I have never been a reader of books, I just don't have the patience to open up a book and sit still and just read. Just not my thing. Sure magizines and their small articles are easy fast reads that I enjoy. I need things to happen FAST for me. Well the same hasn't been true about my crossdressing, it has been a slow and painful process at times. Someone on this board suggested we all need to get this book {My Husband Betty}, a true life account of life as and with a crossdresser. I got the book in the mail yesterday and took it to work. Yes I almost outted myself when a co-worker saw me carrying the book and asked , whats ya reading ?? my reply was nothing much, he went to reach for it and I held on tightly. I must say it is riviting to say the least. I am on page 59, maybe 200 or more to go and I am transfixed. When I say all of us can relate and idenify with scenes in this book and say hey that was me or yep that's my life So true. I left it at work locked in my locker and can't wait to resume reading later tonight. I can't believe I will read this book cover to cover, it is just not me. BUT I have to because it is about me and life and my relationship. I told the wife that I was ordering a book and I wanted her to read it, I hope she does. This Helen Boyd, the auther and wife of Betty has acted and portrayed how my wife acts to a degree and I say yes, that's her. Helen tells the truth like it is , she isn't painting a picture that all women should marry a CD cause we a such great ,sensitive people. It is hard work to be in a relationship with a crossdresser. I am about 1/4 into the book and I am hooked. The part I get is that we are all different, and that there is not one certain mold for us Complex sums it up. I can't believe I waited so long to read a book like this. I guess I have come to realize .... it is what it is
