Since joining 'Crossdressers.com' I have become much more at ease with myself, and more confident. I wish to thank everyone here who has helped me.
Over the years, my wife and I have had "The Talk" more times than I case to count...usually every six months or so, which would give me the chance to dump six months worth of pent-up emotion on her all at once.
Before Christmas, we had another of our talks, in which I told her of my newfound peace and my desire to be able to share my thoughts and feelings with her on a more casual, daily basis--so we can avoid the 6 month drama. At first she sounded willing, but I pushed the wrong buttons a few too many times and her shields went up again. I decided to let it drop again, went through a pseudo-purge (moved all of my Dayna stuff to a locked closet).
We went out for dinner and drinks last weekend and, seeing an opportunity, I opened up again; this time things went better--although she has no interest in seeing me dressed (in person or in pictures), she did ask me for some Web links where she can go to learn more about crossdressing. I encouraged her to sign up here and join the GG forum (I assured her that Tamara won't bite! :D )... things were looking up... or, so I thought.
After our night out, she spent the next couple of days in a funk. I was leaving town on a business trip, and her "goodbye" to me included the words, "I think we could both use some time apart." Crushing. Made for a long flight. When I got to my destination I called her and she apologized, and told me that there were things we needed to talk about--specifically my crosdressing--but not on the phone. Although I was only gone two days, it seemed an eternity. I did not know what to expect.
Earlier this morning we sat down for another chat; what I learned is that much of her anxiety is being caused by MY expectation. I won't betry her confidence, but it things are definitely looking up.
So much so that I bought a navy blue VS dress off ebay this morning, with her blessing--and if I out bid you, sorry!!
