Told My Girlfriend About My Crossdressing

[RebeccaLynne]

Last Sunday evening my girlfriend and I were lounging on her bed, deciding whether or not to watch a movie, or just talk. Well, seemed like the perfect time to "make a clean breast of it" (pun intended), and that's what I said to her. We've been dating for six months, and are very happy together. She's very feminine, artistic, and intelligent. So I said, "you know how you like to be attractive, desireable, sexy, and pretty? Well, I do, too!". I told her she was in exclusive company, as the only other person who knows is my former wife, who has kept the knowledge confidential. I was dreading my girlfriend's reaction, prepared for the worst, but hoping for the best. She was great! She said she had recognized that I exhibited a degree of femininity in my personality, but hadn't heretofore imagined this particular facet. She asked if I went out dressed, and I assured her that this was a very private activity, and that I wasn't interested in men, adore women, and seek to emulate them. She was supportive, albeit somewhat surprised and mystified, and said she had questions. I promised I'd do my best to answer them. We talk every night on the phone, and we'll be seeing each other this weekend as usual. I'm so glad I told her. Now she knows all of me. No secrets. I'm so lucky!

Good for you Rebecca! There are so many posts from those who finally told their partners after many years of marriage. Telling ones girlfriend early in the relationship helps to avoid many problems. If she is not comfortable with crossdressing and sends you on your way it is a sad situation but better than living a lie for many years. If she is cool with the idea you have just won the lottery.

Good luck Rebecca, it sounds like you are off to good start.

Great start, Rebecca!!! I told my wife years ago when we were dating and it became clear to me that "engagement and wedding" were in our future. I absolutely did not want to go forward with something that important being hidden!!! I know of so many, as I am sure you do, who have lived with who and what you are being hidden from the person who is supposed to be their soulmate and split-apart -- 10 years, 20, 30 . . . That is no marriage, and moreover it is making a decision for another that is not your's to make.

At any rate, thank you for sharing your wonderful news!!! You have shown us grace, insight, dignity, and intellect!!! Keep us posted!!!

Wonderful Rebecca:D it sounds like you are off to great start.

[Wenda]

Absolutely the right move. Risky, but so glad it worked out!!:thumbsup:

[RebeccaLynne]

to the unveiling of my "gender-giftedness". As mentioned, we spent the weekend at her place. She had obviously considered the revelation at length, and her questions were totally relevant and non-judgemental. When did I first discover my interest in dressing female? What was the progression from childhood wearing of dresses and panties to the present elements of my enthusiasm for make-up, jewelry, and the wearing of pantyhose, girdles, bras, and outerwear? I answered all of her queries to the best of my ability, without reservation or hesitation. Not even my former wife knew I had dressed female prior to meeting her. Back then, I had marveled at her proficiency in applying her make-up, and wondered aloud as to how it felt. She offered to apply eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, and blush, to which I couldn't say no! She followed up with, "I wonder how you'd look in a dress?" (which included the appropriate undergarments, of course!). I was ecstatic! In my wildest dreams I never imagined meeting another woman so willing to participate in, and embrace, my femininity. And yet I have! There are women out there willing to love and respect us in our entirety. Stay positive and seek the companionship you desire. You'll find her, as I did. I love her!

Cool, now show her your wardrobe of fem clothes. Better known as stash...BJ

[Joy Carter]

Maybe too late to say this, but just go slow.

I'd worry that she might get fearful of this side of you, and see it only as perverse.:2c:

Good Luck With You New Love

[RachelDenise]

[racquel]

Congratulations.You are very lucky to be starting out with a clean slate,a shining example for those starting a relation-ship,on the joy of full disclosure.
Again,congratulations :love:

[JamieMTF]

I am happy for you, I was not that smart and my g/f found pictures of me dressed that I had taken back in August. Lucky for me she is a very understanding woman and now I have someone to dress with. We even went shopping on Sunday for some new items for Jamie.

[Kaylene]

Wouldn't it be sneaky-wonderful if we met a gal that wanted us to dress, not knowing that we already do? Then we could act like it's their thing that we somewhat reluctantly agree to. :heehee:

Oh to dream... :happy:

[RebeccaLynne]

as that's about how it went with my former spouse. I had complimented her on her make-up, and wondered aloud as to how it felt to wear it. She offered to make me up, and I readily agreed. Eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick, and blush. Untied my ponytail (1972, all the "alternative types" had long hair[still do!]), and brushed it out in a femme style. Next, she said, "wanna dress up?". Of course! Never did tell her I'd CD'd prior to that. Just her and my now- girlfriend know of my "secret self". Gotta love 'em! No wonder we wanna join 'em!
Girls, thank you all for the words of encouragement, and likewise, the cautionary reminders.
May you all enjoy your relationships, past, present, and future.
To do less is to deny the joy of living.:hugs:
