In doing research to bring the crossdressing topic up to my wife I was wondering if there were things your SOs like about your feminine side? It doesn't have to be dressing related or even when you are dressed.

For example maybe you like shopping more than the guy next door and she enjoys that. Or you buy your SO gifts that other guys wouldn't have the nerve to purchase. Or that you maintain your appearance in drab mode and don't have the 50 long weird eyebrow hairs. Or sharing clothes, etc.

Just looking for positives about having a femme side.

Hugs,
Tabitha.

Whilst I was repressing my CD self I was moody, closed-in, not very good company a lot of the time. Since Ruth came out, we are both much brighter and nicer to know. I am also able to express my feelings much more easily and my wife says she finds me much more affectionate than I was.
We can also have conversations about clothes, hairstyles etc. which she finds very enjoyable. I was always prepared to go clothes shopping with her but now she enjoys it more since she knows she can ask for a feminine viewpoint. (She is still not keen on going shopping for clothes for Ruth however.)

Going to movies that would be considered chic ficks. Doing the cooking, cleaning up around the house. Talking to her and lising. Shoping (no) I like to shop more than she does.

Not really.
She does not like my feminine nature being to overt nor any conversation about what I would like to wear. However, she does like my cleaning and housekeeping and readiness to watch chic flicks and never give her a hard time about buying any clothes.

A girly husband is not her thing.

Although I like/ love both sides :D What I like about Shers girl side
Shopping we have fun for sure doing that:battingeyelashes:
Girl Spa days or nights:daydreaming:
Going out as two g/fs
Dancing ...Sher loves to dance...guy side...nope
Our own private slumber parties.
I have a girlfriend as well as a boyfriend
Double our wardrobe :thumbsup:
Sher has just the slip or bra for that new dress I might have bought and I can borrow it AND VISE VERSA:D
Sher is a lot easier to buy gifts for.
When Sher buys buys me clothes, she knows the correct size
Will not complain if I wear curlers to bed
Lets me try new do's on her hair
Never complains about leaving the delicate undies out to dry.
Satin and velvet are more snuggly :o
I can borrow Shers jewlery and vise versa:)
Understands why I go through so many pairs of stockings.
Does not expect me to get ready for a night on the town in 15 minutes
I can ask her how a outfit looks and get a truthfull answer
When she says "Hon, you look nice." I know She really means it.
Its like having a live in cosmetologist.:D.
Dress her up in a French Maid's Uniform and ohhh la la
Accepting me as I am and I totally do her as well.

Its fun and brings a closeness thats hard to explain and since you said you are researching to be able to tell her.........please stress to her you are the same person she has always known...............nothing has changed....you love her.................you were afraid to tell her ( I think this will be the thing that will upset her most after she gets her head around it...the secret) answer all her questions honestly and have info for her books ect...this site....when and if she wants them. Be prepared best wishes:hugs:

Debbie likes everything about my femme side, and she accepts it as the totality of the me that is me. From dressing and the (fun!) sexual side of it, to the fact that she says that I am more sensitive and caring in general and not all macho, she likes the girl within me, and that makes me feel very loved.

No, she doesn't like anything about it. She only makes an effort to tolerate it, not to accept it. Whenever I try to broach the subject, she tries to change it as quickly as possible, or she just gives me smart-ass answers/ doesn't take me serious. It's frustrating :( I want to involve her NOT just for my benefit, but because I want her to know what is going on, that I have nothing to hide (it's called being honest, I think?). I know that it is "weird" for her, and I just wish there was something that could help us compromise.

My wife is very happy with my fem side. She loves the sensitivity I have for her problems and issues and joys. She loves the way I appreciate her taste in clothing and how we always a have great time shopping together. She loves how I can share my own joys and trials of femininity.

In short, being TG has been a very powerful positive force in our lives.

Di -- How can I beat that list for you and Sher? I will say that my wife calls me her fashionista. She asks if this top will go with this bottom or whatever. I tell I don't know anything about fashion, but she says that I do. So, I play along and add my two cents.

Like Di, there isn't a thing about Kayla (DD's Girl) I don't love. But if you really want to get down to it... sure the clothes, borrowing, closes, spa nights, sharing, etc is nice...

But what I love the most is seeing the person I love truly happy. What isn't there to love about that?

Rachel Morley

I was wondering if there were things your SOs like about your feminine side?
My feminine side (in a general sense) is what she likes best! She says she could never be with a "regular guy" ever again. You see, my wife Marla doesn't really like guys much, she prefers a partner who is "more like a girl" (her words not mine) especially when it comes to personality and compatibility.

Our TG group the River City Gems (http://www.rivercitygems.org/) did some outreach at a college recently (it was a human sexuality class) ... and my wife was on the panel. During the Q&A session someone asked her: "What's it like being married to a crossdresser?".

She said (and I remember every single word): "I like it that my husband is in touch with his feminine side, I like it that he understands some of the things of what it is like to be a woman, I like it that he completely understands why it takes so long for me to get ready to go out, I love it that he understands that how I can look in the mirror one day and feel confident and cute and that the very next day feel the opposite, he knows this because he feels this same way about himself when he dresses as a woman, there are many good things about being married to a crossdresser. Unfortunately there are a couple of bad things too (at this point I was worried about what Marla might say) she said: "The secrecy is the worst part. Having to hide this part of our lives from Rachel's family and not being able to be open about it as if it was "normal". Our neighbors have never been told but I do think that they do know unless they think there is another woman living in our house with us as they see two women going out on the weekends. The other thing is not being able to be affectionate with each other in public when Rachel is in girl mode. I still know that it's my husband when he is dressed .... but he's just looking different and to me kinda cute, but I can't hold his hand in public or kiss him if we go out as "two girls". We have to pick our moments, that's why we like going to LGBT venues because it's normal for for "girls" to hold hands or kiss."

I know this is unusual, but this is how it is in our marriage. The other thing that my wife tells me all the time that there is nothing wrong with a guy wanting to "feel" pretty. She also likes it that I am "quieter and softer" when I dress. If, like me, you have a gentler personality anyway, but that it tends to come out even more when you dress, then that's good too.

So what I'm saying is, when I dress, it puts me in a different mind-set. A mind-set that influences certain personality traits in me and (in my mind at least) makes me feel better about myself whilst nurturing behavior that both me and my wife think suits me, and it also makes me feel pretty, happy and contented.

My SO is OK with it he doesn't understand the need to do it but is very accepting.He get comments from the people he works with when I have to pick him up from work every now and then.They think he has a girlfreind.
He does enjoy the fact I'm not too macho and a little girly.
I can still whip him arm wresteling.

My wife ain't exactly ecstatic about the feminine side of my wardrobe, but she openly appreciates my easy going nature, a factor she attributes to my femme crossdressing side. So unlike a lot of the rock ape knuckle dragging neanderthals out there!

09-16-2008, 05:33 AM
Since coming clean, my SO is a lot more relaxed and more the man that I met than the frustrated person hiding a secret. Now that he is relaxed and happy, that's the best for me :)

Other bonuses include my shoe pool being doubled :D

It is hard to attribute some qualities strictly to her feminine side as I feel they are present all the time: her sweet nature, her sensitivity, her understanding of me as a woman. And the cuddling! I love all the cuddling. But, we do most of that in guy mode.

She positively glows when she is dressed! She has gorgeous long, blonde, curly hair.

Some things that are strictly her: I enjoy her fashion sense. I value her opinion about what works with what. It is fun spending time in her closet putting outfits together. Just like spending time with a girlfriend. It is much more fun to go shopping with her than with him. Oh, and we went to see a chick flick together once, at her suggestion! And we're talking about doing a power lunch (wearing suits) together. If I forget something, I can always borrow one of hers. She knows how to undo jewelry clasps. I do not feel embarrassed about asking her to paint my nails. And I love her taste in the gifts she chooses for me. I cannot imagine ever wanting to return one. I'm sure there is more that I can't think of right now.

I feel a degree of complicity or a unique bond when we are together in public dressed (once we get past the stress) that I have not felt with anyone before.

What a nice topic for a thread. Thank you!
:hugs:

I've been having a bit more of a think about this. He's actually bringing out my feminine side more. I know this is daft but when he first showed me his stash I couldn't believe that he had some nicer underwear than I have. So I just had to go an get some more lacy stuff :D I tried on one of his skirts to show him why I don't wear that particular style, I have large calves and this skirt is a knee length flared skirt and I always said that style would look awful on me. Well, he proved me wrong as it actually looked really nice. Shame it was too small for me!

Since I told my wife well before our marriage 25 years ago she simply looks at Tami as an extension of the male she married. She also has a live in hair stylist, maid, makeup artist (who supplies all her MAC cosmetics) cook and girl friend.

Her only down side is that she is larger than me now and and wishes she could get into some of my clothes...

Then when we get home she will be upset with the way I was touching all the different clothes.
Sorry but part of what drives my dressing is the feel of the fabrics.

I was taken aback when my SO first told me she actually preferred Valerie to my all male version, which she found arrogant, aggressive, and impatient. There is no doubt that we are much closer now and I greatly enjoy it when she consults with me about her outfits and accessories. Life is much more fun!

She is totally supportive of my femme side and loves to look for clothes that would look good on me. She just found me a great pair of heels and she is totally wonderful. She knows that this is part of the person she fell in love with. She is into the sexual side of the CD thing and life is good. She likes to do our makeup together and then watch a good chick flick while all dressed up. Sometimes she wants me to be a man and thats ok with me, we like it all both ways, with me as a man and dressed up in femme.

I love Sarah's softer more caring persona. I love the amount of cuddling and unleashed passion, I always felt it was under the surface but now she is openly loving all the time.

I love that we talk so much more now. We kiss passionately now. Things Sarah couldn't do when trying not to have Sarah thoughts!!!

We love going for coffee and clothes shopping, chick flicks with Sarah and the list goes on.

I love her soft legs....

My first wife loved it for about 7 years. She liked everything I did that was considered "womanly" at the time (1968-1975) I also built our house and crewed formula cars and did a stint as a rocket scientist( not as smart as everyone thinks) but she turned over night. Came home and she was gone said she didn't like my XDing anymore. It was very sudden, never did figure it out. I've remained in the closet since then.

This morning my wife was not sure about the outfit she was putting to gather for the day, it was nice having a live in fashion consultant. She also likes having someone that will watch fashion oriented shows on TV with her.
She also likes borrowing Jewelry from me. But most of all she likes that I clean house, cook and do laundry, it frees up a lot of time for her to do things she would rather be doing.

Hi Tabitha,
I have copied an old post I did ages ago about the advantages and disadvantages of having a CD as a partner and below you can read what I put. I think though it is mainly accepting SO's who would see anything at all remotely advantageous about it. I think anyone who wasn't quite sure about her feelings toward it would automatically switch off to the advantages.


=Advantages

He loves to go shopping with you and doesn't mind how long you take in the shoe shops or boutiques.
You dont have to hide your latest new pair of shoes and lie when he finds them telling him that youve had them for ages
When you ask him if your bum looks big in this dress he's a tad kinder with the answer because he knows how hurtful criticism can be.
He has developed his dress sense to a standard that you can ask him for an honest opinion about what suits you and looks good
You can borrow his mascara when you have inadvertantly run out and are due to walk out the door at any moment
If you dont have the right coloured lippy for a particular outfit the chances are he does
He doesn't mind how many hand bags you have stashed in the wardrobe
You can borrow his clothes and sucessfully mix and match that new skirt you just bought
He always has two matching earings that you can borrow because you only have odd ones

The Disadvantages

He takes as long as me in the bathroom
He always wants to wear his nice black top when you want to wear it
He takes ages to get ready and makes you late
He can never decide which outfit to wear.

Told you it was fun. So now its your turn.
Take care
Bev

There are the little things: We now share facial-care products. We both get facials at the same place. She asks Tina's opinion since now she can get both a male and female opinion on any issue (Tina really tries to have a feminine perspective). As many others have said, Tina watches chick flicks where he doesn't.

But most importantly, Tina understands so much more than he ever thought of understanding. I can relate to my wife on a whole other level, understanding many of her day-to-day issues. That also means I can help her in ways I couldn't before. I really think that physically and mentally walking on the feminine side has brought us so very much closer, and has made her even more comfortable with our closeness and love.

best of luck!

My wife likes the femme side. She likes my taste in clothes that I buy her, the fact that I do not have a problem cleaning house or helping with the laundry. We know men that WILL NOT help out around the house. She knows that the femme side is what makes me....me. Plus, it was my birthday yesterday and she bought me 3 new chemises and 6 new pairs of panties!!!:D

09-23-2008, 09:53 AM
My wife seems to like all of it now that she's accepted it. There have been times that I haven't thought of dressing that she's actually suggested/encouraged me to. And I've really come to enjoy our time shopping together. In general, I think it's opened up a whole new, wonderful dimension to our relationship, which was very good to begin with!!

KimberlyS
09-23-2008, 11:28 AM
Tabitha, interesting topic. In the process of working through CDing issues awhile back my wife said that she married me for many of my feminine personality features. She just did not think of them as feminine at the time. Other than that she likes that femme time can make me more calm and less stressed. Otherwise she basically tolerates my CDing and wishes I did not need to wear feminine clothes or get out enfemme.

Yes. She just had her gel fill ins done and had no nail polish. I said I have the perfect colour and gave her some a light dusty pink of mine to use, she loves the colour and kept on looking at her hands every so often.

Ummm, yep know just how you feel, my SO hates it as well.
I dressed up on a boring winter day years ago and walked out and she turned a great feeling into a total nightmare.

I jokingly now call her a tight a** uptight biatch, lmao, even she chuckles on that one.
We hurl insults back and forth alot at eachother and most of the time its just kidding around and I laugh like hell at some of the stuff she says, but I really didn't appreciate her response that day, and to me it drove a wedge in between us that day and I still feel some resentment.

Mainly she borrows my clothes or makeup a lot.
I don't bitch when she spends a lot of money on makeup.

So yeah, having more clothes and makeup to use.

While my wife accepts my dressing, she's isn't overly thrilled about it. We can share skirts, blouses, blazers, camis and sweaters. So far we haven't come to blows over the same article of clothing :D.

She likes that I shave my under arms and, surprisingly, she likes the feel of my nightie when we make love.

My wife is "grudgingly tolerant" and that is only after seeing a therapist for several months to discuss my "problem" and how to deal with it. She comes from an old school strict catholic upbringing where men are men, women are women and nothing in between is "normal" or acceptable. She knows I cd but as long as their isn't any VISIBLE physical evidence of it and I don't talk about it, it's tolerated. Until the therapist came into the picture, divorce seemed imminent and obvious! She does disappointingly understand though that my personality, demeanor, likes and dislikes all come from having this strong feminine side and they are all part of what attracted her to me in the first place.

I fall into the "she hates it " category.Doesn't want to see it, hear it,or talk about it.I can certainly relate to a lot of the other posts here.The main problem, I believe, is that she doesn't want to learn anything on the subject,and bases her opinion on mis-information. But we're trying!

She feels safer. Which is very good because it means she relaxes. She had a dream the other night about having a bunch of her girlfriends over and one was trying on an outfit. Her friend was concerned I would see her changing. Then I walked by and I was all decked out in women's clothe. No one really took any notice, but the friend felt more comfortable, like maybe it wouldn't really matter. Then I headed into the kitchen and my wife's father was there. His marriage ended, in part, because of his relationship to crossdressing and the dynamic with his wife. In the dream, he's like "What this?"... very surprised.
She likes soft kisses.

My wife Nikki says I am her best shopping buddy and knows she can come to me for advice.

We have know each other for 18 years, she has know about my dressing for 17 years and we have been married for 16 years.

In the early days she was very accepting bought me clothes etc but by the time I had collected more dresses than her she had turned against it and didn't want to see me dressed anymore.

Recently her attitude has softened especially since I shed 3 stone in weight. There is now only one dress size between us and many of my dresses fit her, especially the bias cut ones.

In the past few months she has raided my wardrobe three times to borrow evening dresses for social functions, she has always nicked my stockings, nail polish and other make up sometimes mysteriously disappears from my box and finds it's way to hers.

She also frequently asks my advice on fashions and other girls things.

BUT if you asked her if there was anything she liked about my femme side I'm sure she would say no! She would go onto say that it's part of me, she's unable to change it, so she accepts it and sometimes uses it for her own advantage rather than pointlessly fight it against it..... but likes it? :eek: .... if only! :daydreaming:

Still I'm luckier than some and do have a couple of good female friends who do like my femme side

Love Di x

What other words are there for HATES IT, can't stand it, can you say Dicorce! I don't really know why. I think she has this fairy tale fantasy view of the world. Yo know the one where men are men and women are women. Thats all so black and white.
What I don't understand is that I do the cooking. I do the shopping. I get up in the middle of the night with the child. I bath, read and put him to bed. I sew on buttons when they fall off and love to watch " What not to wear " with her. I also can do all those " Male " things. Fix the toilet, repair the house etc etc etc.
If the list of GG stereotypical ideals are left to me and that is OK, why are the heels not OK?
