After dating for a while and realizing that I was truly in love with my girlfriend (future wife), I opened up and shared with her that I liked to dress up as a woman. She really didn't understand it and at the time I really didn't understand it as well. But, she loved me unconditionally and we've been married for a long time. For many years, she didn't allow me to dress and then she came out of the blue several years ago and said I could dress up. She perceptively realized that I was rather miserable and not content and this was likely due to bottling up my femininity and not expressing it. She was correct. Since allowing me to dress, I've felt so much better, so much more comfortable and content with who I am and our relationship is now closer and stronger than ever. Nikki p.s. for us, our relationship is really one of love, sacrifice and accepting each other for who we truly are. My wife is simply wonderful and I don't take her for granted...not one minute!
