My wife has been supportive of my crossdressing since I became active 15 years ago, but prefers to not see me dressed, though it has not been an issue when our paths cross briefly. I used to get out and meet a friend occasionally for dinner and drinks at a LGBT bar but have not been able to with the closures. My wife has had a few friends over during the summer safely distancing in our backyard and she has been so happy when she does. I asked her if I could invite my friend Cheryl over for a backyard get together since I cannot get out and she said fine. So early October, on a nice clear evening Cheryl came over and we sat in the backyard sipped wine and had snacks with my wife too. This was the first time I have sat with my wife and spent time dressed as Brenda THE FIRST! We had a wonderful evening of conversation, my wife was totally at ease and even told Cheryl to come back again. I am not sure this would ever have happened under normal conditions. I was so happy we were just three people enjoying the evening.
