Patricia, You can certainly try to lock Patricia away but I feel very certain in the long run it will not work. I tried very hard to suppress this side of me for way too long but it did not work. I know for sure I am not the only member here to try and do that. I guess it could make life easier but too bad on that. We all need to eventually just accept that we are at the very least cross dressers. Once you accept that your life will be happier. I cannot ever imagine this side of me going away.
Life is full of compromises and finding the level of what we enjoy and what both of you can accept will be the difficult part.
I wish both of you good luck finding happiness.
