My wife has known about my crossdressing for years. She hates and and just wishes I would stop. We have been married 40 plus years and it has bubbled to the surface on several occasions. I put it away at times, but it comes back. Finally last year I think I just accepted myself for what I am. A good father, husband, and yes a crossdresser. Its as simple or as complicated as that.
Recently, there were a few more barbs thrown about how I ruined her life, etc. She wanted it to go away. We argued and eventually got got pissed at each other and tabled it. The next day she could tell I was quite sullen as the future weighed on my mind. While I love my wife dearly, Traci could just not be put away. Later that day she somewhat apologized and said that maybe she could live with the panties. My entire top drawer is filled with them and that is all I wear, 24/7. I really made no comment and life went on.
The other day we were preparing to have someone else stay in our home to care for our dogs while we traveling for a period. In the past she has asked that I remove the panties so no one finds out my secret. She asked about them and I told her I had already removed them. Them she offered that maybe I could just keep them in her drawer so I would not have to go through this each time. I said I would think about that. (It would mean I would have to cut my selection down and I certainly enjoy opening my drawing each day now to eye the options.)
So now I question. Is she softening on the crossdressing? I know, who can figure out the thought process of a woman. Certainly not me. But my hope is that this is a tiny bit of forward movement and the future might have just a touch of the sun shining in.
