Last night my wife and I were talking over some of her issues with my cross dressing. Something she brought up, which surprised me, was that when I am dressed(as on most days) and someone rings the doorbell, that I go upstairs and let her answer the door. "as if you were ashamed of it" she said.
I explained to her that I did so mostly for her sake, because I thought she wanted me to be discrete. I told her that I would start answering the door, dressed or not, if that was how she felt about it. She agreed, and we went on to other issues.
This morning I double checked, just to be sure, and she affirmed that she is on board with me answering the door dressed.
I am surprised and a little excited about this extension of the freedom I already enjoy.
There are only about three neighbors in the entire neighborhood who have ever rung our doorbell, and even with them it's a rare thing. In the age of cell phones people call before they come over. So, most likely, it will be the postman, a delivery person, or someone soliciting for politics or religion. Still I am anticipating it, and I hope I don't get panicky when it happens.
