So, I've been fighting this urge to crossdress since I was about 8. It has always been in the back of my head that I want to dress up and look like a woman, but I've always kept it in check. I would buy one or two articles of clothing here or there, but I always was overcome with guilt and would get rid of anything I had within a few days. So, I spent quite a bit of time over the past few weeks and actually ordered myself a few dresses and complete outfits online.
Now I feel hugely conflicted. I've got all of this stuff now and it makes me feel so good to put on a cute outfit and walk around the house when no one is here. However, as soon as I take the cloths off I feel terrible. I'm not what my wife wants in a man. I'm not what my parents want in a son. I'm not someone who would be even remotely accepted if people knew about this side of my personality. I should probably not care what anyone thinks but that's a really hard thing to do when the people who mean the most to me would probably not be able to accept this side of me.
I'm feeling very broken right now as a person. Crossdressing is something that I think I need on a very deep level but I feel like I have to choose between being happy with myself and having the people in my life love me.
I don't know... Do I have to choose between being happy and being loved? It very much seems that way.
