Hi girls,
Today I'm off from work (starting my vacation) and in the afternoon will get a chance to dress as Steffie. I'm going to New Hope, Pa with a couple of friends. I'll post pics from that trip after I get back. However, after that, Steffie will go in moth balls (i.e. on ice) for a short time.
My vacation extends into all of next week. On the surface my original instinct was that this was great and I could be Steffie all next week too! However, my wife is also off next week. My "other instinct" kicked in and said that perhaps my wife would not be happy if I were Steffie during this time frame? I tested this theory by telling my wife that we can do a lot of stuff as husband/wife during our time off. I then said that some of my CD friends wanted to go out at various times next week but I declined. She didn't answer with anything like it's OK and you can go out as Steffie. This proved to me that my hunch was right. Sometimes compromise is needed though and I realize that. I know after today Steffie will be pulling and tugging at me during the rest of this week and all of next week but I've got to resist and keep the big picture in mind. Considering my wife is pretty much tolerant and accepting of Steffie going out, that is a small price to pay. If my wife had been working next week, she would not have minded, I think. In fact during the month of December, I am off 2 more weeks (Christmas) and she is working. She said during that time, I can sometimes be Steffie.
I have talked to a lot of GG's I have met during my short time that I have crossdressed and even the most accepting ones have admitted to me (after my prodding) that, although they give their husbands the freedom to dress whenever they want, they still wish they would be their male selves a little more often. I don't want my wife to ever feel that way. I have gone out the last few Saturdays (as my pictures from other posts prove lol) but a happy healthy marriage may necessitate taking periodic breaks from our femme selves. There is still the Steffie within me though and I will have to tell Steffie to wait until December vacation. lol Besides my male half needs some vacation time too. Lately my male half has been doing all the work and Steffie has been having all the fun. At least Steffie still has something to look forward to, though, and all sides win I think.
All you girls have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Steffie
