R U In The ?Luckiest Person in the World Club?"

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

The purpose of this survey is not to brag, but to share success stories.

The definition of "Luckiest Person In the World Club" is:
Any cross dresser who believes they enjoy the full support and participation of their spouse or SO regarding their cross-dressing needs.

[Karren H]

Nope! By your definition I am not lucky at all! Sigh!

[Diane P]

Unfortunately for me my wife passed last Jul. If I had been crossdressing while she was alive I don't think she would have been supportive. Though I could be wrong since we had a friend that transitioned from male to female and we were both very supportive of her decision.

[AmyJordan]

Hi Teresa I'd like to apply for membership if you'd accept me. Not only do I have to dress and act feminine for my wife 24/7 it was all her idea how much more supportive can she be.

[OrdinaryAverageGuy]

I AM the luckiest guy in the world, but not for the reasons in the examples. My wife fully supports my weirdness, but never treats me as a woman because I'm not one. I'd be rather bothered if she did.

I'm not trying to mock the thread, rather the opposite. I'm hoping that most here consider themselves quite lucky, for whatever reasons!

[docrobbysherry]

Yes, I could be the luckiest CD in the world, Teresa!:battingeyelashes:

Because my CD life began rite after I divorced my wife! Sherry never would have come into being if my ex hadn't left!:tongueout

[Gi Gondin]

Not sure if the luckiest, but for sure as luck as I can wish for!

Telling her at the beginning of our relationship was paramount but wasn’t sufficient in my opinion to lead to full acceptance, or better yet, to full encouragement.

Just as an example from last night - we had a couple over for dinner and somehow the conversation got to ‘trans and sports’. After a few rounds of argumentation she said directly to them (they don’t know anything about my CD, and we are getting married in this year) - “If he decides, for any reason, to transition before our marriage, I wouldn’t change a thing, except buying another dress, pair of heels and schedule a second spot in the beauty salon!”

That’s a small example how she deals with it!

[NancyJ]

I do not qualify for your club. Yet, I still consider myself extremely lucky to have my wife. I adore her even though she puts limits on my dressing and does not accept or see my as a woman. Nancy

[alwayshave]

Teresa, I am definitely in the club with my wife having 5 of the 8 characteristics you set forward.

[CDMargret]

As I raise my hand. Yes I have her full support, help, fun and love. We started in our first year of marriage dressing. 15 years later I have more women's then men's clothing and dress 80 to 90 percent of our time together. Currently she is practicing with me doing eye liner. Yup....so lucky.

[debbeelee1]

I can say yes to 6 of 8. I'm very lucky! I'm getting up there at 70, so we don't get out very much anymore, but we always have one weekly "Girls Night In". My biggest problem is Debbee gets more stuff than Dave for birthdays and Christmas and Debbee already has too much! Well, that's a good problem to have!

[Gillian Gigs]

Yes, I am very thankful for the benefits I have regarding my CD'ing with the wife.

1. Wife willingly supports your wish to cross dress.
2. Wife accompanies you for shopping, but I am dressed as a male. I get her help and encouragement, though.
3. Wife understands and willingly caters to your fetishes. To me, this is a huge one, I appreciate everything I get.

This support has been gained through many years of slow progress. As it has been said, "Rome wasn't built in a day".

[Cheryl T]

Well, by your definition I am a card carrying member for sure.

All 8 of your examples apply to me.
I am the luckiest gal in the world.

[JocelynJames]

6/8 , but even without those I?ve always thought myself to be lucky to have her.

[Misty_cder]

I consider myself very lucky to have a supportive wife. She:

- willingly supports my wish to cross dress
- allows me to partially and fully present as a woman indoors.
- accompanies me when shopping and on numerous occasions has helped me purchase items.
- caters to my fetishes.

[Connie D50]

My wife has done everything on this list over the 46 years we have been married. However she goes back and forth on her support, is of course is better then never. It does however leave me never knowing where she fall any given day.

Wife willingly supports your wish to cross dress.
Cross dressing includes partial or fully presenting as a woman.
Wife accompanies you for shopping, dining, movies, entertainment.
Wife treats you as a woman when you are cross dressed.
You and your wife occasionally travel as two women.
Wife makes efforts to make you feel like a woman.
Wife understands and willingly caters to your fetishes and fantasies.
You and your wife present privately or in public as two women.

[Freddi]

I consider myself lucky to be able to be part of this club
My wife is supporting and never bothers about me dressing at home...I've no desire to go out dressed...apart from in the garden(no neighbors so lucky there too)
Wife willingly supports your wish to cross dress. I ALWAYS ASK IF SHE MINDS ME GETTING CHANGED (this is from male to female attire)
Cross dressing includes partial or fully presenting as a woman. MAYBE NOT FULLY BUT SHE HELPS,GIVES ME TIPS AND EVEN BUYS MAKE UP FOR ME
Wife accompanies you for shopping, dining, movies, entertainment. ONLY THE SHOPPING PART I'VE NO DESIRE TO BE SEEN BY JOE PUBLIC WHILST DRESSED
Wife understands and willingly caters to your fetishes and fantasies.
You and your wife present privately or in public as two women. JUST PRIVATELY BUT I THINK I MAY HAVE MORE SKIRTS & DRESSES THAN HER NOW. LOL

So YES I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to wander/sit around the house dressed either fully with make up etc or just with a dress & underwear on totally at ease with her. Sometime if I get the look wrong she'll chuckle and point out my error but never laughs at me or is horrified in any way. We had a friend who is transitioning and has been "out" for a few years now altho I have no desire to transition she has even suggested if I felt the need to talk to anyone else about dressing maybe they could be the best person to understand.

[BTWimRobin]

The devil would freeze solid the day I join that club.

My wife barely tolerates my female side. Just when I think we are turning the corner and she is becoming more supportive I realize she is simply humoring me.

[Crissy 107]

I am a very lucky person in many ways but CDing is not on that list for me. That’s alright I still do ok

[Suzie Petersen]

"I do not wish to join any club that would accept me as a member" (Groucho Marx) 🙂

Besides, I don't qualify for this club anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Years ago I could have checked some of the boxes, but not anymore unfortunately.

- Suz

[NancySue]

Would 6/8 qualify me as a member? If so, sign me up. Our small, nosy community limits my/our going out dressed, but I am often dressed, hose, panties, flats, shorts, bra but no or little makeup.

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

Please continue to share your situation on the various ways that you enjoy the pleasures of cross dressing with the knowledge and support of your wife or SO.

[Dianna_ericka]

Hello,
Great theme.
I belong to this club.
I disclosed very early in our relationship.
She is very active in my CD, actually she encouraged me in several ?firsts-activities?
She pierced my ears 28 years ago and went with me for dinner as a celebration.

I have some limits imposed by myself due to my job world.

She make me feel as a woman and as a man at the same time with no matter of the clothes I am wearing.

I have some 100% actions like underwear, pantyhose, and nail polish on toes plus shaving legs during cold months.

Greetings to all.

[chris80]

Wife willingly supports your wish to cross dress.
Cross dressing includes fully presenting as a woman at home.
Wife accompanies you for shopping, dining out with other couple as a foursome.
Wife treats you as a woman when you are cross dressed.
You and your wife drive as two women, when at weekends away
Wife makes efforts and criticises to make you feel like a woman, esp when I do something 'a woman would never do'.
Wife understands and helps since finding out 40 years ago. Better to look like a woman than to have another woman.
You and your wife present privately or in public as two women, when away at TV weekends.

So I think I am very lucky.

[StephanieCD]

Hi girls. I too am a member of the club. My wife supports me 100% as does my lovely stepdaughter. I have not ventured out yet but hopefully soon and they both want to accompany me whilst I am dressed.They both treat me as a woman while dressed in their company and occasionally even buy me girly presents. My stepdaughter is very close to my size and will pass on her lovely dresses. I believe they are so accepting of my female side because of the way I look after them and the warm loving relationship we have. They are themselves nice people who don't judge others. Hopefully what you put into relationships you also get out. Yes I am very lucky.

[Geena75]

In the words of CCR, "It ain't me!"

[Deborah2B]

I truly believe I am the luckiest guy in the world. My wife tries her best to understand this unusual part of me. She does not fully understand it and sometimes neither do I. Either way she supports my need to do this as much as she can, and I am very happy. She has bought me clothes, she has suggested various clothing, and she has even given me some of her clothes. I can wear panties every day of the week. I do not on days that I work for my own reasons. My wonderful wife makes so many efforts to accommodate this unusual part of me. I love her dearly for this and everything else that she does for me. She has offered me ?Deborah time? on days we are together. I will not let Deborah impede on our time together. I love spending time with her as "her guy".

[Denise C]

I am a member. Wife accepted supported and became encouraging. I think a major component to that luck was to tell her way before I married her. Keeping secrets is not something that is beneficial. Unfortunately I lost her about 2.5 years ago. I retired just before that and have pushed myself to go out.

This is a new chapter for me now, I wish she was still here and heathy as we really would have great times going out and sharing adventures and experiences together. I know she would be proud of me for being out and the confidence I have gained.

Now I won’t bother with the date as a guy and then wait for the “right” time to tell someone, they will meet Denise first.

[Mermaiden]

. She is ok with me wearing dresses, skirts, panties. She will go shopping with me and out with me in a skirt or blouse. But she is squeamish about seeing me in bras or with boobs. So I?ll come to your club meetings but can?t be a full member.

[Jillcder]

Someday when I get the courage I would love to be a member of the luckiest person in the world club until I get the courage to discuss my Crossdressing with my wife Im on the outside looking in.

[Beano980]

It is so helpful to hear success stories. Thank you all very much for sharing your experiences. Mine has been the opposite. My x is repulsed by the very idea and although not "the" reason, I'm sure was a contributing factor to our divorce. As I navigate my way thru being a single person, I struggle with the thoughts that my crossdressing will never be embraced, much less accepted ( DADT) in a new relationship. I'm relatively young (54) have a good job, am financially secure, great father and am told I'm handsome as a man. I have a lot to offer and enjoy being a man, it's just.... I have something extra. It is part of me. But not the biggest part of me. It has has a been part of me for as long as I can remember. My fear is that my crossdressing, if done completely outside of a relationship would be terribly isolating. I want to share my life in my next relationship, not compartmentalize it. Or god forbid, try to put this part of me in a box on shelf in the closet never to be opened. Uggg. Time will tell I suppose. Great thread.

[Christie ann]

0 for 8 here. Not very lucky in that world.

[laurenchanning]

My soon-to-be wife is very accepting. Love her and love that she accepts me as I am. I wish everyone could have what she and I do.

[Andreea]

Yes i am. My wife is very supporting. I told her when we started dating 20 years ago that i like crossdressing. Over time she have been very supporting, buying me lingerie for birthdays, nice dresses and taking me shopping for lingerie. She understands my need for crossdressing and want us to go for a hotelweekend so i can dress without the fear og our kids walking in on us. She helps me in any way she can. Lucky me!!!

[Jane G]

Nope not even close by your definition. How ever I still consider my self one of the luckiest people in the world.

In a stable relationship for over 40 years.
Retired
A loving successful family.
Financially solid.
Able to go climb mountains when and where my aging body will allow.
And right now enjoying the fun that is cross dressing.

[Davina2833]

Jane,

You said it best, except no mountain climbing, lots of walking...

Davina

[Mary Loo]

0 for 8 doesn’t let me qualify for your club,

BUT as others have said, I still consider myself in the Luckiest Guy club because my wife is my best friend and lover and has truly made my life wonderful in the 33+ years we have shared together. We have essentially been inseparable after a few days of our meeting and we have 2 wonderful adult children.

0 for 8 it isn’t all bad. I told her fairly early in our relationship about my trying on female clothing from adolescence on, on occasion. However, I didn’t really, truly start cross dressing with my own clothes, shoes, or a wig until just about a little over a year ago. Thus, there really wasn’t much for her to process until fairly recently. She is not “accepting”, but she is understanding and we have had a lot of conversations and discussions over the last year, we are trying to deal with it as a team, together, and she is trying.

Again, I realize my situation could be far worse, so I truly am lucky. Granted, I definitely appreciate reading about all of you ladies that are truly card carrying members with Teresa as your leader.

[Georgina]

I'm in the Second Luckiest Person in the World club in that I have a very supportive sister.

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

Congratulations! You are in the top tier of CDers who enjoy the acceptance and support of another woman, in this case your sister.

[Annajose]

I consider myself very lucky! My wife struggles with my crossdressing but makes a big effort and loves me! So, I am very lucky!

[sometimes_miss]

Lucky regarding finding a crossdressing friendly mate? Nope. No luck at all, there.
But the glass is half full. I live in a first world country. Retired, have social security and a pension. Own my own house. Have three cars. A wonderful pet parrot. Health is pretty good. No one is shooting at me, I don't live in a war zone, so no bombing around me. I have internet, and many thousands of movies and TV shows so I can always watch whatever I want. Good stereos in several rooms. Lots of model trains, and real train tracks with frequent trains going by often, for being a train fan. Good weather and good neighbors. Life is pretty good, so I keep that in mind whenever I feel a bit sad that I can't find a compatible woman to share life with. Can't have everything.
