I?m in my early 50?s and my wife knows that if given a chance to transition from a CIS male to a female, I would. She knows that I like to wear certain feminine clothes in private and I often underdress in skimpy bikini underwear or thongs with pantyhose, however... I feel embarrassed to do it in front of her. At this point in my life there is no way I can medically transition, however I am slowly doing so in my appearance, and my mannerisms.
Has anyone else felt trapped and want to be more feminine in front of their spouse but feel bad for them or just maybe even a bit embarrassed thinking you have to appear as the strong male they fell in love with?

If this is the wrong forum for this I apologize. It?s not about cross dressing for me, it?s about wanting to be a woman full time.

Thank you
