD

[bomba]

helen those are some hot sexy feet

[Rebekah_uk]

Just wanted to say congrats, and i hope i have the same good news to convey soon. I have told my wife i have some issues i need to talk to her about. I have started the ball rolling and have decided there will be no turning back. I have decided after years of denial its time to take a long hard look in the mirror and stop this nonsense.

Rebekah is a part o me and always will be

[KC Samanatha]

Jessie,
It sounds like you have a wonderful and thoughtful wife. She seems very insightful and empathic. I wish you two loads of love, happiness and understanding!

[Marissa M]

That is so wonderful. Congrats Jesse. You have an amazing SO.
