Time to get undressed

[Traci H]

I know we have talked about this so many times. It?s happened to me before. Your dress up time is at an end and it?s time to revert.

I haven?t been able to dress much. Retired and not much alone time. But this morning my wife was going to be gone for awhile. I awoke and slipped on my leggings over my panties. Then my Rita bra with A forms and a long sleeve Apt 9 top that has a flutter over the hips. I actually tried a different bra at first with much larger forms and it just didn?t feel right. The Rita and forms just felt perfect. It all looked right as I viewed myself in the mirror. I was able to have breakfast and do all kinds of chores and it felt so good. When the time to peel it all off came, I almost felt like crying. I?ve been through this before, but it really was hard to revert this time. Have any of you had times when it just seemed so right and had a hard time going back, more so than others?

Well Traci, I know that can be tough, but .. to put your problem in perspective, I have been in girl mode 24/7 for 7 weeks, all day, all night (yes yes, I know that's what 24/7 means), and this morning I had to stop it. Had to cut my beautiful nails, couldn't do my makeup, had to remove my long glued on hair (wig, but semi permanently installed).
I have been in total drab all day, will likely have to do it again tomorrow, and might not be able to do any girl mode again for months.

You wanna know how I feel? I feel like sh..!
It has just been the worst day ever.

So not to diminish your rough revert time, but trust me, it could be worse :sad:

I feel you Traci and I know what you're going through. I'm proud of your strength putting voice to those feelings.

When I was young it was a means to an end, now with this safe freedom it's different for me. When I want to wear panties and bra or a dress or whatever I'm feeling I just do it. The end result is quite different. Although extremely conscious of what I'm wearing I become very relaxed in the outfit and don't feel sad when I take it off because it by that point probably needs to be put in the wash.

It appears you do not have permission to dress when your partner is around. That's a tough one. Reading about your situation/feelings/experiences and the echoes from others teaches me how lucky and blessed I am. It's how I feel and it gives me tremendous pleasure/happiness/satisfaction. Doesn't change me as a man at all, really. That's how everyone (including my wife) sees me.

I won't compare relationships, but I'll just say that my wife and I talk about everything and hold back nothing from each other. We also support each other in every way. Every interaction I've had in public has been as a guy, so I can dress how I like in my private home at my will with no restrictions, but I don't go out as a female or underdress (have no real desire to).

But when Sylph comes around it's always sweet and fun.

So then, my advice (if you will allow me) is to enjoy those sweet spots of freedom when they occur. It was always more intense for me when it involved keeping it from her, and I was always sad when I took everything off, especially if I was frantic because the front door was opening..

Always a bit sad when the girl clothes come off (unless it is to change into my nightgown at bed time)

My wife is unaccepting and does not want to see me dressed so I have very limited time to dress. I underdress everyday in panties and pantyhose. I also wear nightdowns and makeup when alone. We sleep in separate bedrooms so that helps. It makes me very sad when I change out of my nightgown and wipe off my makeup.

Traci first I'm welling to bet that a very high % on this site have felt to sadness at times. Second think about how great your going to feel your neext chance to dress :)

Suzie I feel so sad for you not sure what I would do if I had dressed for two weeks and had to take it off.

[Michaela Jane]

I hear you, loud and clear Traci. Yes, I sometimes have a hard time changing back, but have worked out ways around it. I too am retired, but widowed, so I have the luxury of all day to myself most days. Of course there are times that I need to go out and have family around, and at those times I choose femme clothes that pass muster as guys clothes too. As yet, as long as I am not overtly femme, I seem to be accepted by family and the wider world.

[GretchenM]

I remember many times when I felt the same way you do (did). Those are sad moments for sure. The clothes are just so damn comfortable - so free and airy. I haven't had an opportunity in months or even a desire. I no longer even have a distinguishable identity, libido or much of anything else defining. Being on androgen deprivation therapy for recurrent prostate cancer and having an undetectable testosterone and only small hints of estrogen has destroyed any sense of gender identity. I have had a few pangs of desire that last a couple of minutes and then fade away and any attempts to dress intentionally as a result of or to produce those female-like feelings lands flat on the floor without the slightest wiggle. Count your blessings. Don't go down this road if you can avoid it, but if you get prostate cancer prepare yourself for some big changes.

Traci, I have the same feeling. I hate reverting back.

[kimdl93]

It always feels right. I feel uncomfortable being obliged to switch into male mode, and with exception I feel that discomfort until I am able to revert to my natural state :)

[Claire81]

To me, it's like that scene from Cinderella...your wonderful Carriage goes back to being a "pumpkin"... The upside is that when I'm back to male mode, I have something to look forward to, at least! ❤

[Geena75]

Far more often than not, when I get dressed up I don't want to change back, even if I have had a full day out and about dressed up. To finally force myself I pull off the wig and it breaks the spell (during most of the year, I pull off the mask as well). It's sad, but it works every time.

[Sometimes Steffi]

It's been mentioned as turning back into a pumpkin.

If it's just a few stolen hours at home, I don't have a problem returning back to boy mode.

Even if I'm out and about for a day or an evening, I don't have much trouble reverting to boy mode.

It's when I go to Keystone and have 4 days, all day and all night as a girl that I have a problem reverting. The first couple of times I went to Keystone, I was is a depressive funk for at least a week.

[Claire M]

Definitely a sad feeling for me as well when I have to return to male mode. I sometimes find myself struggling to hold on to and savor the last moments before going back to male mode. I think that because dressing brings such joy its hard to let go. Probably an endorfin thing going on too.
