Hi all:

I know that many cds on here are married or in long term relationships, and their spouses know about their crossdressing. However, what I'm curious about is: Is your spouse genuinely excited by your crossdressing or are they just "tolerant" of it, and allow you to do it because they love you? I guess I'm curious as to those marriages/relationship where a spouse is genuinely excited to be married/in a relationship with a cd. Who is in such a relationship? :)

Thanks!

My wife is tolerant of my dressing. She loves me and accepts me for who I am and I really appreciate her support.

My wife is genuinely excited about and encourages it, in fact I have to remind her sometime that I have to change into something more androgynous in order to go in to town.

I am in a long term relationship with a CDer. I am also supportive of my SO 100%. My SO expresses herself several times weekly and we go out together dressed on a regular basis. I see no difference in my SO whether s/he presents as a male or female and I love him/her no matter what s/he wears. I need to add that my SO is not TS and does not want to transition nor live full time. If she did, I would support her transition as her friend but our relationship would change. I would seek a romantic relationship with someone else.

Back to your question, I can't say that I am excited by the CDing. I support my SO because s/he needs to engage in cross-gender expression and it is a part of his/her core. If my SO did not experience such needs I would love him just as much! I think this is more than being tolerant. Tolerance implies going along with something that we disagree with or we do not like. I do not dislike the CDing.

Mine is tolerant, as has been out with me twice, but not something that lights her fire.
Bit like her tv watching doesn't really light my fire, but something I try to get involved with.

My wife is NOT excited by my cross dressing. She accepts that it is part of me and she is happy to be with me whenever I want to dress. She goes out with me and I believe is truly at peace with it. That stated, she would rather I was not a cross dresser. It's a complication in life for anyone.

Hi Maya,
My spouse is very 'excited' by the shopping and fashion talk. It's a very fun thing we share together, we shop in person (in drab) or online all the time, chat about nail polish and makeup etc. Not just mine, but hers. She seems genuinely happy that I'm interested in fashion, unlike most guys who act like it's insufferable. I'm very grateful for her input, because she's stopped me from making some horrendous fashion mistakes :D

She is not 'excited' by it in the other sense... i.e. no sexual play while cross-dressed.

I'm another spouse who is not attracted to my husband when he CDs. I think the keys to finding a partner who is excited by it (and there are some on here) is:
1) to introduce it during the very first conversations,
2) to demonstrate that you are at ease with yourself,
3) to treat it like a positive aspect of your life, and
4) to be prepared to walk away from anyone who doesn't seem very enthusiastic about it.

She tolerates it and encourages it but we it is not something that changes our reality. She understands this is part of what makes me who I am and happy. On occasion it is an "exciter" for her, but on a regular bases it is just my thing just like her doing what she likes is hers. Sometimes her "thing" is exciting to me. We have a sharing and understanding relationship. The rest of the world's rules and inhabitations for norm stops at our doorsteps.

There may well be some women who like men who CD. But, mine would not select to have a husband who wore women's clothes. While she accepts my wearing fem clothes she would prefer that I didn't. All things being equal I would not choose to CD.

Excited is a strong word. Misty is a part of the whole me and my wife gets that, and my wife is particularly proud that she has me and a best girl friend all rolled into one. My wife supports and encourages me, then, but that's a far cry from being excited.

I'm very excited by my husband's CDing, in more ways than one. :D It's awesome that we can talk makeup and clothes without hubby getting bored by it. I still do most of the shopping since I have a better idea what to look for and where to find it, but my Padawan is learning. We're lucky in that we're close to the same size so we share a lot of our clothes instead of needing separate wardrobes. Our colorings are similar enough that we can share the majority of our cosmetics though we both have a few things that's just ours (either because of hygiene or . In our case it really helps that I'm bisexual and he's very passable en femme. I've actually been jonesing for some girl time, as we call it. Our one rule is that he can't CD around our son, mostly because he's too young to be trusted not to blab.

I'd say my wife is very supportive, but excited, no I don't think I would use that term. She will suggest my dressing, and she buys Tina really nice gifts. But if I stopped dressing today, I doubt she would miss it. I think she would agree with ReineD. And I believe most supportive wives would feel that way, after all it's out thing, not theirs, so why would they miss it.

It's nice to see a smattering of women who at least are somewhat positive about it.

My wife is very supportive and wonders why I dont dress more often. She also like me when I am more feminine i.e Kara mode because my listen skills seem to more heighten etc. Excited is all in the eyes of the beholder meaning she still sees me as her husband. This very hard in describing in our date night by the fire place, I am trying to keep this rated "G" lol

Nice to see some folks with supporting partners, especially ones similar to my situation (Ria, mbmeen).

I also really appreciate the advice of JessM for this:


1) to introduce it during the very first conversations,
2) to demonstrate that you are at ease with yourself,
3) to treat it like a positive aspect of your life, and
4) to be prepared to walk away from anyone who doesn't seem very enthusiastic about it.

If you don't understand yourself, how can anyone else understand you?

My wife's outlook is similar to Reine. She loves me and if it makes me happy and does not hurt anyone she is all in, that being said I don't think she would be crushed either if I quit crossdressing.


Let's just say that sometimes there are big pay offs for the SO's. ;):)

I agree that sometimes having a CD SO has benefits for the GG SO. I don't mind shopping with my wife, I help her with her outfits and give advice what to wear and am always there with the loan of jewelry or a purse etc to make whatever she is wearing look better.

mechamoose
03-18-2014, 05:57 AM
That is how to do it! My wife looks for my advice on clothes & jewelry, and she gives it right back. We love watching 'What Not To Wear' and 'How To Look Good Naked' together. :)

Aside from the fact that she has stolen more then one of my skirts...

My wife accepts that I am a Cder, and does not attempt to have me quit. She does not put me down for it. She does not like it. I could write a very long response to this thread, but I will just shorten it and simplify it to my wife needing Cding not to overtake the marriage or the "man" she married.

I thought my wife was tolerant of it for 20 years due to love, but I have since found it was out of fear. So she moved on to loathing it. We have calmed down to DADT. You could say it excites her, but in a bad way.

I fall into this category. My wife helped bring Rita to life. I believe my needs could have been satisfied with far less presentation. The wig the make up and forms were all Julie's doing. If too much time goes by without an opportunity to dress she misses it as much as I do. She says she loves waking up and finding Rita on those few days we have the house to ourselves. She is the reason I wear make up and go out. She holds none of the same reservations about being in the general public that plague me.

Her pleasure in my crossdressing is so exuberant I originally worried she was forcing herself because she loves me. I have read many stories of spouses that initially accept then later realize they can't deal with it. I was and occasionally still am worried this could be the case. To hear her tell it, women who don't have a CD for a husband are to be felt sorry for. Women who have a CD husband and reject that side of him are fools who have no idea what they're missing out on. After 30 years of marriage I'm not only her best friend, I am her bestie. I'm still trying to understand the difference.

We see several couples at the club we go to. All of the wives enjoy a pseudo celebrity status. The tgirls appreciate these women who can be so accepting. Julie is outgoing, fun and a great dancer. She is enjoying a popularity like she dreamed of way back in school. Between working, raising a family and a heavy dose of social awkwardness on my part, we never had much of a social life.

While I have always tried to be a loving and attentive husband, there is definately a new dynamic to our relationship. We get mani/pedi's together. When we go shopping, not only am I not bored but actively shop with her. I have a much better understanding of things like trying to decide which jeans to wear today. That is something I never understood. "What's the big deal?just grab some clothes and get dressed" would be my feelings on the matter. Now /chuckle there are so many things I understand better.

We have dabbled in alternative lifestyles all our lives. Perhaps that made it easier for her to accept and embrace this. In the beginning I know she just looked at it as a fetish type game. Initially when I tried to discuss the feelings, emotions and whys of it all she would say things like"If it's because we are freaks I'm fine with that. If it's something more I wouldn't be able to handle it". Well I knew it was more than just fetish. Yes there is a definite sexual component but that's not all that's going on.

With ongoing discussions during the short time since discovery, I have explored those feelings and she has come to understand that it's more than just sex. Equally it is more than the minor celebrity status she enjoys at the club for her. She genuinely misses Rita when long times passes between dressing. I once asked if something happened to me, would you date another CD. I believe once she was ready to date this might actually be a preference for her.

I am a happy.....whatever I am! I love my little tranny chaser

Absolutely ditto to that Rachel......oh and stop living my life thank you very much! :devil:

I liked Reine's reply. Very succinct and no nonsense.

My wife is very supportive and has helped me dress several times. She is not over zealous about it but respects my desire to dress. I love her more for being so accepting. She loves me more for telling her my inner most secrets about it. We have always had a promise to have no secrets between us and she has told me her deepest fantasies and mine to her also. We have even tried many of them, some have been great and some not what we expected.

Hi Maya, I wouldn't say excited it's more tolerating it because she knows that after 50yrs it's not going away.

LilSissyStevie
03-18-2014, 02:04 PM
It excites her because it excites me. In the same way there are things I participate in enthusiastically because it makes her happy. I have no doubt that she would not have sought out a CD for a mate. But she's cool with it 90% of the time. The fact that I'm a banjo player and she is a classically trained violinist was a much bigger hurdle to get over. Luckily, I was finally able to bring her down to my level.:heehee:

Don't think she is excited, but has no problem with it. She alters and makes skirts, dresses, and tops for me. Helps me put things together so I look as good as possible and has never given anything but encouragment, exceptance and love. They are out there people. All you need to do is find one that has un-conditional love.

My SO is very supportive of me and my CD-ing. Best example: I usually appear "en femme" when we awake and share coffee and the paper, in the morning. One morning, when I didn't appear so, she asked: "Where's Diane (my femme alter-ego) this morning?"

Got to love that girl!!!!.....

My Spouse is far from excited, she has reach a point that acceptance is out of the question, even a hint of CD'ing throws her into a rage. Once she evn hit me with a cast iron frying pan, most recently told me she will poison me. best i keep things as quiet as possible

My wife is somewhat supportive, helping with choosing clothing, makeup, wig, and jewelry. But she has also said that no she doesn't enjoy seeing me dressed up.

She has said that for her it is probably like me going to the ballet with her and her mom. I'd rather do anything but go to the ballet, but I go because it makes her happy.

At least she is honest and supporting, which is all I need and makes me happy.

@mechamoose, The role my family and wife need.... well, I guess that would simply be just me, father and husband. So long as the CDing does not infringe on this part of me, does not alter this, then my wife is ok with what and how we are going about it.

Hello, Maya!

I can't say my wife is excited by the fact that I am a crossdresser. She has stated that she does not want to see me made up fully as a woman, but she also said that if I visited a transformation service at some point, she would be OK with that. She is OK with me dressing (everything but wig, makeup, and jewelry) behind closed doors as long as I keep things in perspective, and I can be her man for much of the year. For that reason, I stop dressing from around now until early Oct every year.

She does, however, very much enjoy when my legs are shaved and smooth, and I take care of my feet and nails. She loves to snuggle under the covers and enjoys feeling my legs in hose and when I wear women's pajamas. She also appreciates the resulting increased libido when I dress. She will participate in what we like to call "fashion shows", where she will model dresses, skirts, hose and heels for me, and I am usually dressed the same way during these sessions. She understands how powerfully and erotic the visual taboo is for me to see my own legs dressed in the exact items as she is wearing, though she says it is not a turn on for her. I'm sure she participates to please me, not her, so I respect her by not going overboard.

She definitely appreciates having a shopping partner and loves my sense of style, so her rapidly expanding wardrobe is a positive aspect to my CD.

It's been evolving since Dec '12 when I came out to her. She has mellowed considerably since she realized it has not taken over our lives. I think as long as I respect her, it will be on balance a slightly positive force in our relationship. I do think that if she could snap her fingers and make it go away, she would. But I remind her there are much more destructive behaviors, which she acknowledges. On more than one occasion she has said, "you're not hurting anyone".

I'll take what I can get. I love her and the kids far more than CD, so I will strive to maintain balance and not cross any lines.

My ex-wife was supportive, but it didn't happen overnight. She knew about my dressing practically from the beginning of our relationship. (I won't go into that now as it's better left as a separate thread - a lot to tell!), but it wasn't until we'd been together for a couple of years she became comfortable with it, and then came to enjoy having time together with me as Diane.

After we separated (a story I've told before, so I won't go into it again), it seemed she preferred to be with Diane rather than Dave, loved going out with me to shop, dine, hang out, and do all the things two girlfriends do when spending time together. Even now, years later, when we get together (at least a few times a year) she wants to be with Diane. Is she excited by the fact that I CD? Hmm. Not really. I think she's excited to get together with her BFF Diane and no longer sees 'Dave' at all, even under the surface. To her I am just Diane.

My wife is sometimes tolerent, and sometimes not.

She's in the hear no evil, see no evil, do no evil category.

She doesn't know I have a girl name. She hasn't seen any of my clothes, never mind with me wearing them and vehemently doesn't want to.

The best I can say is that she's gotten to the point where I can tell her I'm going out and she doesn't wince (at least visibly).

At least she's not planning on divorcing me.

I don't expect it to get any better.

My wife is outwardly tolerant, so long as it stays at home and no one else knows.

She isn't fully supportive of it; she has moments where she hints support.

She is most supportive that I do more housework while I'm dressed.

Melissa Anne

I would say that my wife is supportive but not enthusiastic, if that makes sense. If I totally quit dressing today she would not be sad. But, she understands my needs and that it is part of who I am, and she has fun with it too. We go out together as women on occasion and she enjoys it and she even says that I'm her best girl friend. She even helps me buy clothes and she actually just made me a new skirt. One thing that probably helps her is that I don't dress that often (only about 6 times a year). If I was dressing weekly or more I think she would grow tired of it very quickly. I'm glad for her support and can't complain at all about our relationship.

Penny M
03-19-2014, 10:02 AM
I am not a spouse, but the girlfriend. I am supportive, yet still have questions and am confused by it a bit. I have bought him/her clothes, seen him in full dress once, and have done his make up once. I am supportive because I love him. I am trying to love all aspects of him. It is a little difficult for me though; which is why I am here. I want to learn all I can. I think as long as I don't lose sight of the "man" that I was initially attracted to then I will be ok.

My wife of 41 years can be described as tolerant tending towards accepting.

She stopped me from a potential purge with the comment "who the hell cares what you wear and don't do something we will regret tomorrow".

marsha leanne
03-19-2014, 12:10 PM
i have to say that my wife is supportive. i told her about this on our first date, (after a failed mariage ,somewhat because of my dressing) Her comment was to actually share something of her past, then say "just as long as you dont wear my stuff". We are not close in size so that is not a problem. We have a dadt relationship and i am given a lot of windows to dress. I am always called before she heads home so all can be "right" when she arrives.
There have been a couple of times where she has alluded to 'my secret life', and those may have been her opening for a deeper discussion, but i chose not to enter. maybe i should have.
I am pretty sure she would never want to go out together as we always seem to be running into someone she knows. And who know us as a couple. I believe her public persona is very sacred to her and she does not want that compromised. no prob. i can live with that.

my wife knows I dress but is never happy when she "finds" things. So I've never really figured that one out. I'm gone for weeks at a time some trips, one for 6 months over seas and she came across some of my "things" in my cycling closet. Never asked why she was in there but there they were a pair of heels just sitting under a bunch of cycling tights and jerseys. We've been together for 18 years now and she has come across my things twice and each time it's a long discussion but she is still here. I guess that would classify as tolerating it. I'm sure she would be happier if I gave it up entirely but last time I promised that and purged it just all worked its way back in again.

My wife hates it and wants me to never do it she gas known about it for about
12 years early on she was semi supportive but now it is a total dislike to the point
She will never leave me in the house by my self .that way I don't have a chance to dress.
It is starting to put a strain on our relationship. I don't know what to do as we have 2 children
i feel like I should throw everything out and just surpress it compleatly so I can have the relationship back I once had . Lost & confused.

I told my wife while we were still dating. We were probably about a year into our relationship when I told her. 13 years later, and she is as excited now as she was back then. When I first told her, it was more of a bedroom excitement. As the three of us have grown older, my wife has embraced my alter ego, renaming her, and developing a style for her. When I go out, my wife puts on my makeup, takes care of anything I can't reach myself(!), and helps me get dressed. She loves to see me head out into the world, and loves to hear about it when I get home, usually early the next morning. I have tried to give it up, but she brings me right back into it, and improves both of us in the process.

I guess I'm curious as to those marriages/relationship where a spouse is genuinely excited to be married/in a relationship with a cd. Who is in such a relationship?

It appears that very few of us have focused on the actual original inquiry, which seems to be focused on those whose spouse is "genuinely excited" about our CDing. Not surprisingly, very few of us report such a relationship. Perhaps we should focus on those rather than the many reports of "supportive" or "tolerant" SOs who would nonetheless prefer otherwise.

Besides, I'm a bit curious to hear from those few lucky ones ... and what their SOs find so exciting about it. Perhaps the rest of us could learn a bit from them.

My wife is generally supportive of me. I don't think she quite gets that my femme side has an opinion in what makeup or clothes to buy, however. I am still in the closet, so she buys things for me, by remote control, so-to-speak. If I ask her to get say, a lipstick of a colour that I particularly like, she will often choose one that she thinks will suit me. Now, that may be correct, but I want the fun of finding out what suits me or not.

My x wife was definately not excited by it though she did try to acceppt it in the end it was to much .She thought it could be cured .My last GF who at first supported it and helped me with it slowly back tracked .We are still great friends to this day and can talk about it at least .So i will be happy with that :)

My wife was responsible for my introduction to crossdressing, taught me how to dress and apply make-up, enjoys when I crossdress, wants me to crossdress, buys me clothes/shoes/makeup, likes to go out together dressed up as a female couple, encourages me to be Heather. She fully accepts me and enjoys me dressing as a female. We shop together, go out together as females, even sleep together at night in matching female PJs. She likes my appearance - heels, stockings, sexy attire, make up, long hair, nails. She actually prefers me to be feminine - maybe because she knows how happy I am - and would fully accept if I dressed as female full time.

I am married and my wife accepts my crossdressing. I can't say she is "excited" about it, I would say she tolerates it.

I'm hoping my wife eventually becomes excited to see Michelle. For now she is like most wives with a CD husband, TOLERANT! Supportive, yes, but there are times she wants nothing to do with Michelle and wants only her husband. There are times when she insists in buying clothes and accessories for Michelle. I do consider myself very lucky to have the freedom and support but being a selfish man I do want more.

Besides, I'm a bit curious to hear from those few lucky ones ... and what their SOs find so exciting about it.



I asked my wife about this question when this was originally posted, and her response was to turn the question back around and ask me if I thought she was excited about it. I really didn't know how to answer! So we discussed it.

In the end, I would say, yes, she is excited about it. Not that it began that way, as in "Oh really you want to dress as a woman and go places with me in public, wow, how cool, how fun, how exciting!" I suppose because she did not give that as her initial response is why I hesitate to say that she is excited by it.

Now after years, and years, and many, many, many conversations on the topic, I would say she is excited by having me as her spouse. And a part, not the whole thing, is being a CD. Now what exactly does she find exciting about the CD part? Maybe it would be best if I ask her to explain it? I will try that now.

I'm not sure that excited is the right word. We both consider Tina an adventure, and both of us are intensely curious. After all I was completely male for 55 years and then suddenly Tina appears. We both want to know where Tina has been all this time and who she is now. That fascination with the situation drives us, and has led us to encourage Tina to be herself. I'm not sure I could have ever asked for more than that! We're in this together and life is wonderful!

My wife loves it when I dress up. If she had her way, she would like me to stay dressed up everyday.

I would love to explain it, at least to the best of my ability. :)

The word "excited" is an interesting one because, to me, it has two definitions. In my mind, one definition is to be sexually aroused and the other is to overwhelmed with joy, like a child at a birthday party. So with that I mind, I can say that I am excited by Nadine because I am bisexual and enjoy the CDIng in that part of our life. ;)
Beyond that, I really enjoy the rest of the Nadine's CDing but it doesn't excite me. I love that CDing makes my spouse so happy; her joy brings me joy. It is great to go shopping, get our nails done, go to the movies, and a plethora of other activities we do together. I love my spouse so I love being with him and her; to me, it's the same person to me.

We met as Sherlyn and Di.....dated as Sher and Di so there is a romantic aspect with the cding in our relationship.So yes exciting.

We married in both guy mode and girl mode and life together is that way as well.I love her and him and we just have a reg life no drama, no secrets and taking this journey together.

None that I am married to. So zero as far as I know. But it's a nice fantasy

My wife is definitely into it. It's a big, but not all-encompassing, part of our love life.

My wife not only supports but encourages me. We have a lot of fun. She also buys me things from time to time

This would be my wife, too. She's better than tolerant, though I don't think I'd go as far as saying she's "excited" by it.

Not on a daily basis, but when weekends roll around...watch out! Extremely supportive, we usually stop by Sephora or MAC when we go to the mall. We go clubbing to get our dance on. She also likes going to CD conventions/meetings like SCC, First Event, etc. As a matter of fact, we will be dancing at Paris nightclub next week at Diva Las Vegas (first time attending). I feel very fortunate to have her in my life :)
