Progress on the acceptance front!

[Camille58]

Hi all! I just wanted to share with you the events of this past weekend. Saturday night, my wife and I were having a glass of wine together,and talking about crossdressing. At one point, I said " for instance, I would love to go shopping with you dressed the way I am now." I was wearing black leggings and a grey women's turtleneck sweater. She looked at me and said " why don't you? I have no problem with that." I asked her if she was serious, and she said she was. She said " I love you. All of you."We were planning on going shopping the next day. I have never been out dressed completely in fem clothing. I have underdressed, but that's as far as that went. I was floored by the idea of her being ok with me being dressed in women's clothing in public with her. The next day, I was feeling both excited and nervous, was dressed exactly in what I had on the previous night. We had a lovely day shopping and having lunch together! Last night she asked me how I felt being in public dressed. I said wonderful! I asked her how she felt being seen with me. She said she was fine with it. I know that I can't overload her with this , but I am on cloud nine over this!

Wow. You're one of the most fortunate few of us. Take good care of her.

That is great, Camille! Good progress for sure.
You talk about wearing leggings and a sweater. Would you say you were presenting as a woman (makeup, hair, etc) or more of a MIAD look?
In either case, it is great that your wife is OK going out with you in your preferred look.

[Camille58]

I'm MIAD. I wear long, polished fingernails, shaved legs year around, and I'm starting to wear eyeliner. But, I definitely am very comfortable in an in-between mode. I don't know if that's the final destination of my journey, or a stop along the way!

Camille, I love to read posts like this, you are one very fortunate girl!

That is great. Hope for more of the same, without overloading her tolerance.

[Natalie5004]

Very nice. Now don't over run her.

[ColleenA]

What a great day! Be sure to do something special for her in return.

Sounds like the cat's out of the bag!:heehee:

Congrats on what was for sure the best day ever. Shopping dressed with your wife is the most amazing feelings. And yes like many have said do something very special for her.

[Jenn A116]

What an awesome couple of days!!! Be sure to be extra nice to that woman. :)

[Sometimes Steffi]

Great day for you. I just love it.

But, even if my wife offered me a excursion shopping together, I'd be reluctant to accept. She know a lot of people and if they recognized her they would recognize me. My clothes and makeup would not be a sufficient disguise. And that's not the way I would want to be outed.

[Camille58]

Thank you all for the kind words! It really means a lot to me. This site has been a godsend for me! And, yes, it really does feel different, in a good way, now. My wife is a lot more open about my dressing in front of her! I'm thrilled and at the same time nervous because I know from being here that I really need to be careful going forward. Letting her evolve in her own way and time is going to be my mantra.

[Fiona_44]

Your approach is obviously very respectful of your wife's feelings and that is nice to see.
