More then I could ever expect

[Maria 60]

We went shopping yesterday and my wife bought a dress at the store and told me she bought the similar one from Amazon and whichever one had the better quality she was going to keep and return the other one. When we got home the dress was delivered and she instantly seen the quality on the Amazon one wasn't as good as the store one.
I went to take a shower and when I came back my wife told me she went to return the dress and Amazon gave her credit and didn't want the dress back and to donate it. So she said if it fits me she will donate it to the Maria foundation.
I tried it on and it fit perfect and went outside to start the BBQ and when I came in she was trying on the other one and it was perfect on her. She then went to get changed and I went out to attend to the meat and when she came outside she kept the dress on. I asked her I thought she was going to get changed and she told me she thought that we could match tonight. That was very flattering for me and we ate dinner and after we cleaned up she sat on the couch and some memories came up on her phone. She asked me to sit next to her and we could view the pics together. I didn't realize it at first but there was no better feeling that I could explain that when I looked down to see both our legs hanging out of the matching dresses side by side. I couldn't explain this feeling of excitement and most of all still disbelief and I wish I could have just froze this moment forever. As much as she supports my hobby when I'm dressed she goes out of her way not to touch me or give it any attention. Last night wasn't planned and it just came out of the blue and it really felt great, almost a feeling of being excepted. I could only wish for more moments like this but they are far from many. I guess a bitter sweet moment, it was amazing to me but don't know if it will ever happen again. But I guess I should be happy it did.

I'm in a similar situation. Mostly she tolerates at best and hates seeing me dressed. But at times she is more amiclable than others. There must have been something in air yesterday because she too was on a favorable mood yesterday too. We went to mall - her wearing one of my outfits (skirt and blouse) and be in women's denim shorts that don't look any different from men's and s women's top that isn't too feminine. It would be easily noticed of you looked somewhat intently. At the mall we tried on skorts together. We bought me a new skort and a new chemise (which we have matching panties for) I even got to wear them to bed last night. We even came home and tried on dresses together later on the evening from our closet. I could tell her agreeableness was waining - she kept giving me unpleasant looks as i tried on dresses. It's nice when they can give is a little leeway.

Sounds like a great evening Maria

That?s amazing Maria what a great night for you!
The acceptance moments are so nice. My wife surprised me with some nail care items a couple days ago - colored polish and a couple other items. I asked her what bought this on and she just said well they were having a sale.

[Heather76]

Cherish that moment. For the longest time my wife would lean forward to kiss me without our bodies actually touching (when I was dressed). Over time, that has changed. Now, I get a tight hug and embrace while my forms are pressed against her boobs. It's a great feeling that she has come to accept my CDing to that extent. I get acceptance/tolerance but not support. Some day that may come.

We should all always be thankful for whatever level of acceptance we can get. There's always seemingly greener pastures juuust out of reach, and wouldn't it be nice to have just a _little_ bit more? Yet, there are many of our sisters here who have nothing, or almost nothing, in terms of support.

Heather; my wife is happy to give me tight embraces too when I am dressed with forms. Recently though, we hugged and she said my breast forms (silicone, and fairly soft) hurt her.

For my own bit of acceptance story; I've been cautious about being dressed in garter belt and stockings with my wife. It's yet another step further into femininity. I recently acquired a garter belt that was actually made to be useful, as opposed to the cheap bedroom throwaway ones you often see online. I haven't known how she would accept me wearing it. She's fine with me wearing pantyhose, but this seemed...another level. This morning, I was on a computer wearing my sleep attire; bra, forms, and nightgown. Usually that's paired with pantyhose. My wife has seen me many times like that. This morning, I had on stockings and the garter belt instead of the pantyhose. My wife came into the room, hugged me, we chatted, and then...(self censoring here)...things happened while I was dressed like that. I didn't expect that to happen. Not that she's ever rejected that, but I try to keep that out of the bedroom. She doesn't absolutely support my crossdressing, but maybe 98% (which she agrees with). Yet, what happened this morning is something many CDers can only dream of. I am incredibly thankful!

Maria, your wife is such a sweetheart you are truly blessed to have a spouse that supports your Crossdressing.

[Charlotte Sparkle]

Definitely blessed to have a supporting Wife. A moment to cherish Maria.

Maria, That is wonderful. I'm glad that your wife is so open. My wife is supporting, but she would never wear the same outfit as me.

[JoyceAnn]

How sweet that she wanted the dresses to match! Moments of closeness like this are wonderful and are to be cherished.

[April Rose]

My wife and I went to the meetup last weekend in matching boat neck tops and blue skirts. A little young for us, perhaps, but it's just a fun thing we do.

Maria, we are so lucky to have spouses that can see the fun in our situation.

[Stephanie47]

Maria, needless to say that I and others are envious of your relationship with your wife.
