[SIZE="3"]My wife and I share clothes and everything. There was a time that if an issue arose or an argument ,about anything ,when I was dressed, I would begin to get undressed. My wife said that that infuriates her! She told me that if we are arguing then Kelsy was going to just have to stick around and deal with it:eek:

I just had a really interesting run in the other night, AND yeah SHE is accepting, but just kinda shy to it.. My wife told me, that "AS long as I am a GREAT husband and provider and give her lots of Love", Then she will accept me, "NO MATTER WHAT!!".. I am sad for the poor soles who do not have the same gift and go through the other realm.. My heart goes out to you all.. Just please read AND "PLEASE", Tell them early in the relationship!!!!!, As I did not. My best advise!!
I have a very supportive wife. I can see I'm not the only one. She shops for clothes and jewelry for me. I can't express how much I love her.
My wife knew I use to dress, but doesn't know I still do. But other than that she is totally againts me dressing. So I would have to say Unaccepting SO.
Tammi, this is a good poll. It is great to know our spouses our so OK with it all. Maybe there is hope that further acceptance within society is coming. At the workplace, etc.
Somehow I still think we are not getting all the replies from the negative side. The numbers just seem a little high on the accepting side when you peruse past threads on this subject. Maybe it is just harder for those in unaccepting relationships to vote here. Still, the poll has a lot of merit and it cannot be THAT much off.
Maybe it is the positive effect of this site. As more of us become members and our SO's see it is possible to marry CDs the numbers increase.
Maybe we need to start a secondary poll where we can determine how this site has influenced members and spouses by encouraging CDs to come out and spouses to work through the issues!
I have a wonderful SO that is so accepting and loving of my cding that I really do not always deserve her. She wants to take Michelia out shopping and dancing and drinking and out with the family on little outings. Her 10 year old and my 7 year old want to do this too. They are also very accepting and encouraging. But daddy is a wuss and keeps all the fun at home!
Michelia
I voted "accepting and supportive", although it's very early days. I told my wife a couple of weeks ago. We had a chat for an hour or so. She said she was glad I had told her because "it is part of who you are" and then she:
-- gave me a selection of make-up products (and a drawer to keep them in)
-- gave me a make-up lesson
-- let me rummage through a selection of old clothes she was about to give away, and keep anything I wanted. She gave me some wardrobe space, and the next day she went out and bought me a bra as a surprise.
I'm realistic enough to know that there might still be a problem or two along the way, but for her initial reaction alone, she gets the top vote. An amazing woman.
It may not be as bad for those of you in serious relationships as it may seem at first glance. My wife had dropped hints while watching movies, etc, that she had no tolerance for CD. I took an enormous gamble, when I could no longer stand the repression, and IT BLOODY WELL WORKED! She told me tonight that she finds panties in the sack a turn on, and is a little disappointed with the limited capabilities of my current stash.
Of course, who can say how your situation will play out when you come out, but it has been extraordinarily surprising & positive for me.
Keep the faith, Ladies.....
