Bossy wife

Sounds like a great situation! I'm still navigating things with my wife, I'd love for her to love my dressing.

What a lovely problem. My wife is so accepting and thinks I should wear my black leggings out more. Yet I am just not hat ready to mix guy/girl mode as of yet. It's either all or something underneath.

It has been a couple of weeks since I last dressed fully, still underdress daily with panties and occasionally tights. Bought lots of new outfits and extras including padded underwear to give me more lift and shape, a corset and new wigs. I can not wait to have a full day of dressing.
My wife and I are also going to a meet at a hotel next month with other cross dressers. This will be my first time outside to meet others. I?m so nervous and need to perfect my look. My wife is more excited about the event than I am. I want to do it but terrified at the same time. X

That is such a great situation to have. Having a partner who accepts or tolerates is maybe more than a lot of people get. But having one who is fully supportive and encouraging is getting even further. Obviously some of us have that but to hear another who has that type of relationship is very nice to see.

My partner is fully supportive and encouraging as well. She is always willing to let Natalie come out and she has been exceptionally instrumental in every outing by simply suggesting it be a "Natalie" weekend. And even when I don't think I look great, she is always complimentary and has often helped with makeup as necessary. She is far more patient than I likely deserve.

Interestingly, part of the reason I still have long hair is because of her. And, while we haven't discussed it much, I have a feeling part of it is because of Natalie. She has basically refused to allow me to cut my hair short! Not that I really want to (I started growing it long because guy me likes it and it was long when we met) but it is still wonderful to have.

Last night, I was wearing leggings and a top... I started to change to take the dog out and my wife said, "stop! Don't worry about it... Seriously! Just do it.". I did and the world continued to spin! I'm so lucky!

I recently started a new relationship. My new partner has been strongly encouraging me to "be my Authentic self'. It's to the point where I am starting to realize my own anxiety and internalized transphobia is my only real limitation.

I can only wish my wife were supportive. She's accepting and never complains about my dressing. As mentioned before, the only real ground rule is no friends or relatives discover Heather. I'm fine with that.

Natalie, I would love to grow my hair long, that would be amazing to not have to wear wigs. But I do love my guy self too and love my short hair. I think I will ask my wife what she thinks, I know she lis only attracted to me as a guy, not as a girl.

Verona, I think that is a big thing with the idea of growing long hair: you have to want it in both guy and girl mode (for those of us who swap between the two anyway). I don't think it is a great idea to try to grow your hair long if you don't want it in guy mode as well. I will admit that part of the reason I have it long, beyond my partner not wanting me to cut it, is because of Natalie as I have thought about it being a little too long for day to day life. So I can understand not wanting to have to deal with it all the time.
