I am so very happy I no longer have to live in the closet with my cross dressing. On Thursday of last week, my wife, unannounced, came home two hours early from work. I knew as soon as I heard the garage door open the only option I had was to simply meet her at the door coming in from the garage and admit that I was a cross dresser. Her immediate reaction was not pleasant at all. I was given the silent treatment for one full day and then I could tell she was going to accept the fact that this was something that was simply a part of me.
A year or so ago, she had seen photos I had placed on our computer that I had thought I had erased. She seemed to be totally put off on even the thought of me dressing up in female clothing. She did say that there was no way, if she didn't know it was me in the photos, that she could tell it was a guy dressed up as a girl. She also said I had really great taste in the clothing, makeup, and accessories and that the wig I had chosen was very natural and was in great taste as well (it's a chin length bob that's just a shade darker with dark roots than my natural hair). But she was not happy about me cross dressing and would not approve of me continuing to do so. We didn't discuss the matter until this past week when I was caught for the second time.
After Thursday and then Friday went by this last week, I could finally tell that my wife, who loves me so much for who I have been over all of the years we've been together, would finally be fine with my cross dressing as long as I kept it private and didn't dress while she's at home with me. Now I'm hoping one day she may approve of me dressing at home with her occasionally present.
I'm just finally so relieved she's OK with my cross dressing in private and I no longer have to hide my wardrobe any more! I actually never thought she would ever be OK with the idea of cross dressing. This is a huge hurdle to overcome and I am so very happy she's understanding.
Now we haven't had our long winded discussion as to why I have a need to cross dress and I'm sure we'll have the discussion one day soon and I'll be the one who will initiate the discussion and make and attempt to give my most sincere and honest answers as to why I have this need to dress up like a pretty girl and take photos of myself while having my Nikon camera on a tripod using it on the self timer mode.
If you guys/girls had known me personally for the past 40 years, there's no way you would have any idea I would be the sort of guy who would enjoy dressing up like a girl. I have always played and coached sports for many many years and still enjoy sports and doing all the things that most guys do for fun. I have never done any drugs in my life and I may drink 6 to 12 beers a year with maybe the same amount of glasses of wine a year. I attend church almost every Sunday
I'll just wrap my post up with noting what a huge relief it is no longer having to keep this cross dressing a secret from my wife! I never thought she would be accepting of this desire of mine due to her conservative thinking when it relates to the subject of cross dressing. I will respect her desire of me keeping it private at home and to not cross dress in her presence for now.
That's it for now and I'm so happy I don't have to worry about being "caught" anymore. Those of you who have been in this situation with you're wife before can totally understand what a relief it is to finally realize you have a loving wife who loves you for who you are regardless of having the desire to cross dress...Good night everyone and enjoy the college football national championship tonight between Alabama and Clemson. It should be a real exciting game! Thanks for reading my post and write a response if you feel a need to respond. I would love to hear your feedback...Sincerely Scarlett...

I do wish I could figure out a way to share some of my photos, however, when it comes to technology, it's never been one of my strong suits. I have tried sending an email to myself with no positive results to shrink the photos to the small size needed to send the photos forward. I have read the suggestions on how to do so on this forum, but still can't make it happen. I hope one day I can figure out a way to share some photos so you can see that you can't tell I'm a guy while dressed as a girl. That's one of the most exciting things to me about this cross dressing process. It's taken quite a few years to figure out from professional videos just how to properly apply the makeup modestly and tastefully without going overboard with the application of the makeup. Finding out exactly what clothing, wigs, and accessories took much time and money as well but it was money and time well spent. I don't wear dresses or short sleeved tops. I really look best in short skirts, knit or wool long sleeved tops with a small elastine or spandex blend. I also wear three to four inch wide elastic width faux leather front belts. I wear mostly black tights shear to waist (usually Hanes brand which fit and feel the best) along with knee high boots or short booties that come up just about the ankle. Tights and boots are usually black in color. The lipstick and nail polish are always red in color and are usually almost a dead match in color as well. Chin length bobs are definitely my style in wigs which I only have three but wear the darker of the three with dark roots. The hair is brown in color with a slight auburn tint to it. Everything seems to really work well together and looks pretty and professional and sharp....That's it for tonight. It's late and time to hit the hay....Good night everyone and I'm glad there is a forum for us to share our thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. I had no idea that the percentage of guys who really love the feel and look of girl's clothing was so high. That was really nice to find that out...Thanks for reading my posts and again, good night everyone....Scarlett
