Well, I'm sitting here, and can't sleep. I'm up, thinking about something that occurred a few days ago. My mother in law was talking to my wife about divorcing her step dad. Apparently this has been an on going issue. She told my wife she wished she could find someone like me, who had no problems, and a good head on their shoulder. Some how....this conversation turned to my wife informing my mother in law I am a crossdresser. I've had positive reactions from other family members, but I didn't want to put HER side of the family through this.
My wife told me the craziest thing. I was actually sweating after she told me what she did. My wife said my mother in law described it as "interesting and not something to think of as a problem." She said she doesn't view me any different and wants to SEE ME DRESSED! OH MY GOD! I don't even know. This is someone I promised to protect their daughter, keep her, and be the man she needs me to be. Doing something like that, just....eeks me. It doesn't sit right.
My wife goes on to say "You don't have to, but she really wants to see. I told her I would show her a picture or something, but we were invited to come over tonight." So, with all of these things in my head, I told her I didn't feel right going. I felt like her parents would feel weird. PLUS, I would have to answer all of those magic questions again. So, we didn't go, and my wife told me she told her to show me that there is nothing to be afraid of. She said I need to be more open with people about it. I agree to some degree, but I don't know where I'm sitting on this issue. Really just thinking at the moment.
