My wife and I have been together for 17 years, second marriges for both of us. She went through some serious health issues early in our relationship and I nursed her through it for 3 years while being the sole breadwinner. She knew that I loved wearing women's panties and was fine with that as long as my crossdressing did not go any further, so we kind of settled into a don't ask don't tell relationship with me being allowed to underdress.
Over the past year she has had new health challenges which has left her very weak and unable to work. I changed jobs to be closer to home without any travel so I could earn a living and still take care of her and the house. I work fulltime and spend my evenings and weekends cooking, cleaning and caring for her.
About 2 months ago she sat me down and we had a serious talk. She knows that her condition will not improve and she is grateful that I take such good care of her. She said that while I was at work she had seen in my browser history that I frequented sites such as this along with many women's clothing sites. She went through this forum and had a lot of questions answered. She had always joked about me coming home and being Susie Homemaker and asked about my dressing desires. I told her that I am straight and dedicated to her but that I would like to develop more of Ellen Jo. She asked who that was and I explained that Ellen Jo is my feminine side that allows me to work in a machine shop and come home and become a housewife. She actually laughed and and said that I will be Susie to her and that it is ok for me to dress more feminine. I told her that I did not want to fully dress daily but would like to come home and slip into some flats, with a skirt and maybe a tunic top with a camisole underneath. She said that sounded fine but that some panty hose might look nice. She also said that she was glad that I did not want a bra and boobs. That was something that she is not ready for. She helped me measure and order some nice skirts, cami's and some ballet flats.
Now I come home, shower (shave my legs when needed) and become Susie in the evening. I promised her that I would not go out in public and would keep Susie in the house which is fine with me. I am not passable in anyway, just a man in a skirt puttering around the house doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen. When I am working outside I am wearing jeans and flannel shirts as the man of the house. She noticed that as Susie I do not get as frustrated and am calmer than I use to be. She is thankful for my help and told me that she hopes that Susie will make me happy.
I can't tell you all how much this means to me. I may only have her for a few more years with her (I am 59 and she is 61) and she hopes that this brings me a little happiness in our current situation. Sorry about the long ramble but this event is a complete turnaround for her. I love her so much and am so happy that she is in my life.
