I'm very happy to read all the comments here... Such kind and lovely ladies. It hurts to see how many must hide and feel alone though. This group is a great thing. 😊 thank you internet!! Lol.
Him and I are incredibly lucky. We really complete and compliment each other.
Hi Lexi
I've really enjoyed reading your thread and reading about how accepting you are. Your boyfriend is very lucky. I'm a gay crossdresser, and although my boyfriend knows, he doesn't really like it. It's not a don't ask, don't tell scenario, more a "he knows, accepts it's part of me, but doesn't want it to play any part in our relationship". So, I can relate to all those whose partners are not as accepting. Regardless of the gender of our partners, to be accepted, and not only that, to be happy to engage, is something that means the world to us trans folk, so I think it's great of you to be so accepting and encouraging of your boyfriend. And I wish you both the best for the future.

@jenni thank you and I'm sorry about your situation. Hopefully he'll get more into it someday. I absolutely love it. Yesterday we went makeup and shoe shopping. It's so much fun in and out of the bedroom 😁 most the things we get I'll be able to use as well haha.
It's such a great thing to share and experience
Well count me in to the Lexi fan club!
A couple of things occurred to me as i read about your bf (aka the luckiest guy in all time and space).
He may need equal amount of validation for his boy-ness, he may feel that the novelty of his dressing is more important than his heart, and (for me at least) the desire fades after a certain state of physical satisfaction has occurred. You might have to keep him hot and bothered for a week or two to keep him dressed and feeling sexy. This is me just projecting possible realities. Main thing, enjoy each other, be gentle with each others' hearts.

Hi Lexi
Having dealt with this for nearly 40 years I can vouch for those who have expressed that it never goes away. If I had met someone like you 20-25 years ago, I know for certain I would have progressed very quickly, and with the kind of loving acceptance you give, I probably would have begun living full time as a woman, and explored transition.
My life didn't work out that way...back then we didn't have the internet with all the successful examples of transition, easy access to buy stuff, and support mechanisms like this forum.
It may well go beyond the bedroom. Only time will tell. But your SO is truly lucky to have an amazingly supportive person like you to help her find herself.
In my case my wife of 14 years and I are making it work--for the foreseeable future, at least! So it can work...
Cheers and good luck!

Aww thank you Tanya and shibumi!!
I love him more than anything. I don't care where this road takes us. My love and support will never change. I will only love more and more!!
The dressing is about to leave just the bedroom already lol. This weekend we're both going to get all cutesie and go for a walk in a nature preserve. I'm ecstatic. :)
