Another small step

[Heather76]

As many couples do, my wife and I have special terms of endearment for one another. I often (daily, I'm sure) refer to my wife as my "lover lady." This morning, while we were embracing and kissing shortly after getting up, I was still in my stockings, bra, forms, panties, and favorite nightie. In the midst of our embrace, I said, "You're my lover lady." My wife replied, "You're mine, too." I said, "Your lover lady?" She said, "YES!" OMG!!! I about fell over. I found it quite remarkable that she referred to me as a "lady." Of course, I wasn't wearing makeup or a wig; but, I still found her comment to be somewhat encouraging. I might be giving her comment more validation than it deserves; but, I'm an eternal optimist.

It doesn't sound to me as though she said it in sarcasm; my guess is you would have known if that happened. Sounds to me like she meant it as a compliment and an expression of her affection for you.

Hugs,

Linda

Your wife's comment really moves the needle on the acceptance scale. Enjoy!

Great wife

[Debbie Denier]

Sounds like you are a lucky lover lady to me.

If you haven't already done so, tell your wife just what those few words meant to you. It'll perhaps help her understand your dressing better.

What a sweet moment that must have been something you will always remember. Great wife!

A nice comment for sure!

Heather, That is wonderful. You're a lucky girl.

Heather, you have one very wonderful wife!

[Heather76]

Those of you who have commented about how wonderful my wife is are spot on. This entire journey, in the overall scheme of things, is relatively new as I first started crossdressing in June of 2020. I finally mustered up the nerve to have "The Talk" just before Thanksgiving of 2020. We've had some challenges along the way; but, my wife has slowly and steadily become more accepting. It has reached the point of acceptance of her part that I no longer think twice if I want to dress in the evenings. During the day at home it is now rare that I'm not wearing a bra (or bralette) and forms. When I dress in the evenings, I may wear Heather's watch and a bracelet or two. What I don't do is wear makeup, press-on nails, lipstick, and a wig. On occasions like today, where I have been doing some outside work that caused me to perspire/sweat a bit too much and I felt I should bathe before dinner, I sat down to the dinner table wearing my stockings, bra, forms, and a dress. That's maybe an every 3 or 4 week thing; but, I'm comfortable doing that and she's comfortable with me doing that, as well. She has no hesitation with long, tight embraces where my (fake) boobs are pressed up against her glorious natural boobs. She knows when I leave the house if I'm wearing a bralette with inserts as we almost always hug one another in such a way she can feel the straps and/or the closure hooks. She knows I will wear my DD forms as well. But, she also knows I will be discreet so far as to who will see me. A few days ago, I filled the gas tank with my boobs on display under my golf shirt - 20 miles from home. Yesterday when I got gas 2 miles from home, my boobs were in a bag on the car seat. Bottom line is, she knows I'm not going to come out of the closet to people we know. She's comfortable with the fact I won't cause her any embarrassment.

Will she ever be supportive? Will she ever go shopping with me? Will she ever want to have a girls' day out with me? Will she ever surprise me with feminine gifts? I don't really see those things happening and I'm fine with that. We don't talk very often or very much about my crossdressing. I would like that to change; but, I don't know if anything would be accomplished by increasing our conversations. Anyway, I'm in a great place that I know so many others can only wish they were in. For that I will always be grateful. But, I am always on the lookout for another small step forward by my beautiful, wonderful wife.

That was a lovely comment for her to make and one to be treasured. Definitely sounds like a high level of acceptance.

I'm so glad you have such a supportive person in your life. Congratulations.
