Just wanted to thank all the wives and significant others who are supportive.
It means so much to us.
My wife is very supportive and it adds a unique aspect to our relationship that has strengthened our marriage. I realize how lucky I am and I thank her and show her how much her support means. I will take her out for dinner and buy flowers for her on a regular basis.
I told her about my dressing prior to our marriage. During our many conversations I told her I did not want to enter the marriage without her knowing everything and I could not hide this from her.
At first it was very hard on her. The only previous knowledge she really had of crossdressing was from talk shows. We had many long talks and she came to know that the dressing is part of who I am and that she fell in love with that person.
Some of the things I told her were confirmed through "innocent" questions with conversations with my mother. My mom always wanted a girl and raised me as a girl until I had to go to school. But that is another story. I learned about that when my father was passing away and was telling me things he never mentioned before. I always knew mom wanted a girl and she let my hair grow out in a girls style. She had told me that people used to think I was a girl and she would smile when she said it.
The first Christmas after telling her but prior to our marriage she shows up at my house with several bags. She sent me to the showers to completely shave and then provided me with proper undergarments and a robe. We had a glass of wine and talked while she did my nails. While the nails were drying she did my makeup. She sent me into the bedroom to change. She had brought over one of the outfits that she had that I loved. That night I felt pretty for the first time. More important I felt support I never had before and felt complete. When I look at the pictures from that night I smile.
We spent the night talking and sipping wine. I was on cloud nine, but it got better. She opened a ring box and gave me a ring. It has three interlocking loops. She told me that it represents the three of us, Lea, her and my male side. I wear the ring every time I dress.
She has told me she loved the way I am around children, my caring attitude toward others and her. If part of dressing is allowing me to allow myself these feelings she is fine with that. She knows of husbands who are always gone golfing, football games etc. and are never home. So if I dress and stay home with her she does not mind.
She has told me I always support her and her endeavors and she will do the same for me.
She buys my makeup, under garments and other items that I need. She has helped me shave for the fall and even brings me flowers.
We have been out on Halloween several times together.
I just retired and she wants me to take advantage of the time and dress more. She told me I have never had this opportunity and I should go for it.
She does not understand why I like dressing in skirts, dresses and wearing pantyhose more than my leggings and a blouse, but the rest of it she has no problems. She understands in my case that it is deeper than the clothing. She knows I have a deep respect for women and admire the qualities they have.
She realized how much trust I had in her to tell her and how hard it was on me not to have had anyone supporting me before. We know we have the support of each other and that is a strong bond.
Their are no words to express how much her support means. To be able to learn from her, have her support and have my soul mate is great.
Also thank you to this forum for a wonderful site and members who support each other. Together, with support, we can be who we are and help others.
For those that do not have the support at home remember you are not alone and have this forum.
What are your stories of support or non support?
