Simply stated, I came out to my wife tonight. Eve though CD is new to me, I decided it best to move in the direction of full disclosure and avoid sneakiness.
I'm pleased to say the results were very good! She was very surprised but also very interested...lots of questions, and very supportive and understanding. Her only requirement is that she not see me en femme. Since we have been together for 41 years she thinks it would be unsettling to see me as another person. That is fine with me especially at this point in my CD development, so it's a very good arrangement indeed. I like the questions, now that she knows i find I'm very interested in talking about it with her. Kind of a turn on, actually.
My fantasy is that she becomes secure enough with this to help me with makeup...that would be incredible...but if not, still this works for both of us.
So its been a great day...as it is said, the truth will set you free...and i feel free at last.
