Well girls, wife has asked for a divorce. She has decided that I can't be permanently converted, and she is tired of trying. I am surviving so far.

Thank you thank you thank you to all of you who kept in touch this year and helped me to keep my sanity through this. Hopefully I will be back now on some regular basis to enjoy the fellowship.

Thanks girls ! Don't be sad for me though, at least I am not living every moment waiting for another nuclear explosion.

Through this year I have had to endure hundreds of crossdresser son telephone commercials, Eddie Izzard Special announcements, Trans America and Kinky Boots movie stuff, crossdresser jokes on television, and tons of other stuff which brought her wrath down on my head when it appeared. I have been yelled at for touching her pocketbook when trying to be nice and pass it to her across a table, bombed for having a pink oxford shirt in my closet, and for walking too slowly past the WalMart women's department.

What's that sound I hear? Why, it's the sound of QUIET.

That's the spirit. Seriously, nobel effort on trying to make it work but IMHO you are so much better off. I'm sorry for leveling judgement against her, but anyone that would turn Trans America into club to beat you over the head instead of seeing it for the touching story it is, ... well, that's just plain wrong.

Go live free little brave fawn it's whole new world and it's all yours!

It's a sad thing to hear of a break up from anyone and I feel saddened for you ,but like you say you have the quiet. But don't dwell on it. Be strong and try to make the best and enjoy the extra dress time that you get. Hopfullyyou will meat someone else eventuality that will be love you for you and cope with your dressing.

I'm sorry to hear. When one door closes, another opens. You have my support. My only suggestion is to retain good legal counsel so that your rights are protected. Upset and grief over the divorce can lead to some very bad decisions if you do it yourself.

Wife sweetly informed me grown kids were pestering her for divorce answers and if I didn't tell them....well.....anyhow, better from me than her so, the kids now know about my gender issue. Wonder where this saga will go next?

They say time heals everything, I went through a divorced because of my crossdressing. No kids were involved but the ex-wife called everybody up on my side of the family and let them know what I was dressing in woman's clothes and in her mind I was gay.
She forgot to mention about the affair she was having for over an year and why I couldn't' pay my bills.
Took a long time to be able to face my sisters and mother and to this day I still live over hundred miles from them.
One of the neighborhood friends that I grew up with committed murder suicide and from that day forward why I got divorced didn't seem like a bad deal to my family.
To them I may be strange in some way but I don't do drugs, have at times drank way too much but if I feel I a need a drink whatever is bothering me, it will still be there tomorrow.
Just accept yourself and be yourself they will come around.
Sorry just got carried away.

Well, Emily, that's just the pits! However, I'm glad you took the high road with your kids. It was much better for them to hear about your gender gift from you than to allow someone else the opportunity to distort the truth into something else.

i wish I could tell you where this was all going to end up... sorry, can't do that. But whatever the outcome, you will have the peace of mind in knowing that you did everything you could to make it work. Grieve for the relationship, then get on with living... there's still lots to do! :hugs:

Emily Ann

You said the Kids know,did they accept the fact that there dad cross dresses?if so that is a step in the right direction,Im sure that it will get easyer as time passes, invite them to your place and let them know that you will greet them as Emily , If they show up you:ll know that they still love you, give them time : as for the other half, new doors will be opening up for you and make every day count, Life goes on, just like the old TV show, good luck Charolette:love:

My wife recently threatened to divorce me because I can't give up my crossdressing (I do it in private and on business trips, she has never seen me dressed).

Now she's also threatening to tell my 3 boys (ages 22, 20, 16).

I'm totally going crazy over this.

I honestly can say I feel your pain.

How did your kids take the news? Of the Divorce? Of your crossdressing?

Cheers,

Satin...

Darling once the descion is made, My experience is that you will have a big sense of relief-----much less stress in your life and although it's sad to end a chapter in your life, it is exciting to start a new one-----good luck.

Best wishes, Emily. I guess some of us worry about our marriage taking a similar direction. It seems it can happen gradually or suddenly based on comments from others here and there. It can be so uncertain with the pattern of variable tolerance. My wife bought me some tights today, so one for the plus side. Its day-to-day. It must be very hard on women not accepting of transhusbands. Joni

Emily Ann

Oh Emily I feel so sad for your heart and soul I have been the same but it got nasty because a lot of money was involved... the school where the children go was informed, my work partners were informed, our bank and the list goes on. However it soon becomes like someone has removed a huge weight off of my shoulders... I too tried to stop this crossdressing throwing all away but the compulsive urge is too much and found myself building up a wardrobe again... I am sesitive and have female qualities and feel how other people are... I say good for you a new adventure is just starting Get a flat and do your own thing cook your dinner dressed do your housework dressed please yourself
Love from Aus:hugs:
