Close call yesterday

[Glenda58]

The wife took the grandkids home yesterday said she was going to visit her daughter. So I figured I had about 6 hrs to myself to dress. I didn't go the hold 9 yards but a skirt, blouse, heels and wig with just a little makeup. I was cleaning some of my things and on the forum. You know just having a good time dressed up. When my phone rings it's her she had a fight with her daughter and she's on her way home.:sad:

We talked for about 15 minutes while she's driving. I get off the phone and start changing back and putting away my things. When I hear the garage door open.:eek: I'm in the basement in my bra and panties. I have a project that I'm working on in the basement with a change of cloths. So I slipped on the jeans a tee shirt and a sweat shirt. Put on a baseball cap to hide the wig lines on my forehead and my work shoes.

I went to talk to her. As I sitting there I remembered I still had makeup on. Eye shadow mascara and lipstick. She was so upset about her daughter she didn't notice or didn't care. We talk for hours before she settled down.

Didn't get the makeup off last night.

That was to close for me.

[Caden Lane]

She may have noticed...women tend to file things away until they can process it. I wouldn't assume she didnt...but I wouldn't rule out that she did either.

[Katey888]

I'm pretty sure my wife could spot mascara down to about 5 microns from 6 feet away.... :eek:

My routine always allows for a shower and full exfoliation after makeup remover... belt and braces me :)

Good luck!

Glenda I so know the feeling, I always fear my wife coming home but not as much lately, even though she knows and doesn't accept I feel that if she came home and I were still dressed well she should not be shocked she knows I do it. I'm not wanting to shove it in her face but it is me so don't be surprised if it happens. I do respect her feelings about it but I'm not going to apologize for it either

[Annaliese]

It may not be over, that is how I got caught, came home from a trip and that is the first thing she saw. I thought I had wash everything off, left a little mascara.

[Glenda58]

Katey she's almost blind without her glasses on. And I always take my makeup off but she got in bed early and I couldn't get to the remover. So I plan on getting some makeup remover wipes to put in the basement.

[Dana_Drake]

Yikes! My ultimate fear. My wife found a long, brown hair from my wig on the kitchen counter. I ignored it. The next day I ordered a new wig, same color and length as her hair.

[marsha leanne]

leighR, i know where you come from. My wife knows, but we are dadt. she has never seen me dressed and i dont want to shock her if she were to walk in. had a couple of close calls when she didnt call first. I respect her and she respects me by giving me timebut that sound of the car in the driveway is a spooker!

[Jenny Elwood]

I don't know how some of you manage to keep the secret for so long. I did about two years before I got caught. I blame alcohol for that...

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Glenda, Been there and done that, My DA-DT wife always calls when she's on the way home.
It really sounds like you may need a new hobby.

[Jaymees22]

I guess I'm lucky that my wife isn't driving at the present time, so I drop her off at work and know I'm safe until I pick her up.

[reb.femme]

A bottle of Johnson's Baby Oil and tissue works wonders. You could store that away for those awkward moments and it's not an 'in your face' makeup remover, just a moisturiser. I used it for the first time this weekend, having seen others recommend it here and can confirm it works well.

Luckily, I'm out to my wife so no such rush required.

[Vanessa Rose]

Honestly,

I applaud you all for the hoops that you must jump through

I can't imagine having to do that.

I am an expert of improper makeup removal.

And toenail polish

And eyeshadow

[Beverley Sims]

That would get the adrenalin going.
Lucky!

[Megan Thomas]

So I plan on getting some makeup remover wipes to put in the basement.

cooking oil from the kitchen as a last resort will remove make-up, even stubborn make-up.

[ShelbyDawn]

Johnson's baby oil is also wonderful for getting grease and oil off your hands as it is oil based.
I used to use it all the time when I owned cars that seems to have a life's purpose of proving to me I did not want to be a mechanic. :)
Don't know what type of projects you are working on, but if your hands get greasy, the baby oil is perfect for both.

:hugs:

Glenda, I'd say that if you talked for hours and slept in the same bed with her she saw the makeup regardless of the quality of her vision.

The important thing is that you were there for her in her time of distress. Depending upon her knowledge of your CDing you may have some discussion in your future, but at least you were doing the right thing even with makeup on!

[Glenda58]

The good thing when we talked it was getting late in the day and she doesn't like to have the lights on in the house. No we don't sleep together I snore and she likes the window open and a fan on even when it's 10 below.

Olay has makeup remover wipes that I can put in my tool box in the basement. They work fast and I don't need anything else and easy to dispose I've used them before.

:eek: I had a similar experience with my first wife ( I never came out to her). At the time, all I had was stockings, versatile fashions Maid dress, petticoat, and sandal type heals that straps around your ankles. I bought all of this after I found out she was having an affair, but she convinced me he was just a friend, (typical lying BS). Well anyhow, she was on a business trip for a few days (I assumed the airline tickets were a ruse since they were not in her name. I had asked why she had them, her claim was she had to pick them up for the group (more BS). Later that week when she was supposed to return, I get a call from her stating that her coworkers got drunk in one of the airport bars and they missed their connecting flight and she will not be home for another 6 hours. Yippie :battingeyelashes: I went upstairs and got dressed, did not take more than 15 minutes. I had all of the lights turned off in the house. I usually would walk out on the deck in my dress and feel great about being me. All of a sudden I see car headlights coming up the driveway. I never thought I could run in heels but I managed. She had entered the home and I had to jump into the bed fully dressed including the shoes (at that point I refused to sleep with her and I took to the second bedroom). By the time I got under the covers she came upstairs and opened my door, I pretended to be asleep. She woke me and I said how was your flight dear. She did her usual guilt trip complaining about how irritating everthing was. In reality she called from her cell phone that I did not know she had, must have had an argument with her boy toy so she came home early.

good move!!!!!

[Claire Cook]

Glenda,

Maybe she was just glad that you were there to talk and decompress with. My wife -- who is very supportive -- says that I listen better when I'm Claire. Perhaps your wife subconsciously clued in on that?

[Sarasometimes]

I had a couple of "Is that eyeliner on your right eye?" moments and have since learned to be very thorough. Did you think of trying any of the Mrs. Doubtfire tricks in reverse?

[Ellie52]

Im so Lucky - my wife just gets annoyed if I use her makeup instead of my own. How do they know??? I'm sure women ARE from Venus or at least a totally different species as they are so prescient. I'm sure most CD's here who think they are hiding things from their SO are totally misguided as the SO already have a good idea.

[Karren H]

Girlfriend.... Explain again why you married this woman? Besides the mushy love stuff? lol

[Kristy 56]

Glenda that definitely gets the heart pounding. I still remember the time my sister came home early and almost caught me. Luckily our rooms were on the 2nd floor and she didn't come right up. It was 40 years ago,but I still remember it like it was yesterday. :)

[samantha rogers]

Hi, Karen, fancy meeting you here, sweetheart. Given my own situation recently, I was just thinking the same thing when I saw your comment.
I am far from judgemental, having been in deep cover for twenty years with my wife. But, honestly, girls, it never goes away. I know the fears, I have been living with them forever. I will be the last to pass judgement or offer advice. But, as Karen knows, I recently "came out " to my wife. I have no idea how this will turn out. But if she cannot handle this, despite the pain and trouble it will cause for both of us, then ...well I guess she does not love me as much as I hope or else she is not strong enough or grounded enough even with help to cope. I dearly hope this is not the case because I love her and our life more than I can say. But I could no longer carry the strain of deceit, nor the guilt associated with the lie. Twenty years was too long. I overestimated my own strength. I pray our relationship is strong enough to carry through this. Either way, though, at the very least, though I will now carry the pain of knowing I have hurt her, I do have the knowledge that I have been honest with her finally about who I am.
This is no easy road for any of us, sweethearts. But let Samantha at least be an example in one thing...you can run and you can hide, but no matter how good you are, it is a lie. And lies will rot in your soul.
Sorry to be a downer. No judgements, honey...honest...Lord knows I would be the last to pass judgement...we all live our own lives. Hopefully, this may be of help to someone, though.
"...holding hands in the dark..."
Hugs

I've had my share of close calls, a recent one was when she came home, thankfully i had already changed and was putting stuff away leisurely . I'd about finished when my gf gave surprise visit. Then as we're chatting I see on the bedside table cotton swabs with the make remover cap open. The swabs full of eye shadow, liner, blush, lipstick. I must have visibly sweated. She might or might not have seen it didn't say anything. Phew. SHe's asked me if I had eyeliner on once too, I denied it and then went to wash it off.

[illusiongirl]

Will she react badly to the news, if she really knew that is? I had a gf that was ok with it or was iffy, then didn't like it after a few times of me being dressed. But their are women out their that like it and don't mind, u just have to be honest, confident about it, and eventually one will be accepting.

[Glenda58]

Girlfriend.... Explain again why you married this woman? Besides the mushy love stuff? lol

Karen I told her about CD before we got married. She said she didn't want to see it but still wanted to get married. I thought I finally found the right one. Wrong!!!!

[Barbie Anne]

My first wife flip flopped on me like that. I feel your pain and wish you well. Hugs
