Sorry, but I had to tell "someone"

[Kandi Robbins]

Accepted that I am a crossdresser in November.

Told my wife in early December, her response was that she only wants me to be happy.

I have been deliriously happy, almost giddy, literally every moment since. Holding hands, talking about real things on an intimate level, reaching a level of intimacy with my wife that I have not done probably since the conception of our 20 year old (and I don't mean just that!).

All great, right? Wait, there's more!!!

Yesterday, my wife was cleaning out her closet a little and gave me a very cute top, sweater, a pair of jeans, yoga pants and black dress pants. Then she gave me 2 pair of black heels (1 low heel, the other my absolute favorite pair of shoes, we wear the same size shoe), a pair of burgundy pumps, boots and a pair of walking-around shoes. There were a few other items, but unfortunately, they didn't fit. Then we're laying in bed and I mentioned I borrowed a large Coach boot box (it was empty) for storage and she joked that I'm not ready yet for Coach! Then she remembers that I needed a storage box and gave me another one while she was getting ready to go to work.

Ladies, it truly doesn't get any better than that! God, I LOVE MY WIFE!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but I just had to tell someone.........

What a fan-freaking-tastic development.:notworthy:

Hi Kandi,

What a great story and great wife. My advice though is to keep communicating and don't rush too quickly . . . take things slow and if she gets silent give her some breathing space. Not saying it is going to happen but as things progress and they will, it may be harder for her to synthesize some things . . . hence the communication aspect.

Hugs

Fantastic Kandi! great news:)

[justmetoo]

Excellent! Best wishes!

[Jonithan]

Isha speaks the truth. Communication in any relationship is key. When it comes down to funny looks from the SO, you've waited too long and too late. Don't over burden her with TMI or too much Kandi. Find a mutual balance you both can live with. Remember this is still new to her.

Great news! Sounds like a fun day! Reading all these good news stories has me thinking that maybe telling by wife won't be as bad as I imagine it will be!

[Amy Lynn3]

Kandi, if I had a wife I would want her to be just like yours.:daydreaming::battingeyelashes:

[Kandi Robbins]

Amy Lynn,

Thanks, I am very lucky. It's still early in the game for me, but this certainly was a great day. I know not everyone has their wife's blessings, so I know how blessed I am.

Kandi, this kind of relationship never surprises me. Everyone can have it but it takes a solid foundation. I'm happy for the both of you,

[Kandi Robbins]

Thanks Jenn. I am obviously biased, but she has done way more than accept me for being a crossdresser. I put her through some tough times that most women would have walked away from and she stuck by me. Not sure what I did to deserve her, but I thank God every day for her.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Kandi, I'm really happy for you.:hugs:

[kimdl93]

Congratulations! You are indeed fortunate in so many respects. I am deeply envious of one thing in particular: Being able to share shoes with your wife!

[nikki2014]

Kandi, thanks for sharing a wonderful story. You truly have a wonderful wife.

[marie_cd]

Kandi, It's wonderful that your wife is so accepting. Mine knew about some of my thoughts about female clothes, but I was able to let her know that I wanted to wear it for more than just "playtime" pursuits in the end of last year.

She then quickly gave me a bra that was too small for her but is pretty close to a fit for me, helped me measure for clothes.

Then I was overflowing with joy when she pointed out that the "give to goodwill" box in our place had some cute dresses that would fit!

So I have to share some of the same feelings! My partner is so great!

[MissTee]

She's definitely special, Kandi, and you are very quite fortunate to have her in your life. Thanks for sharing.

[bridget thronton]

An awesome wife

[Jackie7]

Kandi, now you can take that awesome wife of yours out shopping for new clothes that will look great on her, and better yet, also on you when she decides to hand them down.

[suchacutie]

I do completely understand why you just had to tell someone! It is just so invigorating to go through this process when it is positive!

My only thought is not to get so carried away that you forget to make her feel just as happy as you do now! :)

[Isabella Ross]

Kandi, welcome to the club of accepting SOs. Let your new life of less frustration and more kindness/gentleness begin.

[Eryn]

Thank you for the great story!

Too often we only hear about the marital conflicts caused by being TG. People who don't have conflicts don't tend to write as much as those who do. Mimi and I know a number of married couples who happily incorporate CDing into their lives. Quite often we find ourselves at a "girls night out" where half of the girls possess a Y chromosome. :)

[~Joanne~]

I am with Eryn, you don't hear a lot of us that have a SO that didn't have any hang ups over this, I sometimes wonder if the ones that went bat s*** crazy actually loved their SO to begin with. Yes this is a game changer but it shouldn't be that big of one unless your transitioning, that's a different game all together. I am happy that you now have someone to share this with and that your wife didn't freak out. just don't push it all the time, the talk, the dressing, and all of that, go at her pace and go slow or her feelings may do a 360 on you.
