my wife to me: "honey - try on this skirt..."

[Gabrielle Hermosa]

This one's more for those with accepting and participating wives.

Stopped in the forums to browse a quick few threads. My wife came in the computer room holding up a green miniskirt she wore many years ago (and looks mighty fine in).

"Here - come on. Try this on for me", she says.

So I did. She lit up with a great big smile and said I looked very good in it. Then she gave it to me to keep. How I used to love seeing her in this skirt. Now I'll be the one wearing from time to time... and she'll love seeing me in it.

For some reason, the moment just struck me as funny. Does anyone else get that (out of the blue) from their wife or SO?

You bet I do! My wife will come home with new clothes for us and mine are always girl's ones. My wife usually says something like: "I was looking through the clearance rack and I saw something that would be just perfect for you." Then she'll reach into the bag and hold up a dress or a skirt.

Great story! My wife's given me some workout stuff & a couple of hand me down's that are too large for her which is always thrilling! What a great feeling

[TxKimberly]

Rarely and it is a treat. :-)

[sissystephanie]

It is definitely a treat when that happens!! My dear late wife used to surprise me like that every once in a while. But most of the time I was shopping with her. I would pick out a skirt or dress for her, and she would say, "see if you can find one in your size so we can match!" Gotta love it when that happens!!!

[Teri Jean]

Since I'm widowed I do not get that but my sisters-in-law give their advice on what they think would be good. I like their help and honesty. Who ever helps you is someone to cherish.

You've got a great SO Gabrielle. I envy you.

[Kate17]

You are very fortunate ! Some of us can only dream of that day.

My SO gave me a tshirt last weekend that doesn't fit her anymore. I know it's not like a dress or anything, but it's a girls tshirt and would never be mistaken otherwise. I was pretty excited that she did that

[Jenniferpl]

Rarely happens to me but when it does, what a great feeling.

[joank]

Yes, and it was yesterday. The items were androgenous so it is not a great breakthrough but ...... She did ask my input on keepng or tossing clothing and that was nice to be in on the decisions. I guess some of my taste(s) are OK.

[Deborah Jane]

I went car booting with Sheila a few weeks ago and she kept on picking things up and saying things like..."This will look good on Debs" or something similar.
Also she regularly shows me things on webcam saying "Look what i bought for Debs".
Also i often get items through the post which she has bought me on E,bay and had sent direct to me

[janelle]

Do any of you want to adopt me so I can enjoy too? Your very blessed to a SO like that.

Hugs,
Janelle

[TJ Tresa]

Yes I have. Would you believe that my loving wife bought a new Easter blouse and skirt and when we got home she wanted me to try it on so she could how it look. Needless to say I was beyound excited, and very quickly change clouthes. Isn't great to have someone who accepts us. Thanks for the thread, Gabrielle. Hugs from TJ Tresa.

I am sorry for those for whom this doesn't happen, because I too can chime in and say that it is one of the most wonderful validation you can ever receive. This afternoon my wife offered some of her dress pants to me to wear in pseudo-drab mode and even that feels great. What I really love though is when we go shopping and she sees something femme and I say that I likes it or she'll look good in it, and she leans over and says -- not for me, silly girl, for you!

We were in Walmart the other day and I was looking at some women's suit-jackets/ blazers that had matching pants on teh sale racks. I held up the blazer and she said to buy it if I wanted it, knowing that I'd wear the outfit in drab mode. (sadly not in my size with the matching pants)

My wish for all who's SOs don't accept, or for whom it is rare -- may this come about for you too someday!

My wife works in womens retail, so to rationalize her purchases, she will get me something. The other day she came home with a few cami's for Billi. She can't pass up a bargain, with her 30% discount. Today we were moving some clothes from one rack to another. She said $%^$$$, I asked what was wrong? She said she found the LBD she got for my Bday, and forgot to give to me...BJ

[linnea]

It sounds wonderful.

[Kittykitty]

My sweetie pretty much fills out my wardrobe for me
Went I first told her, she made me try on everything of hers (twist my arm!) Ever since then, she's always bought me little presents, usually once a week or so.
Better than the presents, or maybe just different presents... is when she corrects herself on gender terms. She asked if I minded her calling me husband (yes, but she married one) and she's taken to being sensitive on all counts. She asked me how she should compliment me... was pretty bad? was handsom bad? I said simply, when in boy mode, compliment me (if you like) as a boy, and in girl mode, compliment me as a woman (if you like.) I was very touched that she would consider those things.

My first item of clothing (lingerie) came from my wife. She wanted to see me in a dress so the first was her dress (that was too wierd at that point to share dresses, but was neat the next time she wore it!!). She's also passed on various items of makeup! That's not to mention that she took me shopping to buy my first skirt, hold-up stockings, mascara, eye shadow...the list goes on and on! I just love her to bits!!!!

I am the green eyed monster here. I have not meet the right woman .......YET!!!!!!!

[tracigirl_tv]

Well, GF and I are not the same size, but when we are out shopping and she says "Traci would look good in this," yes, it is a major thrill.

As I've said, my gf is MOSTLY accepting, but she has done that from time to time. Sometimes though it's with a "Hey, wanna go put this on instead," sarcastically. All depends on her mood, I suppose.

[Angel.Marie76]

My SO has, on occasion, dragged me (willingly) into the bedroom and started going through this and that of hers.. something must have struck her fancy. Most of the time its usually in prep for a meeting or event I'm due to attend soon, so she knows I'm still struggling to match my way through the outfit ocean.. though more so it's to do with makeup. She'll just tag me with lipstick or shadow or something out of the blue.. It's nice when it happens but for me can sometimes be contradictory to the energy at hand. Good for you though, I know that it's nice to have an SO that is accepting (to whatever level).
