marriage question from the other angle...

VS Don't think this is going to be easy.
Don't think for a minute life is going to be greener on the other side it's not the grass is dead just dyed green.
I don't know your whole story or your wants and needs. only you do at this point.
don't think that you can just go find someone that accepts your cding that is a very long shot
Hopefully your doing this with your eyes wide open and not with the little gurl between your legs.

Foxy, "It’s a long story, for another time" Let that time be soon. We love success stories.

Thanks, Jenny! I’ll write it up and share, promise. I just don’t want to hijack and derail the thread, lol

I was married to a woman that would encourage me dressing up then would call me horrible names when I dressed up. She tried controlling my life and I let her to keep her happy. I was literally abused all 4 ways, I don't feel like going into details about the whole relationship but after being with this person for a total of 10 years I couldn't do it anymore and got a divorce.

Then I met someone and from the start we laid down rules on how I'm a CD and what I can and can't do. Nothings perfect, but it's better than it was before.

Good luck to you, only you know how much you can take

I guess If you don't want to have to hide then you should have told her before you got married.
I was always afraid to tell my SO from day one about how strong my need to dress was so I was in the closet from day 1.
After we got married I would dress about one a month until the babies started coming.
I was so busy with the joys of having children I just about completely stopped dressing for about twenty years.

About two years ago after the children have moved out the thoughts of dressing came back strong.
I started dressing again and was so disappointed with the way I looked so I started looking for info on cross-dressing makeup tips and found this site.
This site made me feel better about who I am so I decided to tell my wife. Well it didn't go well to say the least.
Now I back deep in the Closet and as far as I can figure that's my best option!

I told my kids that I dress for fun sometimes and they think it's no big deal, which makes me feel a little better.
I love my wife and family more than dressing so it's probably in the closet till I'm to old to dress!
