Wife should be a therapist

[Maria 60]

For a while now our normally safe neighbourhood has been exposed to car break ins, car thief, home robberies but worst home invasions, they don't care if your home.
On my last Friday night drive about two months ago I came home and all the lights were on in the house and my wife was on the corner of the couch and a sign of relief when she seen it was me walking threw the door. I didn't want to embarrass her so I didn't say anything but figured she was worried being alone, so I stopped going out on Fridays.
Last night we went to the mall, there was a buy 1 get 1 free sale in a clothing store. My wife asked me if I wanted to do a split, she buys something and I get something for free. I looked around but nothing caught my eye and I told her she should just buy herself whatever she wants and get the good deal.
We went into a coffee shop in the mall and my wife is a very open and direct and asked me straight out what's wrong with me lately, I haven't fully dressed very much and I would have bought half that store we just left.
She told me she knows I'm not going on my Friday night drives because I know she's not comfortable being alone and she believes that even though I never leave the car on the drives it is a great excuse to dress up and showcase some new items. She believes without the drive I have no reason to buy something because I don't have a good reason to wear it. The drive was where I had to look and present my best and now without that I'm probably not even practising or trying to better my fem self.
I didn't even consider that I just thought I was not going on the Friday drive but didn't consider that I wasn't dressing or wanting to buy new things because of that. She asked me to go for a drive last night but I was to tierd and I really didn't want her to stress out. She is such a sweet heart because I wake up early and this morning she asked me if I wanted to go for a early morning drive even though it was daylight already. I thought that was very thoughtful of her. Wow! Maybe my wife should consider changing her occupation, I believe she could be right. Thought I would share another example of life and mind set in the crossdressing life.

Hi Maria :hugs:, You are so blessed to have such a Special:love:Wife, >Orchid**O:daydreaming:O**

[AmyJordan]

My only concern would be for my wifes safety I would drop everything if she was in anyway uncomfortable. I'm sorry your area is experiencing a rash of disturbances it must be very unsettling. Bless her for trying to come up with a solution so you don't miss out but be careful she doesn't feel guilty and feels she's depriving you, wifes and partners are to be treasured.

You two are such strongly supportive partners

[ShelbyDawn]

First, I admire your dedication to your wife. It sound like you two have a wonderful relationship.

Second. No matter where you live, home security is an issue these days. I sold home security for a few years a lifetime ago. Here are a few free tips I used to pass along to potential customers.
1. Replace all the screws in the hinges and strike plates on exterior doors with four inch brass screws.
2. If you don't have dead bolts, get them,
3. Look into some kind of alarm system. Even if it's not tied into your phone to automatically call the police, just the sign in your window and the noise of the alarm will help deter someone from breaking in.
4. Exterior motion sensor lights by your garage and exterior doors are a good idea too.

And last, your wife sounds wonderful. Does she have a sister? :)

I think u may have missed part of her message, Maria. U always take your drives at nite when no one can see u, rite?

Your wife suggesting u take it in daylite may mean something? Maybe she thinks you're ready to be seen to renew your dressing interest?:battingeyelashes:

Is she rite?:heehee:

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

docrobbysherry makes a good point.

Maria, Your wife is so awesome and as we have all said, you are so lucky.
I can understand your concern about leaving her alone on your Friday night drives, I would also be staying home. You can dress anytime so you maybe should consider a daytime trip even if you had to get dressed in your car or some other place. I know some of us know some small businesses that are friendly and that could be an option.
I think Shelby has some great tips but even then you may be nervous leaving her.
You have such a great situation at home I hope things work out for you both. Good luck!

I am going to make the assumption your wife possesses a driver's license and knows how to drive a car. Why not get all dolled up and go out together for a drive with your wife driving the car; daytime or evening. If someone observes, then she can say she was driving a friend somewhere. At least she will not be left alone and her protector will be with her.

If your wife is so OK with it all. Why don?t you go out together. For a drive, a stop somewhere. As having a good time together

Maria, Lovely story.

[Rachelakld]

great story.
I'm not a night time fan and my wife prefers me to go out during the day - less drunks and trouble makers, plus she likes me home looking after her after dark.

[CDMargret]

Just give your wonderful wife a big hug an a squeeze. World is getting scary out there. I have stopped late night drives feeling it's just not safe anymore. Lucky our place seems to be safe small town and all. Day time drives are a great fun idea. And maybe something to try doing together. Think I will ask my wife about trying this. Thanks.

Maria, You got a keeper!

Maria, She sounds like a great wife for sure.
