Years ago, I had a girlfriend I wanted to tell but just could not. I prepared a talk for months but it never happened because I lacked courage.
I am in a different situation now in that I have a boyfriend rather than a girlfriend. Instead of stalling and stalling, after a year or so together, I finally told him something like this. ?I would like to disclose something about myself that I have revealed to very few people ever. For many years, off and on, i have felt an attraction to women?s clothing. The attraction comes and goes, but lately I have been thinking about it more and more, I do not really understand why, but I would like to try on some feminine items.?
Maybe the dynamic is different in a gay relationship, but my partner took it well, Yes, he asked me questions like did I want an operation. He has no interest in seeing me dressed, and I have not shown him any of my clothes, but now I do not feel like I will have to explain things awkwardly upon getting caught, which may or may never happen.
I wish I had said the above to that ex-girlfriend years ago.
