Lose my panties
The doesn't like me to dress. So the other day while I was away she found some of my fancy panties lace and satin ones and took most of them.:sad: Said I had to many( 20 ) she left all the cotton ones and the ones that matched my bras plus the ones in the wash and what I had on. :)
Don't know what she thinking if she starting to except me dressing or just knows that I'm not going to stop.
Anyway she didn't take any of my other things.
-
this seems to be one of those, "why don't you ask her" moments. If you're curious why she took some and left others, you could ask. And if you wonder if this reflects any change in her attitude, its a fair question.
-
Just for argument's sake, what would her reaction be if you went through her favorite clothes and decided to take some of them away from her due to criteria of your own choosing? "You have too many pairs of jeans, so I'm going to throw away the last five pairs you wore."
Now, I don't for a moment suggest that you actually do this because it is childish and controlling, but I did want to put your wife's actions in perspective. Her actions might be justified if the person she was dealing with *was* a child, but you're an adult and she should discuss the issue with you if it bothers her.
-
it sounds like she may accept your dressing but excepts fancy panties.

Hi Glenda,
I agree with Eryn on this. As you have been up front with your wife about your dressing (DADT relationship) then mutual respect should prevail in all aspects (that includes the respect of both parties). If your wife is upset because of the style of panties and seeing them, then she should have discussed this with you. Throwing away your property was not a good way to handle things. IMHO I would ask her about it and why she chose to throw them out. If it is because you have too many then I don't get the logic. If it is because she does not like seeing the frilly type because it reminds her about your CDing then that is logical and a position to compromise from.

Hi Glenda, That's an interesting turn of events, Please do keep us informed on her next move.
One thing I wouldn't recommend is taking any of her things.
Are the panties her size , or a lot prettier than what she wears??
-
How do you know she took them? What (if she took them) did she do with them? Did she take them for herself?
-
Eryn, you nailed it, very well said, Glenda I would suggest you go take some of your wife's items, tell her and say now let's have a talk. They were mine and you have no right to take/steal them, if you want your things back then return mine and don't ever do it again. I'm me, GOD made, I'm not your property and you don.t own or control me.
-
Take her panties tell her she has too many leve her with just the Cotten ones
-
Taking the wife's panties because she took yours is childish and will get you nowhere. Two adults need to sit down and talk about this like adults.
-
Glenda,
I am so sorry to hear of your misfortune. I can't think of anything worse than stealing a girls panties. How outrageous can you get. Sounds like there needs to be a sit down between you two girls. Hope things work out.
-
Good excuse to go shopping. New panties are better anyhow. And sometimes Victoria's Secret has some really nice ones on sale.
-
Just a bit passive aggressive is she?
-
"...and took most of them..." Really? ???
And did exactly WHAT with those panties of yours? Cut them up? Throw them in the garbage? Give them to Goodwill? Keep them for herself?
Here's a news flash, Glenda...your problems go beyond DADT. Your wife is a control freak and a bully. I should know; I am married to someone just like her.
The difference is that in my case, I've "grown a pair" despite my otherwise feminine inclinations and no longer put up with that type of nonsense, nor the corresponding attempts at passive-aggressive manipulation. Sure, the sparks often fly as a result, but that's the price of admission when living with a person who has a very aggressive personality.
Your wife is treating you like a child, and you're being an enabler by letting her get away with it. What's next? Is she going to make you stand in the corner wearing a dunce cap, or give you a half-hour "time out" when you do something that displeases her?
History has shown time and time again that the only way to deal with bullies (and their next-of-kin - blackmailers) is to confront them head-on and not to back down. That's the only language that they understand, as they are not wired like the rest of us.
Time to stand your ground, Glenda - either retrieve those panties or replace them with even sexier, frillier ones to let your wife know in no uncertain terms that she is not the boss of you.
And while you're at it, shake the guilt over being a crossdresser, which is likely her pretext for lording it over you. There's nothing wrong with being transgender. It's WHO we are, and not a character flaw. Your wife is a bully. That's a behavior and WHAT she is. Bad behaviors can - and should - be changed.

Wow! I'm really sorry! What a hard position you find yourself in. HUG. Will you keep quiet to keep the peace, retaliate in kind, or try to initiate dialogue? No option guarantees success. No matter what you do there will be anger and hurt feelings.
If you just take it, as so many of us do, not only can you expect this to happen again in the future, but your feelings remain hurt. If you retaliate in kind there is a chance she could respect you for standing up for your rights as a human. I don't know your wife but I seriously doubt it would work that with my wife. It would however, give you a sense of revenge and cause her to feel the same violation of self she caused you. Trying to open up dialogue, my personal favorite, is probably the scariest of all. It rips life out of the comfort of DADT. The results of talking to her could be anywhere from "a new day dawning, a real turning point in your marriage leading to they lived happily ever after" to "get a real good attorney".
I have no advise to offer. I hope whatever path you follow brings some measure of peace to you both.

The GG's deal with competition on the basis of femininity constantly and adding a CD boyfriend to that list maybe just too much. She may be wondering just how far you want to go with this CDing. I see leaving the "practical" ones as some sort of compromise in her mind. Think about what goes through her head if she wears frilly ones like you had.
As just about everyone here knows there is some "sitting down and talking time" coming soon. You do need to ask her what she's thinking when she edits your clothing drawer. Without asking, it really is impossible to know for sure. If you have any love for this person you owe her the time and effort to find out. When she comes to you and tells you she knows better what is good for you that is a big warning sign.
-
Sounds like she saw these items as being too feminine.
Apparently she can handle your dressing to a degree, but doesn't want to see you as being too feminine.
Of course, she should have discussed this viewpoint with you instead of getting rid of your things.
So, now y'all have 2 things to talk about; what she can accept/tolerate and respecting your boundaries.
-
As some of the other gurls have said: ASK HER WHY SHE TOOK YOUR THINGS!!!!!!! don't become argumentative but take the position that these are your things and she shouldn't have taken them without your permission. Sounds to me like she is trying a controlling tactic., be wary!!!!!!

Glenda, DADT does not mean that she can throw away your things. It means that she knows but does not want to acknowledge. Throwing out your panites is acknowledgment. Time to talk about the boundries. She obviously wants to impose hers on you without respecting you. My wife and I were DADT for many years but she never threw out any of my things if she found them or I left them out. She is very accepting now and has gone through my panty drawer and laid out some rather ratty ones (I have a hard time throwing anything away) She had bought me some very pretty new ones that matched hers and was just making room. Even then she asked first.
You need to talk because as you know this is not going away.
Good Luck

Glenda, I wish I could offer advice that hasn't already been provided. I'm sorry to hear that she would do that to you. If I can't offer advice I can at least offer support and well wishes. I hope you can get this resolved without things getting out of hand.
-
I wouldn't put up with this type of behavior, if you let it go it will only get worse. How you choose to deal with it is up to you but do not let her get away with it.
-
As others have commented this is an example of very controlling behavior. How would she feel if you sorted her lingerie drawer and threw out those items you felt did not look good.
If it were me I would push back hard. I have often had complaints about the size of my collection of female clothing but we both know it will not change.
-
Talking is in deed where this should go. Just my 2 cents.

That would not go over well with me

I'm wary of saying too much in these situations other than respectful communication is required between the two of you. If it requires mediation by qualified and licensed counsellor to get the issue(s) resolved, so be it. That being said, your SO's behaviour is not impressive.
It's my impression there is more to the story than the vanishing panties; it's not for us to determine exactly what that might be.
