It's threads like this one that help me fully appreciate my DW. We share a wonderful relationship as husband and wife and have for over 30 years. She's cool with my CDing, and even encourages it at certain times. She once told me I'm simply "dimensionally sophisticated" and it needs no explanation.

That said, I'm in man mode most of the time. About once every other month we get away for a girls weekend and will slip in a day here and there. In between time we shop together, get couples massages and mani/pedis together, and a few other bonding activities other might consider feminine. On the flip side, she goes fishing with me, works on the bikes with me, goes to the skeet range with me, etc.

In short, we choose to celebrate being alive and the togetherness. We've lost two children in separate tragedies and there's not a day goes by that that doesn't tear at us in some way. Thus, we'd both share that there are far worse things that can happen than me wearing a dress occasionally. Nevertheless, it might not be for everyone.
