interesting Birthday card

[Panties4me]

A little earlier this year I had my 60th Birthday. Of course I received presents and cards. One card I received was from a women I have know since my teens and is a close friend of my wife. The card she gave me was for a 50th Birthday with the 50 crossed out and replaced with 60. So she got the years wrong you might say, but here is the punch line. The card consisted of a number of things that may occur in anyone's lifetime but there was one that had been highlighted. It stated, "your secrets are safe with me." I'm guessing that at some time in the past, in a deep and meaningful conversation, my wife has told her and I suspect one other close friend, about my crossdressing !! I have been thinking about asking her what she meant by the card and the only time we have been alone since my birthday, she was very nervous. I think she was waiting for me to bring up the subject. What do you think? Anyway, the thought that she may know has been an inspiration for me in my solo sex moments!

From what you are indicating here, it seems clear that your friend wants to talk to you about your alleged "secrets" and is sending a not-so-subtle hint that she would be supportive and can be trusted. Why else would she make the first move here and even bring up the subject, albeit in a circumspect way with your birthday as a catalyst to open up this discussion?

Sounds as if she is ready and willing to forge a deeper friendship with you than the long-term, "arms-length" relationship that existed in the past, and which was overshadowed by her close ties to your wife. Perhaps your friend is seeing an opportunity here for you to become the third "Musketeer" along with her and your wife and join them in activities as "one of the girls". Re-inventing the type of friendship your existing one was into a more female-oriented one would be part of such a process ...

I think it is time to test the waters on this one. :)

I doubt it was fishing so she must have an idea what your secret is !
I couldn't help myself I'd have to find the right comment and time to make it to see what she was hinting at ! Your last comment suggests there's a small spark between the two of you !!

Since she is a close friend of your wife's, you might want to run it by the wife before bring it up to one of her friends. After all it could be a secret other than the one you are thinking of. Cross dressing might be the first thing one of us would think about, but not so much with the Vanilla world.
I know when it comes to the wife and her friends, I would not want to open a can of worms like that with out her OK.

Too late now, but If it had been me, I would have thanked her for the card, for thinking I was only 50, for keeping my secret.

If she doesn't know your secret, all the better ;)

Thankyou laddies for your wise words. I am going to ask her about the card, probably go about it something like this, "Hey Judy, was just going back though my birthday cards the other day, yours caught my eye, what's my little secret that's safe with you?" I think that should do the trick, enough there to get a response without being too pushy do you think.

But after you discuss it with your wife! Everything starts at home :)

That's interesting, some time people wright or say things with what we believe there is a message to it. For myself I would probably not mention it but I would have to be in the situation. The curiosity would drive me crazy, and you know what happened to the cat with the curiosity.

Or maybe she meant that your true age was safe with her. Be careful not to assume too much.
