For years I have been able to sleep in nightgowns of which I own two(single color gowns). The two that I own are satin because I love the feel of the material. Lately my wife has been telling me that I should try a cotton as it is much cooler to wear during the summertime. I never bought one as they were either too frilly or too feminine in color and in print and my wife has told me that she would not want to see me in anything that was too feminine. So I never purchased one to try.
Today we went shopping at a mall and we bought some skin care products for her. Then she and I went into a store to look at clothes. She went to the lingerie department and started looking through nightgowns as she needed a new one for herself. Then she continued looking through the nightgowns and pulled out one in my size and asked me what I thought of it. I told her the size looked right and asked her if it was too feminine looking for her to have me wear. She said that she would be fine with me wearing it and she was insistent on me trying a cotton one.
I told her it was more feminine than anything I would pick, as it was frilly on the hem and across the bust. Also it had a very floral pattern. She said that if I was going to continue down this path (which she does not really like and does not want to see anything more than what she has already accepted me doing) that I should at least be comfortable. She then proceeded to the counter and bought it for me, along with her nightgown!
I was surprised to say the least, and when we got home, she laid out all the skin care products and said that we would talk about them in the morning, as she wants to teach me about them and that I might wish to use them as well!
I must say that after my first night of sleeping in this gown, I was surprised to find just how comfortable it is to sleep in cotton and now have three nightgowns which I can wear without making my wife uncomfortable.
Looking forward to trying the skin care products this morning as well.
I truly love my wife for her efforts in finding a balance with me. She is the most wonderful person I know, and has been my best friend for over 45 years!
