Something my wife said... Need Advice

[carnut62]

Thursday night my wife was supposed to go to the fabric store with another mother in her mom's group but the other mother cancelled. So she asked if I would take her. On the way out of the driveway she said something like: I was a good husband for taking her places like we were going. That not a lot of husbands would do it. And she was pretty sure most of the husbands she knows wouldn't.

This got me thinking that it might be a good time to bring up crossdressing. I know I need to bring it up and I have let other opportunities slip by.

Some history: About 6 years ago she found a bag with pantyhose, miniskirts and some tops I didn't hide very well. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her for days. She cut them all up into pieces and wouldn't talk about it at all, locked herself in the bathroom. I tried talking through the door. This incident was used as an excuse for starting smoking again. To make peace I promised to get rid of my stuff except some leggings and bike shorts I could wear while working out. She agreed and I did get rid of everything I really wish I had found a site like this back then. I was caught off guard and really didn't know how to respond to her. I knew the answers to the basic questions but still through a bathroom door was the only discussion. Except for her saying that I knew why she smoked a few times. She has since given that up before the kids.

Well about 3 years later after our son was born I had a bad case of the "want to dress" blues. One weekend when they were out of town I broke down and bought some stuff. I needed the stress outlet and it is just so darn relaxing. Now I don't get to dress very often at all. I think my attitude refelcts this as she has told me at times that I am being an as$#@le and I am pretty sure I know why.

I know she isn't going to want to hear about it again. A lot in our lives have changed, 2 kids now and we are older.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to approach this conversation? Topics I should steer clear of, etc.

Hugs,
Tabitha.
